What are your thoughts on XLR vs USB mics and does this change your opinion at all?

XLR for Studios since you can hook it up to great amplifiers, etc. but pricey. All the way USB for Home or Content Creation, just as simple as that :)

I've been using a Shure MV7 for a while now. I originally used the XLR output, but the USB output is good enough that I really just don't see a need to have my interface hooked up at all anymore. With this mic being only $20-30 more expensive, though, I think I'd have a hard time recommending the MV7 to content creators anymore (even though I still think it's really good and underrated).

XLR + Interface for professional productions where sound quality is among the top priority: music, voice over, audiobooks, any sort of serial shows, etc. USB for anything where the quality of sound doesn't matter quite as much as the content--KZbin, streaming, podcasting, etc. OR if you need to travel. Honestly, the biggest advantage to XLR over USB is the sheer amount of XLR mics there are, and how high the quality ceiling is. But there are definitely high-end USB mics (like those from Apogee, or even the Blue Yeti Pro) that can give production-level sound quality.

Before I thought that XLR mics are a more premium version of usb mics that are not needed unless you have the money for it and could use the extra features(does that make sense?). However this is completely different coming in at $280 as it has a full blown software and a very good dynamic mic with amazing features that are not useless or limited to only a few people. This is where all mics should probably be heading in my opinion as it is a very good idea, especially the software. Oh and maybe a lower price tag to make it more attractive.

I've been working with and studying microphones on the side for about 9 years now, ever since I made my first YT channel and began my search for the best quality, WITHIN reason. i.e. price range, the build of the microphone, what it comes with, etc. This is literally the only time a USB mic has actually made me outright envious. It costs more than my favorite budget XLR, with everything you need to make it shine already built in. I'm THOROUGHLY impressed.

As someone who’s gotten my Blue Yeti super dialed in, I’ve still been considering an upgrade, and the Shure SM7B was the obvious choice. Now however, I’m 100% going Beacn. I take pride in my sound quality, and the step above my Yeti would totally be worth the money. Offloading all of the processing from my rigs and the flexibility the software provides are both features that can’t be overlooked, and realistically I can always sell my Yeti to offset the upgrade cost.

Considering that you can apply so many VSTs of your own choosing through the Wavelink software I'm personally not really sure I think this thing beats it. Of course, the processing in this mic is waayy easier to use than adding professional plugins of your own trough wavelink, and of course it sounds way different than the Wave 3, since it's this dry and warm dynamic and all ... But just consider that for the price of this you can get the Wave XLR interface and pair that with a very decent analogue dynamic of your choosing that looks and sounds the way you want! And then still have all the features and freedom of that Wavelink software you already know. About not using it for more than streaming ... I'm confused .. does you Wave3 mic not work for other applications? :o

I like what Beacn is doing with USB mics and hardware to pair with it (love the mix create), but as a beginner streamer if I was to ever upgrade from my current cheap USB mic I would probably still go with a paring of the XLR Rode Pod Mic and Elgato Wave XLR. I would still get to use software to control my audio and using the stream deck is something I am already used to using. The Beacn products are also super expensive where I live (Canada). To get both the Mix Create and the Beacn Mic would cost $619 before tax and shipping. On the other hand the Rode XLR Mic and Wave XLR would only cost me $338 before tax and shipping. I can get better sound quality and the control I need for half the price in my situation, but I really do love the way the Mix Create works and is designed. Great and informative video as always Harris and team, excited to see more innovative things made for audio and content creation. Also the office is really coming together!

I've wondered why it's taken so long for a smaller company to rip off that design better, considering how iconic that mic has become through more recent years. (That type of mic wasn't extremely used to be on camera a lot before live streaming) There's plenty of cheaper mics with similar designs to the sm7b that scream "I am an alternatiiiive" but no one has made one that looks 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 close before. Or am I wrong? Shure's other iconic Unidyne dynamic mic designs (literally emojis) have been extreeemely closely ripped of many times over. I'm thinking of the SM58, 57 and the SH55 for example, where it often comes down to half a millimeter between them and the cheaper competition. So I don't think Shure would sue anyone for something that resembles the SM7 too much, just based on that. But again, could be wrong.

