This is the first 50 dollar mixer that doesn't sound like complete garbage I'm impressed fifine

Yeah they seem to have a budget answer for everything

Gotta love Fifine. Inexpensive gear with the features and quality 99% of creators actually need. The RGB stuff and soundpads don't matter to me but these are aimed at gamers so fair enough.

[@ObscureMics]

Right. Not a huge fan of the rgb and pads.... But I'm also not simply against them

My wife can only stomach cappuccino... All good lol

[@ScottGrammer]

Somebody's been to the barber! I no longer have to worry about that.... Not a bad sounding box for $50. I don't hear anything negative about it, other than what sounds like a touch of occasional clipping or harshness, which might have been the gain set a tad too high. At 4:39, you reduced the mic gain, and the clipping/harshness was reduced. It could have happened in post, I don't know.

You can hold the RGB button to turn it off btw if RGB isn't your thing. I bought and tested one through an through. Great little interface my fiance uses. I have my focusrite and EVO4 lol.

Glad I could help ! And yep on that video camera

[@roxzotruckingllc2617]

Thanks!!!

[@ismapierre]

Is this audio interface compared to the Xtuga Q12 in terms of preamp quality or for streaming and connecting the audio from an audio mixer to the interface worth it or better than the Xtuga?

[@ObscureMics]

Hard to argue with the q12 being the choice if you just want to record a mic or two...its the extra ins and outs on this that make it an intriguing choice...well, and the build quality is fantastic for being plastic. So it really depends on the use case. If you want to add audio in and record out to another device, this one makes it so easy to do AND adjust all the levels.

[@dalebishop2632]

Fifine keeps stepping up their game

[@levelupwithmikenewman]

Yes they do! I recently received the Maonocaster E2 audio mixer and it is twice the price and headphone monitoring is tough. FiFine is killing it with this mixer and their budget mics like the K669D. Just an absolute gem of a mic!

[@ObscureMics]

Uh oh.... I also got the Maono e2.... Sounds like it won't compete

[@levelupwithmikenewman]

@@ObscureMics when you get to test it out, let me know what you think of the headphone monitoring. I doesn’t show up in my audio recordings, just in my headphones. Going to have to power though it in my for my review of it next week.

[@eastcoastvisualmedia]

great review as always ~ thanks for the info - I'm in the market for some cheap toys for streaming and this was on my list to consider.

[@ObscureMics]

Its definitely worth being in the budget conversation...I like the idea of tossing this in a bag to use on the go with my phone

[@RanksJ93]

Thanks for the review, brought this mixer based off this video. I’m just wondering how I can connect it up to a Mac and PC at the same time. Using one XLR microphone. I’ve got a Shure MX7 btw, I’m pretty sure it’s possible without having to change wires every time.

[@ObscureMics]

Absolutely. Just simply run the line out into your line in on windows or Mac. 3.5mm trs to trrs

[@Helldog136]

Nice review, bought this device but my mic seems to be waaaay too low volume when using it. The funny thing is that if I use the 4 sample buttons, the volume is extra loud. Did you experience the same problem?

[@ObscureMics]

I did not, but I have spoken to others who have...which is VERY confusing to me.

[@CCSUGenBlackhawk]

Thanks! Just bought one off of your affiliate link.

[@charliemccharlieface]

@@ObscureMics But you can do that with TRS. Why the TRRS cord? Are the audio inputs both in and out like the Zoom Podtrak P4's single TRRS port?

@@ObscureMics I replied, wondering your thoughts, thank you!

[@canalabundantevidaintimida7391]

Nice but a big down for me is no reverb 😬😬

[@DGiyenko]

Hi. Could you help me figure out how this mixer works? I'm having a hard time understanding what goes where. So there's a MIC input (combined with a headset input), a LINE-IN and I guess theres the USB input with the gaming sounds from the PC. My question is: how are all these signals mixed and how are they then routed? Does the LINE-OUT signal contain the MIC sounds? If so, how do I connect my speakers to the LINE-OUT if I'll be hearing my MIC on the speakers? I understand that the HEADPHONE-OUT has a dedicated monitoring button that can include and exclude the MIC sounds from the mix. Does this button affect the LINE-OUT as well? The USB is used to power the device and send gaming sounds to the mixer. But does it also send sounds to the PC? If so, what exactly does it send? Does it include the MIC sound and the mixed LINE-IN and gaming? Or maybe it sends only the MIC? Is there maybe a diagram or an instruction manual for the device that explains what goes where? My use case: Use an AM8 microphone Separate my PC audio to discord and game sounds Send my output to headphones (all sounds without MIC), PC (only MIC for discord) and Spekers (all sounds without MIC) at different volumes...

