Fifine K688 as a VLOG Microphone (NOT your usual mic review)
Fairly Low self noise ?? SOLD lemme get one too 😂
Is a great mic for the price. Balanced sound, reasonable construction but a good look🎙️
I'm looking for the best audio interface for the sm7b and I don't want the mic to have too much bass with no hiss sound in the background you have any recommendations?
Doesn't sound as good as the FiFine AM8 or Tank 3 or K688.
Is it compatible with an ipad via otg?
Good bro..is it mic support in dji action 3?
If the action 3 has a usb-c port and can work with usb mics, there's a good chance it'll work!
@@DaveSoltura oh okay thank you bro
Hey Dave, what do you think will be a budget microphone and this will be for gaming and meetings, I’m not sure what $30 could get me
Try the Maono DGM20!
@@DaveSoltura Okay thank you very much Dave
I got mine alongside the AM1 mixer also from Boya but I didn't get the stickers 😢. It's still an awesome mic though.
finefine?
That's how Fifine would like their company name to be pronounced. :)
Please add Amazon affiliate links for the microphones that you mention!
Thanks for the reminder, Art! I usually try, but the mics tend to not be on Amazon, or at least available on my end since I'm in the Philippines. They do begin to appear at some point though. Here's the PD400x link! amzn.to/3W3TI5C
@@DaveSoltura Done. Purchased using your link!
@@artmaltman Thank you for the support! Hope you enjoy your new PD400x!
Dave, I want to get you the affiliate link $$ when I buy the PD400x but your notes under the video don't have any links at all. This is all text, no links: "Disclaimer: I get a kickback from some of these affiliate links at no additional cost to you. These are affiliate links that help support this channel.

Love the Maono PD400x sound in USB. It was less warm in your XLR test; perhaps needs computer EQ.
Hoping for budget audio interface tier list in the future
I remember in season 4, me and my friends, we would get up early and hop on, we were all trash, and I was known as the “minigun god”. And whenever we would see those stacks of planks, we knew we were about to have infinite mats. And don’t even get me started on the nostalgia of save the world. Good times man. Good times.
im having a problem with my PD200X and it sounds like a bee whenever im not talking and randomly cutting out do you have any advice on how to fix it
I went with the AM8. Found 2 of them used in great shape online at a Guitar Center in Katy, TX and ordered both. One for me and one for my son. I bought 2 shock mounts for them off a guy who 3D prints them to help with vibrations. Your vid helped me and my son decide on the AM8 due to the proximity effect. We both have bassy voices. Thank you for the vid!
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Dave, may I ask if the Tank 3 is also good in USB mode? I was looking for best USB mics and Fifine is in my interest to buy it aince it looks professional with no RGB lights but if the Tank 3 is not a good USB mic, have you got any recommendations that is Fifine brand or even a different brand that looks professional and does NOT HAVE RGB lights? Thanks 😄
They’ve updated these mics to make them better. The moved the capsule back to make it less prone to plosives. They also made the windscreen thicker. I use it for my podcast
Rode side very noisy room , Suggest me a micro phone about 100-160 $ ,Please response Brother .
Hi, Dave thanks you for the new video but i have a question, does the mic arm work for any mic. Will it work with the Feelworld pm1? Thank you for he great videos. @DaveSoltura
Yes it will! I’ve used the BM88 on my PM1.
What do you think is the best audio interface for the shure sm7b?
pd100u or fifine am8
How does sound of Tank3 compare to Maono PD400x? Seeking a rich “radio” sound. Thank you. Ps: I was going to keep the K688 that I tried recently but it began to work intermittently after a couple hours. Is reliability an issue w FIFINE?
The PD400x would be better for that use. I personally haven't encountered a Fifine product failing within the first few hours. I've had an A8 fail after a year, but my K688 has been fine. Have you tried using a separate USB 3.0 cable? 2022 versions of the K688 had USB 2.0 which was providing an intermittent signal to the K688.
@@DaveSoltura Thanks for the feedback! As for K688 reliability, I tried the cable that came in the box but also a Thunderbolt 3 cable, just to be sure. Both worked fine at first. Then both did not work. Following morning, they work again, but intermittency is not acceptable. So sad. I liked the sound of the K688.
@@artmaltman Are you considering pairing it with an audio interface?
@@DaveSoltura I will probably switch to XLR for my main desk, but I like having the USB option for the first few months PLUS for travel. Do you think XLR would be more reliable on K688? That does make sense, given how much simpler it would be electronically in the microphone.
@@artmaltman Yes, because I suspect it's the preamps or a/d converters that conked out. The XLR connection is a different mechanism. That's the beauty of a USB + XLR mic! This latest video features the AM8, but also applies to the K688: ua-cam.com/video/ONOu-BwaafI/v-deo.html
Exciting! Does the software run on Macintosh? Thank you.
On MacOS Ventura, it does! I haven't updated my OS yet, though.
So much info, but done in a way anyone can understand.