As someone who has also studied audio for a while now, really impressed with the mic. Personally, I would rather have and XLR given my setup. BUT, considering the proprietary software and everything this thing has to offer, if you are streaming this is well worth it. I would argue, the software and plugins all but remove the need for an interface which saves you a lot of money. It's tempting to buy one just to give it a shot. I also imagine a more budget friendly one is already in the works. Maybe wont have a fancy RBG light on it 😜 Great video, cant wait for the review!

I have a Mackie ProLine FX 2 channel mixer with fx loop, a rode podmic, a mugami xlr cable, and a cloud lifter... thats a pretty good general setup and while my microphone was only 100 bucks everything together was well over 300.... so for this mic to have these features and sound quality in an all-in-one package for 280? Thats a steal. If youre budget doesn't support that its fine, you can get decent sound out of a 20 dollar mic, but for things like voice overs or acting, music studio recording, etc... the is closer to entry level pricing than one might expect while also being hugely compact and feature loaded... not to mention great sound. 👍

The problem compared the the sm7b is that this mic has a processor and stuff built into it, so if in a few years time they release a new mic with a better processor and more features then people will want to upgrade. So this could never be someone’s forever mic. If you buy it you have to understand that eventually it will become outdated like all digital products. Whereas an analogue mic like the 7B will always stay the same (ignoring damage and defects) the beacn mic will eventually become incompatible with windows as the developers cant afford to keep making new versions of the software. That isn’t a problem if you’re willing to pay that price for an excellent mic for the next 10 years but if you want to buy a mic and have it last the rest of your life you have to go XLR

This is a really good point especially with microphones. Microphone technology has not changed much over the last 40 years. A Sennheiser MKH-416 is a design from the early 70ies and it is still sold *new* for 900-1000 Euros today, and it's still a great mic for the price. If you have one that is 30 years old and already has 48V phantom power (the only thing that changed from the first models which had a 12V system), there is absolutely no reason to replace it.

No. Not significantly, no. The game launchers you have running probably take up more. It depends on the plugin though, If you have something like Soothe or RX 8 or a real clever AI plugin running it eats up quite a lot, at least compared to just EQ and compressor. The stuff this mic comes with wont... except for maaybe the noise suppression, which is above average in complexity I guess. But just consider the fact that it can't really draw more than what ... 4-5 watts through the USB port it's powered by? So there's a hard limit to how demanding the processing in this mic can be. It is still a cool selling point though. At least it's kinda cool to me to see that someone did it, since I actually thought of this exact thing the other day ... "a USB mic with on board processing ... hmmm ... nah that would probably just be too damn expensive to really make sense" (LOL) " And it wont beat the freedom of wavelink software"

Depends on the processing. For basic compression and EQ, no. You won't notice it. There's some pretty beefy noise reduction going on here, though, so that might get in the way of even a midrange PC. There's more benefits to dedicated DSP than just performance, though. Latency should be improved with a dedicated dsp chip, and it should be a lot more reliable. no software crashes, which would be bad.

If the software supported inputs like Wavelink software I would consider changing. With plugin support in Wavelink now the price difference isn't worth it until they support adding a mixer for different inputs.

Not sure if GOXLR has made changes since the units you were using were made, but the GOXLR and mini have more than enough power for high impedance headphones like the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms. I use them currently on my GOXLR, and previously on the mini. I don't have them turned all the way up either. I stream and game with volumes at 75% or less cause they'll get too loud if set higher.

I wish I could award comments on KZbin like you can on Reddit to get them on top! :D I think the features of the setup you mention beats this. It's harder to use though, having to download and setup you own VSTs. But it gives more freedom, which I would personally trade for the built in DSP of this mic, the benefits of which I think are negligible in the end for most people.

First off, I really tile this approach, I am currently struggling with recording games, my mic and discord at the same time, either my voice is a robot on discord or the recording sounds like shit. This microphone would eliminate my issues by providing a clean signal that doesn't need massive processing afterwards. I am sold. About stream beats, I did receive a claim while having used streambeats, I refuted the claim for it being copyright free but will be waiting another 16 days for a response probably. It was: LatinAutor, LatinAutorPerf that "claimed" the outro of my video on behalf of the song Akita Inu.
