CAD Audio ZOE USB Mic Review / Test HD

Today I review a windows & mac compatible budget USB mic from CAD, the CAD Zoe. Unfortunately, this microphone leaves a lot to be desired and given the $40 price tag, I would urge you to look at other USB mics in this price range as there are better options. NOTE: To ensure that digital interference was not caused by a grounding issue, I tested the mic on multiple Mac Laptops both plugged in and unplugged and the issue persisted.
