FIFINEPodcast Equipment Bundle Set, Music Recording Kit with Studio Dynamic Microphone and USB Audio Mixer with XLR Mic Input, Headphone Monitoring, Volume Knob for Vocal/Voice Over-AmpliTank KS6

The microphone's a bit more sensitive than I hoped but for the price and features I can't complain at all. Works and sounds great, build quality is impressive and everything is high quality. A plus!

Very good quality sound and extended options with additional intstrument input port included in the sound interface. Highly recommend for a good versitle podcast setup.

I'll get it out of the way, the build on this interface does not inspire confidence at all. It's plastic, it's light, and it feels like a toy. Fortunately there's rubber feet on the bottom, otherwise it would be slipping and sliding everywhere when you adjust it and plug things into it. If you were to base this on the immediate reaction of picking it up and feeling it, you will not come away impressed.Saying such, using it, the interface and the dynamic mic works really nicely. Adjusting gain input on the interface is super easy, and the responsiveness of the led meter is nice. It's a binary on/off meter which is better than nothing, but it would of been nice to see levels. I tried several mics on it including the provided XLR mic and they all sounded pretty decent. I did get a nice benefit from using a cloud lifter on the BHPS-1 headset mic, but the Rode Podmic didn't need one. The mic provided with the set actually sounds pretty decent also, mostly if just using this as a streamer setup. Sadly I didn't see a push to mute option at all on the interface, which is a pity.The headphone output on the interface was strong enough to put decent sound to a Sennheiser HD650 and a few other headsets. Though I had to go a little higher on the volume control wheel.Installing the interface was super easy. Windows had no issues detecting it, and I'm using Nvidia broadcast to clean the signal. People on my discord says it has a nice sound and warmth, though they prefer the sound from the Rodecaster Duo more when compared side by side (I do have post processing on the Rode enabled).At $79.99 this feels like a decent deal. The interface itself is $54.99 so you are basically getting a mic and the stand for $25. For a $25 xlr mic it sounds good, but I don't know if the interface is a $54.99 one. Even if they just added sound weight to the base would inspire more confidence in it. Possibly a metal plate if that doesn't affect the sound quality.I think this would be great for a first time streamer, etc. It does sound good. I suggest pairing it with a decent headset and this could be a really good starter as long as you can get past that plastic light build of the interface and lack of a quick mute button.

Here is a pic of my cluttered desk, with the mic in my existing boom, with my existing wind sock, and the mixer not the shelf under the monitor in front of it.Prior to this, I was using a pretty highly ranted USB microphone. If you know about USB microphones and Windows you know that there is a driver problem that causes them to all have low leves, no matter what you do (the only real solution is to download third-party equalizer software and boost the level using it, which adds noise and other issues, I've found that it doesn't work great with some other software).I wish I had another microphone to test how well this works supplying fantom power (the included microphone doesn't need it, and I suspect a more expensive mic would actually give you more dynamic range), but I will say that this microphone with its level all the way up gives me about 3x the volume of the USB mic (according to windows built-in % power meter, in software like Audacity or Davinci Resolve you can set it to peak at a correct level which I couldn't do with the USB mic).I am also very happy with the sound quality, I have a fairly low voice (frequency-wise) that can be difficult to record well, I think I come pretty close to what is filtered out on a traditional phone system sometimes making me hard to hear. With this mic, I was able to get nice clear recordings with enough range that it sounded good in its raw format, and that I was able to do something with them in editing.As far as features, well it is functional but it has that "designed by an engineer to meet a budget feel." It has LED indicators for everything, the circles around the knobs light up with input and change colors with levels, but there is no consistency, there is an LED indicator, a light up switch, the stuff around the knobs lights up...., it's just not "cool looking" and doesn't have enough weight to feel like an expensive piece of hardware. But if you can get past that I think it's a GREAT unit for the money. I'm happy with it.

I recently got the FIFINE Podcast Equipment Bundle Set, and it's pretty solid for the price. The set includes a studio dynamic microphone and a USB audio mixer with an XLR mic input, headphone monitoring, and a volume knob.It's definitely basic but functional, perfect for someone just starting out with podcasting or recording. The microphone delivers clear sound, and the audio mixer is straightforward to use. I appreciate the headphone monitoring feature, which makes it easy to keep track of my audio quality.Overall, this bundle is a great value for beginners looking for a simple, effective recording solution.
