ModMic Business brings a beloved gamer tool to a professional audience

The ModMic is one of the most cost effective ways to add a high-quality audio recording solution to your gaming setup, and now the ModMic Business could do the same for professionals who regularly “Skype into” meetings from home or their office. The ModMic from Portland-based manufacturer Antlion is a boom microphone that you can add to nearly any headphones, so you don’t have to make sacrifices to get a headset with integrated recording.

The ModMic Business launched last week for $50, and it comes with everything you need to set it up with multiple headphones. Using easy double-sided sticky tape and a magnetic anchor, you can pop the microphone off and on whenever you need it. This means you can still run outside with your nice headphones without a microphone hanging off the side, but then it’s ready to go for that important meeting with clients on Google Hangouts. This is how I’ve used the ModMic5 for communications in games, but Antlion has made some specific improvements to appeal specifically to business customers.
