The Loopa is a trailblazing and unique microphone that is claimed to be the first microphone ever developed that is capable of bringing loop and overdub functionality to the mic itself.
Current microphones pose a big problem -- they make it exceptionally difficult for you to record your vocals and then replay them in the form of a loop if you'd like to sing on top of them to create layers of vocals. It's difficult because it requires a mix of high-tech software and hardware that isn't easy to navigate. The Loopa, developed by UK-based company Sonuus, makes it easier than ever for singers to control loop effects.
This unique microphone makes it possible for you to stop looped playback at any time, so that you have complete control of vocal output. Ultimately, this technology allows musicians to create layers of vocals on stage to create more expansive music.
