Condenser microphones have some inherent advantages which have made them staples as the vocal recording microphone of choice since they were invented. The diaphragm is made of a thin sheet or membrane which means it requires less sound to move and thus can more accurately follow the incoming sound waves. Condenser microphones have the widest frequency response and the best transient response when compared to other capsule types such as dynamic. A characteristic of condenser microphone is that they offer higher sensitivity (Output) and lower noise in the signal compared to dynamic microphones.

Another interesting feature is clipguard, you know then that MIC volume level is too high or yo are too close to it, your voice can get distorted. Clipguard technology it built into the analog-to-digital converter, Wave:3 automatically soothes overdriven sound waves before sending them to your computer. So you can dial in levels once, and focus on your audience.
