Great review here, you talked on most important things
I guess I'm getting a fifine mic this year too
Testing, testing the microphone is a popular wording for of course testing the microphone so you are not wrong testing the microphone 😂
However, the raw sound coming off from both the AM8 and Fifine K68 is obviously a superior one in terms of clarity and depth. I can imagine what it would sound like when its cleaned.
using the xlr cable wayyyyy sounds better
The Fifine A8 is a Decent microphone, I left the audio and didn't increase the volume that's why it was low.