[@ObscureMics]

Sadly....this is not quite for gaming as it suggests. I personally would not use it for anything other than using a mic, and wiring in a smart phone

[@MGNino23]

Will it work with the dt990 pros? Can you please take a look at them and tell me?

[@elwolfpr]

9 is good for the price and move the sm7b is a solid 9 wao

[@ObscureMics]

Indeed

[@tmanxult003]

I had to turn my volume settings (headphones, KZbin & the PC itself) to max to hear the static sufficiently, from 50% on the PC and roughly 60-80% on my headphones, where at that volume, I can still hear your voice slightly better than I could hear the mic amp noise at max volume... Idk if that takes away from anything. All I know is that I got jumpscared with hurting ears after hearing your voice at max settings... There's even less static after adding that pre-amp

[@ObscureMics]

Sorry to jumpscare you lol

[@Thortenman]

Hi, what cable do I need to connect my phone to the mixer to be able to monitor and send sounds from my microphone, for podcasting? In other words, to receive sound from the mobile to the mixer and send sound from the mixer to my mobile. Thank you very much for your video.

[@ObscureMics]

Trrs to trrs.....which is the aux cable with 3 black lines on each end

[@ObscureMics]

Thanks for watching

[@xOdarbiOx]

im new to XLR mics, getting one for xmas, (shure mv7) im looking for an interface and on a budget. im a twitch streamer and would love to control my mic, the game/pc sounds and music sounds via the faders. also connect it from a pc to a Mac, (duel set up via capture card) is this possible. the order of which things connect is what's confusing me. thanks for any info. great video!

[@ObscureMics]

Thank you! My take....if you are going XLR...don't get an mv7...overpriced ..doesn't sound great. If you STAY USB...get the rode xdm 100, as the software makes it easy to control all of those sounds. XLR, I'd grab an elgato wave XLR and a Fifine 669D...the mics great for $39...and the elgato wave XLR interface works with software that again...will make routing those sounds easy

[@kii_tsune]

i've been wanting one of these however Fifine says yes it does Reverb but none of these reviews have showed that off. So did they tell me wrong?

[@ObscureMics]

I dont recall any reverb

[@jasonp2906]

Can you use a UHF wireless mic with a 6.5mm receiver in the mic input like the Maono WM760?

[@ObscureMics]

Sure can!

[@the415giant]

The only differences between this FIFINE and the Daakro is that this one has auto tune electric sounds, 2 extra voice changers, whereas the cheap version has denoise, ducking, loop back, and reverb echo, yet they both have silly voice changers but you made fun of the “crappy” one but didn’t say a word about the FIFINE voices. 😂

[@ObscureMics]

You forgot the fact that this quit working without phantom power being on. Sadly it’s not worth $2 😂

[@the415giant]

@@ObscureMics it’s possible you got a defective device and should take advantage of amazon’s return policy.

[@DimebagDarrenLowe]

Would you send this in place of the CAD?

[@ObscureMics]

I have to say I would not. Despite the lower price...I do feel the CAD is cleaner, and the dynamic range is better. I definitely heard the dynamic range at work on this device as it was a LITTLE grading at times when hitting -10db....so this fifine, I would try to hit -18 and boost in post

[@strykerdragoon]

Overall, I like the mixer, but it doesn't push the fifine am8 very well at least mine dosen't.

[@ObscureMics]

Really? Thats a little odd

[@strykerdragoon]

@ObscureMics I agree I have to use it through USB. If I use it on the SC3 (which could partially be my crappy puter also) XLR I have to crank it and be almost on top of the mic for it to be loud enough. Rumors of some kind of firmware update for it, but I honestly have no idea.
