Ugreen UG-90416 Desktop USB Microphone

The UGREEN UG-90416 is a USB condenser desktop microphone with a 360° omnidirectional polar pattern. Also designated as the CM564, this microphone samples audio at 16-bit/48 kHz. It connects via USB-A and operates as a plug-and-play device. No additional drivers or software are required. As a result, the UGREEN UG-90416 works immediately on Windows 7/8.1/10/11, macOS, and Linux systems.

The microphone body is housed in a frosted aluminum casing. This finish provides anti-scratch and anti-fingerprint properties. The UGREEN UG-90416 weighs approximately 170 g and measures 120 × 40 × 40 mm. A built-in mute button with an LED indicator sits on the base. Additionally, the unit includes an adjustment knob for microphone volume control directly on the device.

Omnidirectional Audio Capture

The UGREEN UG-90416 uses a 360° omnidirectional pickup pattern. This means the condenser capsule captures sound equally from all directions. There is no need to position the microphone directly in front of the speaker. Consequently, the UGREEN UG-90416 is suited for multi-person conference calls, round-table discussions, and environments where speakers are positioned at varying angles.

The frequency response range spans 100 Hz to 15,000 Hz. This range covers the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the human voice. The sensitivity rating is -38 ± 3 dB. Meanwhile, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is rated at greater than 60 dB. These specifications ensure that spoken audio is captured clearly while ambient room noise remains at a lower relative level.

Flexible Positioning and Stand Design

The UGREEN UG-90416 features a 60° flexible neck. This bendable gooseneck holds its position after adjustment. Users can angle the microphone toward their speaking position without needing to reposition the base. Furthermore, the stand allows 360° rotation, providing full directional control from a fixed desk placement.

The base of the UGREEN UG-90416 incorporates a silicone pad on the underside. This pad prevents the microphone from sliding on smooth desk surfaces. The balanced centre of gravity in the base design also reduces the risk of tipping during use. Therefore, the UGREEN UG-90416 maintains a stable position even on cluttered or angled work surfaces.

Controls and Mute Function

A one-button mute control is located on the base of the UGREEN UG-90416. Pressing this button instantly mutes the microphone input. An LED indicator changes state to confirm whether the microphone is active or muted. This visual feedback is useful during video conferences or live streams where quick muting is needed without navigating software settings.

In addition to the mute button, the UGREEN UG-90416 includes a physical volume adjustment knob. This knob controls the microphone input level directly on the hardware. Users can increase or decrease pickup sensitivity without opening operating system audio settings. As a result, volume adjustments can be made silently and without interrupting ongoing recordings or calls.

Connectivity and Compatibility

The UGREEN UG-90416 connects to a host device through a USB-A port. The USB 2.0 interface provides bus power, so no external power supply is required. The attached USB cable measures 1.5 metres in length. This cable length offers adequate reach for typical desktop and laptop setups.

The UGREEN UG-90416 also includes a 3.5 mm audio output port. This port allows users to route the PC or laptop audio output through the microphone base. Headphones or external speakers can be connected to this jack for real-time audio monitoring. Moreover, the microphone is compatible with PCs, laptops, and tablets running Windows 7 and above, macOS, or Linux distributions.

Build and Construction

The outer shell of the UGREEN UG-90416 is made from frosted aluminum. This material choice adds durability while maintaining a compact form factor. The frosted surface treatment minimises visible fingerprints and minor surface scratches over prolonged use.

Internal noise reduction processing is handled by an integrated intelligent chip. This chip helps isolate the speaker’s voice from background environmental sounds. While the UGREEN UG-90416 does not feature active noise cancellation (ANC), the chip-level noise reduction improves clarity in typical home office and classroom environments.
