$50 mic arm, $99 performance - Fifine BM88 Mic Arm Review (ft. Fifine Tank 3, Fifine AM8, K688)

[@luizeduardo6036]

I'm Brazilian and whenever I have doubts or want to know something about microphones, audio and the like, I always come to my channel and I always answer my questions, thank you very much and please continue!

[@DaveSoltura]

I was in the middle of a creative crisis, even contemplating quitting KZbin before you commented this. Thank you for the comment. It reminded me why we do what we do.

[@Bekohat]

Hi Dave I would like to know briefly from you whether the AM8 microphone needs an external audio interface such as SC1 or SC3, is the difference worth paying for the audio interface or is just the USB connector enough? Or is it better to invest the same amount in purchasing a boom arm from Fifine Like fifine bm88 ? And about the USB cable, would you suggest buying another USB cable from UGREEN or Anker 3.0 instead of the one that comes with the microphone?

[@DaveSoltura]

Hi! The short answer is that usb mode is more than sufficient for most people. But I do have a video coming out next week answering exactly this concern in detail! I test the AM8 in USB mode, with the SC1, with a mic booster, and with the Focusrite Vocaster interface. The video is already available for members if you’re in a hurry. As for the cable, I’ll have to confirm with Fifine if the cable has been updated. You might want to try getting the AM8 first and see if the included cable works. There’s a chance they made silent updates to the included cable.

[@Bekohat]

@@DaveSoltura thank you for your reply I would like you to nominate an audio interface in the economic category that is compatible with the AM8 M-Audio M Track Solo or behringer um2 or Fifine SC1 Or if you have a better audio interface than them, please recommend it to me

[@selw0nk]

The allen wrench part stripped when I tighten it. They should have made it a twisting knob instead. My SM7B was still heavy for it and it would drag down. They also released a FIFINE Mic Boom Arm BM66 and BM66T

[@DaveSoltura]

Thanks for the information! Perhaps I haven’t used my SM7b on it long enough… might be better to load lighter mics in general. The BM66 and BM66T look interesting!

[@fifineemily2844]

Thank you for the review and glad to know you enjoy the boom arm!💥

[@LudwiQ6]

yooo, i just bought the AM8 and the low profile arm, they arrive in a week, wanna sponsor me:D?

[@iffyschannel]

Thanks for the thorough review, it was super helpful!

[@PortaDraun]

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!

[@mikejones-nd6ni]

i see many free mics in you future. Congrats. your good at what you do.

[@DaveSoltura]

Thank you for the kind words! All for the free mics!🤣

[@Benny_Vibes]

I’m thinking about getting the BM88 and a fifine AM8 for streaming rec vids and gaming

[@techsauce2706]

Subbed bro ❤ .. wholesome review

[@DaveSoltura]

Thanks for the sub!!

[@officialraindrops]

Great review dave! Also thanks for being in my childhood xD

[@idan3585]

I ordered the white combo of the BM88 & K688, hope it will perform well

[@DaveSoltura]

All the best!

[@DaveSoltura]

Do you think the BM88 boom arm is worth the price? :)

[@ryanblakeit]

Yes, 100%. I have 3 for my 2x AM8 & K688. Thanks for the great content!

[@DaveSoltura]

@@ryanblakeit And thank you for the support!!

[@Killerpro-qh4cf]

Totally I am going to pick one up myself along with the Fifine AM8 based off your videos for my desktop setup. Also just wanted to say thank you for these awesome reviews and videos!

[@BacktotheRetroReview]

I have a bm88 and I love it.

[@Percy_______]

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

[@DaveSoltura]

Try the Maono DGM20!

[@Percy_______]

@@DaveSoltura Okay thank you very much Dave

[@GoMode2.0]

i remember i once got this arm, it looks and feels great, but there was two problems, one, it didnt have an extender, which i dont need but it could come with it, and when i tried to get it to hold my pd400x or my shure sm7b, i tightened it and it broke, the tightener broke, but besides those, it was a great arm, but in my opinion, cmteck has the best budget low profile arm, it comes with an extender, easy to tighten , a very sturdy clamp, and even though it cant hide the cabled, it has great cable ties, and its amazing for 35 bucks, and i use it with my fifine k688, works great

[@DaveSoltura]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@GoMode2.0]

@@DaveSoltura no problem, by the way youre the one who got me into audio, i would ALWAYS go to you for any mic review, or interface review, and i watch your videos eve if its not mics i have, because i love your reviews

[@DaveSoltura]

@@GoMode2.0 Thank you. That means a lot! I hope to keep making videos worth your time.😀

[@GoMode2.0]

@@DaveSoltura I could never imagine a universe where I wouldn’t sit down and enjoy your videos all the time, thanks for being such an awesome KZbinr!

[@bas5984]

interesting, I cant find a single video about the cmteck stands, which one did you get? and how is it doing ? wanted to get the 15€ fifine arm but I think I upgrade and get the am8 with a 50€ arm.

[@LudwiQ6]

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?

[@DaveSoltura]

Found that funny, too!😄 No, it doesn't come with software.

[@hands9746]

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

[@DaveSoltura]

If it’s just for general use, try the Maono DGM20: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWiwe4OqaqycbNE

WAAIT WHAAAAT UR only 25K Subscribers OMG BRO I felt like ur 500k at leaaast

@@7basel Thank you!!

[@justyuriforever]

40:00 Really? Cause mine could even hold an King Bee 2 with Shockmount, which I think weighs more than twice as much xD

[@hm1uu]

Can I put it on HyperX QuadCast S ؟؟ please Answer fast

[@Pordiboi]

can you review samson q2u?

[@simondpeterfernandez3103]

Does this bm88 handle the weight for the PD400x?

[@DaveSoltura]

Yes, and more!

[@simondpeterfernandez3103]

@@DaveSoltura Thank you for the reply! do u have any recommendations for the audio interface? Fifine SC1, SC3 or maono Neo, or just use straight the USB type C.

[@DaveSoltura]

@@simondpeterfernandez3103 for content creation, USB is fine. Vocaster 1 or 2 would be an upgrade, but not by much.

[@simondpeterfernandez3103]

@@DaveSoltura thx brother!

[@vitoamalfitano2157]

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

[@DaveSoltura]

Yes it will! I’ve used the BM88 on my PM1.

[@screamfingers]

5:55 one might even say it's.... fifine 😎

[@DaveSoltura]

Missed that opportunity.😂 Thanks!😎

[@screamfingers]

@@DaveSoltura Maybe next time when you review the 2023 k688. Looking forward to that!

[@Jayxe]

I cannot get over the fact you are saying fine fine, when it's just fi fine

[@DaveSoltura]

It’s the official pronunciation they provided. :)

[@Jayxe]

@@DaveSoltura are you serious? Dang I don't know if I can get on board with that lol. Oh well, thanks for the correction.

[@elijahignacio]

I like fifine

[@Kuroxshi]

i currently have a shure MV7+ and i want to know what arm is a good fit for it. I also want to see you review the MV7+ as well, I hope you do! Amazing content as usual.

[@DaveSoltura]

The BM88 can handle the MV7+ for sure. :) Shure doesn't seem to be interested in collaborating yet, and the channel's not monetized enough for a mic like that... but here's hoping in the future!😀

[@justyuriforever]

May I ask why you bought the + and not the x?

[@Kuroxshi]

@@justyuriforever It has upgraded windscreen over the classic MV7/MV7X, and a much better internal chipset. also, i got it through trading a phone to apple to get mine

[@mikejones-nd6ni]

I really don't like the look of the Tank

[@DaveSoltura]

Valid! It’s not for everyone.