You need to test the Zoom ZDM-1. Its only $37.99 or less on sale (reg. $50 now I think) and IMHO beats all of the ones you've tested. XLR only however.
Thanks for mentioning this! It was about $120 when it was first released. Seems $37.99 or $50 is the Sweetwater price. Hope it becomes available on other stores at that price, too!
for Maono pd400x, is the desktop stand also from maono?
The one that comes in the box is really short. I included to extension poles from two other Maono PD100s to form the stand. 😅
Do you max the pd400x mic volume for this setup sir?
Dave this was perfect. I don't want to conclude my findings because I want people to watch your whole video but let's just say all answers I had were answered. Thanks man keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. :)
I wish the Vocaster Hub Software had a noise reduction or Noise Gate filter and it would be perfect.
I agree wholeheartedly!
I have been watching your videos for a while thanks to your Review of the k688, and although I am very happy with my Blue Yeti (yup, it is the microphone I always want haha) I love seeing the fifine models, You are one of the few channels that reviews them in the best way, Consistently and reliably.
Thank you for the kind words. :) The Blue Yeti is popular for a reason! It’s the mic that popularized USB mics. And yeah! Fifine and other budget brand mics deserve in-depth love. We don’t always need a premium mic to sound good.😀
40:00 Really? Cause mine could even hold an King Bee 2 with Shockmount, which I think weighs more than twice as much xD
I got the fifine am8t a few months ago. It's the am8 but comes with a boom arm instead of a stand. I love it, I bought it cause the mic on my gaming headset crapped out.
how to make your k6788 sound better po?
I miss the warmth. Sigh.
Does Tank3 dethrone the K688?
In value? It does not. Just for build quality, and sound (subjectively).
Hi dave, planning to buy a mic and im looking for a mic that is best with singing, mic that im looking is am8,pd200x and feelworld pm1. Which mic do you think is the top 1, 2 and 3 among that 3 mics am8,pm1,pd200x, thanks dave
pm1, am8, pd200x in that order. PM1 is just very versatile and can be upgraded to an xlr setup. For sound though, I do like the A8!
@@DaveSoltura is it am8 or a8 mic?
@@StrongTVph AM8, not A8. :) The dynamic mic.
@@DaveSoltura thanks dave 😊, finally got my am8, and pd200x, feelworld pm1 is on shipment, i will be reviewing the 3 mic soon, bdw dave i got a problem on AM8, when i connected am8 to my poco f3 phone, the headset monitoring got no output, but it operate as an headphone of the android phone, what i can hear is the audio media of what ever i play on the poco android device, but the mic audio is none, para syang naggng headset na pang PC na may dlwang connector sa mic and earphone, pero d ko naririnig ung boses ko sa earphone. May work around ka kaya dun kuys? Tried different type of cable type c to type c, tried the included cable tas sinalpakan ko ng adaptor from usb a to type c ganun pdn sya. Anu kaya prob netong am8 ko?
Lol 😅
@davesoltura i hope you can make video like. if you will be starting home studio on a budget for 2024 what equipment should you get. So that we as newbie will be able to eliminate multiple purchases.
Thank you for the idea! While I can't promise I'd make this any time very soon because I still have a number of products to review, it's worth considering. Appreciate it!
Missed the 1/3! Even better though, you're more than 1/3 of the way! 🎉
I just bought this with the AM8, they arrive in like a week. It was funny to me that the mic was cheaper than the arm :))). Does the AM8 have any software?
Found that funny, too!😄 No, it doesn't come with software.
Is fifine a6v working fine? Are there any Background noise issues? Should I go with K669b or a6v?
A6v if you can! Most condenser mics will have background noise concerns. If that is the main issue, consider an active noise canceling mic like the Maono DGM20 or a dynamic mic like the K688.
Thank you for the review and glad to know you enjoy the boom arm!💥
yooo, i just bought the AM8 and the low profile arm, they arrive in a week, wanna sponsor me:D?
bro do you have recommendation for a sound application for windows?
Reaper for recording! It’s a one-time fee license, and you’ll use it for years to come.
@@DaveSoltura may tutorial ka on your workflow when editing sounds
Which is the one with the best out of box sound? Unfortunately i cant use a software enhancer on ps5. Thank you:)
AM8 for deeper voices, K688 for higher pitched voices. :)
Hello! What recording software did you use to record the audio?
I live in 2 story house and downstairs air conditioning runs during the day. If i am recording vocals or micing acoustic guitar would you recommend dynamic mic so less ac is picked up by mic? Thanks
Yes! If it’s downstairs, it’s much less likely to be picked up.
Definitely going to check this out!! Love your presentations!
Thank you, Clay!✨
Hi Dave, I was wondering what would be the best microphone that I can get if I always have my fan running, I’m planning to buy the Fifine K688 but I’m worried that it would pick everything in my surroundings
If it’s just for general use, try the Maono DGM20: ua-cam.com/video/_7MJPt5Gi6o/v-deo.html
This is my exact audio setup and I love it so much, Tank3 suits well with BM88 white even though they are the opposite colors. Best combination!
