Had fun working with you brother! 😎💯🔥
We were working?? 😂Until next time, brother!!
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
My goodness the audio sounds incredible guys! I’m impressed
Glad you feel that way! :) Might review an even cheaper podcast setup soon!
THANK YOU SO MUCH NEEDED THIS!
You’re welcome!
I like the camera look on your friend. It looks great
Hi! I bought this mic because of this podcast it sounded crisp haha and heck I even made a review on it on my channel for fun. Thank you again bro!
Glad it worked out for you!! I’ll have a look at your review soon! :)
awesome seeing a pratical mic review! more mic reviews should have real world demostraions. thanks for the awesome content, dave!!
Thank you for the kind words!! :) More to come!
Nice to see you and Zack together, man! Awesome vid!
Vince, thanks so much for taking the time to comment and for the kind words! :) I enjoyed having him on, and there will be more in the future!
Also realized this video was yoru suggestion, so let me tag your handle in the description! :)
@@DaveSoltura Thanks Dave!
Awesome
I hope i get that one day
OOOOHH!! Thank you for this Dave. I was looking for a dynamic mic and I think I'll add this to my "To-buy list".
Btw... Thank y'all for the videos. You've been uploading consistently!
Thank you for the kind words, Ralpphie. 🙂 UA-cam is quite difficult to squeeze into my schedule, but comments like yours help me keep going.
Very cool video. Loved it, the explanations, the set up, awesome.
Didn’t get to see output of the Q12 plugged to the laptop or any other recording device. Help me here
Damn, this is so fine. Maybe you can compare the K688 with some budget mics like behringer XM8500 or even Elgato mics.
You're not the first to mention the XM8500, Husain! I had one before but there was something about it that was a dealbreaker for me... still, it did sound very full, at that price! I'll look into these possibilities. :)
Imusing this teyun for my recoding with a mic U78 condenser and its suberb
Do you think you can share your obs filter settings? I just got my teyun q12 and am looking to use your setup. Thanks man.
will this be ok for electric guitar for virtual amp sim
Can the Q12 power two SM7B?
how did you separate two tracks with this interface? because this is my first audio interface and it only records one track and can't separate them.
Hi! I answer that in this short: ua-cam.com/users/shortsaNSIN0DwMWk?feature=share
Would the shure mv7x work with the teyun q12?
As an XLR mic, it would!
Hello what is the microphone stand?
Generic 0.80 cent stand from a local online platform
There's an infinite loop, the link on the SM7B clone links to this video, which links to another video that takes me to the SM7B clone unboxing again 😢
Sadly when used with USB Fifine mics are super quiet with my PC. I tried K688 and AM8.
How close is your mouth to the Fifines when speaking into them? :)
@@DaveSoltura super close
K688 is better than pd200x?
Smoother, P200x is brighter
Do you think the Fifine K688 is a good a podcast microphone? ☀️
it sounds like an all around mic to me, but you did mention the buzzing which maybe a deal breaker, I honestly think a comparison between this and the xm8500 would be very good.
@@scoremoore4280 Thanks for the comment! :) The buzzing is only when using the included USB-C cable (gotta use a 3.0 cable) or when using the Teyun, which creates the buzz. On usb 3.0 and with other audio interfaces, the K688 is a very clean-sounding mic! :)
It is a great mic on its price range!
Btw, have you ever tried to pair the K688 with a Behringer UM2? If so, did it sound any better? (Or at least did it buzz as well?) I am considering to take the better one between these two soundcard products.
Anyway, great video as always, Dave!
Can I use this for vocals? I am looking for a vocal mic I really liek the bass effect of dynamic microphones. Anyone using this for recording vocals?
It’s a pretty sweet vocal (i.e. singing) mic, if you ask me. From a technical standpoint, it’s got many fronts covered. It’s just a matter of preference now. :)
@@DaveSoltura Thanks for fast reply! Going to buy this mic now, can you please tell me if the builtin usb audio interface is somehow good? I heard in another video review that a guy bought 2 microphones and got 2 broken usb audios.
@@arthurkelley That was my experience as well. I bought two copies just like the person you’re referring to. The issue isn’t with the broken preamp, but it’s with an incompatible cable included in the box. You’ll need a high speed USB C to USB C cable. I can’t recommend any particular cables as I just re-use the one that came with my ipad.
Hey Just got this interface didn't come with software I'm just trying to get my xbox audio to come thur audacity I plugged the xbox red in white cables to the interface i plugged a headphone up to the interface I can hear the audio but I'm losted at how do i can the sound into my PC audacity program
Hi there! Have you tried selecting the Teyun Q12 in audacity as a Recording Device? I’m not sure if it would selectable as Teyun Q12. You can just do trial and error and pick devices and try recording with them until you hear your xbox sound. Here’s how to change your recording device: manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_selecting_your_recording_device.html
@@DaveSoltura the interface actually doesn't show up I plugged an analog converter up to the interface the plan was jus to get music off the generator from the original the interface actually helps better with adjusting the volumes it converts the track straight into mp3 format I have cd recorder but the laser died out these are the only two ways to export audio off original xbox without static yeah never could get the xbox audio to come out audacity I use to hardware not software programs but I found a better way help I brought this Interface
@@DaveSoltura see I'm recording thur analog to digital
@@ommii The closest experience I can share is when my wife wanted to run her audio from her interface into her audio software (Ableton), and use it on Zoom. To make this work, she needed a plug-in (though she can’t remember which). There should be free and paid plugins to accomplish this. I hope we could’ve been of more help, but that’s the extent of our knowledge on this. Really hoping you can get it to work!
@@ommii Try this: ua-cam.com/video/6KoTZjKKaPQ/v-deo.html
How much gain is set in the interface?
If I remember correctly, it was set to maximum :)
@@DaveSoltura How it compares to cheap Behringer interfaces?
@@blackjohnny0 Teyun sounds “punchier” than the UM2, but the Teyun has a bit of a static buzz, and the UM2 doesn’t. But every Behringer with a Midas preamp (UMC series) has cleaner audio overall.
san niyo po nabibili yung fifine k688? hndi ko po siya nakita sa shopee T^T
Hello! Sa official store po ng Fifine sa Lazada. :)
Hum... i have questions bro. Can it connect two microphones?
It is very important questions for me
I have two microphones. So i need audio interface that can connect two microphones.
Yes, it can connect two microphones! As was shown in the podcast. :)
@@DaveSoltura oh! Thanks bro
@@DaveSoltura hum.. i have more questions, i have condencer Microphone and dinamic Microphone. Can they connect that?
@@HaNaDou1009 The Teyun Q12 can only do either 2 dynamics, and 2 condensers, not 1 of each. This is because there is only 1 phantom power switch.
Condensers require phantom power.
Dynamics do not, and it is best practice not to supply them with phantom power.
Given you can only have phantom power on or off for both, you can’t use one of each.
It takes an interface that has individual phantom power buttons per xlr port to do that. One that I know is the Motu M2, but it’s on the pricey side.
@@DaveSoltura i don't have much money, so i need cheap audio interface that can connect both dynamic and condencer. Can you recommend it to me?
TEYUN Q12 , champion.. patay mga branded sa quality at presyo..
Sobrang sulit!
