The u37 isn’t necessarily cognisant of whether it is recording or not, but it knows when the computer is asking for data. When the LED is blinking, that means that it’s listening. Some accessories don’t turn their lights off when you shut your computer down, so this is something I’m very thankful for. As soon as you plug the mic into your computer, it the light will come on and when you shut down or put your computer to sleep it will turn off. The LED is more than just a pretty light, however, because it also has a functional purpose. You’ll notice the bright blue LED on the front and that is a bit of an eyesore for some, but it matches the rest of my bright blue LED-laden machine. Of course, you’re the only one that has to see it, but you still want it to look good with your setup. Good news, however, the u37 is a very attractive desktop piece. Things like how it looks on your desk and how difficult it is to set up are important, they just aren’t the first things you think about. Of course it’s the top priority, but there are other things to think about as well. Sound quality isn’t everything when it comes to a good microphone. I didn’t notice a whole lot of difference between the sound when I switched between the flat and accentuated bass, but that could have more to do with the type of sound I was recording and the quality of my computer’s speakers. When I switch it back to 0 dB, it returns to a very crisp sound. This is natural because it’s literally picking up less range of sound. What you’ll notice about the sound when I turn down the decibel level to -10 is that it’s a lot more muffled. This is going to be a lot clearer than the sound on Hangouts because it was recorded on my local machine. To take care of that, I went ahead and recorded a quick blurb of me messing with all of the different sound options on the front of the microphone. Again, it’s not the best example because it’s something that was recorded online, but it’s a good way to compare sound quality to other high-quality desk mics. You will also see the CAD Sessions headphones that I reviewed a while back featured in the podcast. I come in for the first time at about 30 minutes in and if you compare the sound of the rest of the participants of the podcast, (Who all use Blue Microphones) I would say that the sound of the u37 is a lot clearer and void of background noise albeit not as loud, which is something that seems to plague CAD products.
