Andrea Stenomask USB-SA Premium Genuine External USB Microphone Adapter

Why Court Reporters Use It

The Andrea USB-SA Premium External USB Stereo Sound Card is a professional external USB audio adapter that helps court reporters, voice writers, and stenomask users improve the computer audio path used for microphone input and speaker output.

For a court reporter using a stenomask, reliable audio matters. A cleaner microphone input can help support more consistent speech capture, transcription, remote proceedings, VoIP, and speech recognition workflows.

What Andrea Says It Does

Andrea Communications USB-SA eliminates the noise problems that are inherent in most standard, off-the-shelf computers. Often placed in close proximity to components such as the power supply and processors, internal sound cards or integrated audio systems can generate audible noise.

The USB-SA uses high quality digital circuitry to bypass the computer's internal sound system, converting the analog signal to digital. The result is increased clarity and performance of both the stereo microphone input and stereo speaker output for all digital audio applications including VoIP and speech recognition programs.

Is the Andrea USB-SA made only for stenomasks?

No. The Andrea USB-SA is a premium external USB stereo sound card. Martel recommends it for many stenomask voice writing setups because it provides a clean external USB audio path with microphone input and speaker output.

Which jack is for the microphone or stenomask?

The pink 3.5mm jack is the microphone input.

Which jack is for speakers or headphones?

The green 3.5mm jack is the speaker output.

What computers is it compatible with?

Andrea lists compatibility with Windows 10, Windows 11, and Apple Mac OS X 10.5 and up. MacBook computers with USB-C ports require a USB Type-C adapter for USB connectivity.

Is it portable?

Yes. The small form factor is compact and portable, making it easy to keep with a stenomask, laptop bag, headset, microphone, or court reporting setup.
