CES 2009: USB microphones
At CES 2009, Shure unveiled the PG27USB and PG42USB microphones. The two new digital recording microphones can be connected to any USB computer port. Both are cardioid condenser microphones and feature built-in headphone monitoring with zero latency and monitor mix control. This enables you to instantly hear what is being recorded through the headphones and make adjustments to it.

Shure PG27USB and PG42USB
The Shure PG27USB and PG42USB microphones are for everyday use, but are also sophisticated enough for advanced recording. There is one key difference between the PG27USB and PG42USB microphones. The PG27USB features a flat, neutral frequency response for reproduction of a wide variety of sound sources. And the PG42USB was specifically engineered to reproduce the subtle nuances of lead vocals.
