    Please help. Mic, speakers and headphones!

    Hello guys. Currently im using Audient id4 with Sennheiser HD 600 headphones and a shure sm7b microphone. I added a dynamite to the microphone, but it is still underpowered. I'm looking to add speakers, maybe like the KEF Q150, and was wondering how to have all these 3 things working well...

    Poking around inside a Swissonic UA-2x2

    Can a 2x2, 24/96 capable (UAC1) audio interface for a mere 65€ from Thomann's house brand be any good? Well, I just happened to need something to take care of an XLR condenser mic so I could finally liberate the Audient EVO 4 from my office PC and use it for portable measurements again, and I...

    Which budget USB-C portable DAC for a headset with a microphone, for conference calls and listening to music?

    I need it for conference calls and listening to music on my phone and laptop (Android and Ubuntu). It should have a 3.5mm input with 4 pins for a headset with a microphone and be portable and small in size. I would pay $30 if its only good enough for conference calls or up to $70 if I can use it...

    Is it possible to flatten out a non measurement microphone?

    I was wondering if one could flatten out a microphone by inverting the frequency response found in a graph. I would like to get a taste of the result without having to buy an expensive microphone for this... There's a Superlux microphone, which is pretty cheap, but requires an audio interface...

    Audio for ms teams, zoom etc.

    I tried to use my audio interface with a Rode NT-1 in a shock mount to the side and it worked quite well, but when I have to take notes during a meeting, it would pick up the mouse clicks and typing on the keyboard way too much. I had to constantly mute and unmute the microphone. I got a bit...

    Budget desk-mounted mic boom arm recommendations

    To reduce mic setup footprint, I was looking at desk clamped boom arms. However, it seems like good, professional quality units are well into the 3 figures USD. I really don’t want to spend more for a stand than the value of my modest MXL mic, so I was wondering if anyone has tried any of the...

    Hello all, Any thoughts about how to increase the volume of the mic for voice when using bluetooth? Note: the problem occurs on my iPhone 13 and also on my RealMe 3 Pro. Other people on the call can barely hear me, but it does not occur when connected to my laptop, where the mic volume is...

    Clark "mic booster" CT-1 review

    Purchased at Amazon in hope of obtaining some "free" gain for dynamic microphones. Admittedly, I was lured by the comment made in the name of Ramesh Singaram: Clean gain? Initial voice recording sounded distorted, so I decided to measure the device. All done via loopback on Audient ID4 mk II...

    Apple Dongle (USB-C to 3.5 mm) ADC quality with EarPods/free headsets

    I read somewhere years ago that perhaps crinacle used the apple dongle's ADC via an adapter to measure equipment because apple dongle's ADC is the best of all USB-C dongles. I think this is true. It is not studio quality, but it does support 24/48 PCM recording in mono and does not have as much...

    Headset cable (1xP3) -> Splitter cable (2xP2) -> Headphone cable on DAC -> Microphone cable on PC -> Noise from motherboard (Help!)

    I use a "headset cable" on my AKG K371 headphone: It has a P3 connector, a splitter divides it into two P2 connectors, one for the headphone output (plugged into my Loxjie D10 DAC) and another for the microphone input (plugged into the computer's front or back panel). As soon as I plug the...

    Search for Good Mic Preamps

    Hi all, Created this thread to find mic preamps that will be good enough (and hopefully not too pricey) to match the Cosmos ADC's level of performance. How are the preamps below? I'm new to this but they appealed to me after a day of searching and shortlisting. Curious about any other...

    Can you compare hearing sensitivity and mic self-noise like this?

    Apples to oranges or pear-to-pear networking, that is the question. https://www.lewitt-audio.com/microphones/lct-recording/lct-540s So that on top is the bog-standard hearing threshold curve for sinusoidal stimuli, I assume. Now what would have happened if they chose another analysis...
