The Ultimate USB Microphone

[@Senpai]

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

[@MichaelNROH]

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 :)

[@nickglover]

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).

[@CreepyBlackDude]

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.

[@MichealColhoun]

The real value of this mic will be in future updates to the software.

[@icedoutgames4051]

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.

[@BrknLaw]

Seriously want the Beacn mic to be my next microphone. It sounds so good and it cuts out the need for an audio interface!

[@cloosat]

[@Nhmusicoffish]

But usbs tend to break easier and wear out faster. Having an interface and actual mic is better

[@HopperNation]

@@Nhmusicoffish do they though? I have never had a physical usb connection break or wear out significantly. And most people aren't going to be unlpugging and plugging in their mics all the time. But if you want an interface and more cables and mess, then sure.

[@johndy5556]

@@Nhmusicoffish USBs breaking/wearing out solely is dependant on the way the user uses the product.

[@DJSkandalous]

Man, I already have the shure sm7b and a rodecaster pro mixer. But this microphone sounds fantastic for the price, both with EQ and without. And it looks good! The software also makes it well worth the price.

[@morbid.curiosity]

Exact same combination I have. The fact that if you're limited on desk space, this would give some of that back to you, is a huge attraction for me. Might sell off my sm7b and mixer and get one of these if the sound is so comparable.

[@allenm7]

The shure sounds better. Beacn sounds over processed.

[@HearthstoneMontage]

-How much should this microphone look like a Shure SM7B? -Yes.

[@jensharald9091]

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.

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.

NGL I might pick this up sometime mid/late 2022... I've been looking for an upgraded mic. And the elgato wave 3 is fire, but... I want to do more than just streaming with it. Thanks for showing this mic off.

[@jensharald9091]

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

[@Zetsuubou]

I honestly kind of wish something like this had existed at the start of me getting into streaming. After ~2 years and fighting with equipment I've got a decent setup, but this looks a lot more straightforward / newbie friendly than having to pretty much learn all the technical aspects.

[@MichealColhoun]

Great Review. The Beacn guys are going to love you.

[@anarchyaelle]

Removing the need and cost for an interface is a plus. I need to switch between two PCs for works and having everything in the mic will hopefully remove the need for additional software on the work PC (which cant have any additional software and drivers installed) Also, BEACN is canadian and built in Canada.

[@MeticulousTechTV]

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.

This mic is gonna be a game changer

[@jensharald9091]

I think the most popular option it's really properly going to beat is the MV7 which also comes with intuitive processing. But it's also a liiiittle bit more pricey than that. It kicks its ass though. Speaking of the MV7, this ironically looks closer to an SM7b than Shure's own SM7b alternative, haha!

[@whatskraken3886]

idk about game changer but it's definitely a very well thought out and produced product

[@YourDriverMike]

Love my SM7B but that is some rich audio for the money for anyone looking for a slightly cheaper alternative

[@whatskraken3886]

Eh, not really. It doesn't really sound that impressive. It sounds great, yeah, but for streaming purposes pretty much literally anything is good enough. Even the difference between a $500 microphone and a $5000 microphone will be limited. It just kind of is how it is with these kinds of things.

[@upstairstudio371]

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!

[@JadeNeoma]

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

[@highks496]

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.

[@mm-rw3hi]

this +1, the aspect of longevity and repairability is too easiely overseen these days

[@TradesWithWill]

this is just a mute point, unless you are trying to keep the same $200 mic for like 10 years you will probably never run into longevity issues, the software comes with the mic even if the company died the software would still be useable for the people who had it. and you can say the same upgrading take about literally anything

[@highks496]

​@@TradesWithWill The same thing about upgrading is not true for XLR microphones. A high quality XLR mic will be 100% perfect in 30-40 years. You can literally hand it down to your grandkids. Ten years is nothing for a microphone.

I thought I had found my perfect microphone when Elgato released the Wave. It was affordable, it had excellent software for controlling audio levels, and overall great quality. The only thing that I was disappointed about was that it was a condenser mic because I prefer the general sound of a dynamic mic. Now, Beacn comes out with this. It is a little pricey but it sounds amazing, the features included in the software look incredible. and it is Dynamic! However, I don't really need all of that. I barely adjust my levels anymore and my current Wave 3 works just fine. I don't really need this mic, but damn does it look and sound sexy. So, while I definitely do not need it, I really really want it. My wallet is crying.

[@johnb0815]

one of your points is that the effects and stuff are all done on the chip in the mic and it doesn't take performance from your PC. Is audio processing really so demanding that it slows down modern CPUs significantly?

[@whenelvescry2625]

If you're doing it in real time while also playing a game, streaming, and maybe using discord, absolutely

[@jensharald9091]

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"

[@PeterTodd]

If you are running de-noise or de-reverb processing real-time, that's a big hit on CPU, but the worst trade off is latency - on boarding those processes should kill that problem.

[@whatskraken3886]

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.

[@wonderbubble3980]

"The uphill battle that BEACN's going to be fighting is how many streamers really want a premium microphone, and how many streamers are just fine with an affordable microphone that pics up their voice." I see nothing but constant simping and searching from streamers over better audio, specifically - as you compared - the SM7B. The two largest barriers I see to that, however, are the price and learning curve. The SM7B is a $400 mic that often needs a $150 cloudlifter and then at least a $100 interface plus another $20-60+ for an XLR cable. So you're looking at a ~$700 audio setup...that you then have to spend hours learning about setting up properly. In comparison, the BEACN is $280, halves your need for cables, and is borderline plug-n'-play. I think the primary fight that BEACN is going to have is just getting their name and image out there as a quality option, because they're otherwise currently unknown. But from what I'm seeing so far, off the merits and prices of their own products, I don't think there's any battle to be had. The only other option they might have to fight over is the Elgato Wave:3, but this is looking to outclass even that without the need to step to XLR.

[@whatskraken3886]

As someone's who's studied audio to great lengths, I can totally understand how the way they laid out the plugins would be great for beginners, but as an advanced user myself, being familiar with traditional plugin interfaces, I have literally no idea what I'm looking at with any of it. It lowers the learning curve for new users, but it also means there _is_ a learning curve for people who would otherwise already know what they're doing. I also think it just kind of looks like another SM7b but with an RGB ring. Not a bad look, but given how overused the sm7b is already, I'd like to see a bit more creativity from a clearly very innovative microphone. I'd also like to see an XLR version of it. Maybe with a usb port still for digital control, but analog outputs have some advantages (dedicated preamps, outboard gear, choice of audio interface, etc) edit: also for someone who studied audio in university i frequently see Harris misusing terms and it kind of confuses me. a high impedance output doesn't mean a high power output, those are different things. output impedance, measured in Ohms (Ω) is a different specification than output power, usually for headphones measured in milliwatts (mW). edit again: seeing the pretty impressive technical specifications and the fact that it's voiced pretty differently from the sm7b made me happy though, as an audio engineer. No more sm7b streamers screaming and clipping the living shit out of their AD/DA converters. that's good for everyone. third edit (i know, sorry): Something I thought was kind of funny was seeing Harris position the beacn mic as a "premium" microphone. In the professional audio world, $280 is downright budget low-end, and that wouldn't include a preamp, ad/da converter, nor any of the software. it's not necessarily a bad thing because streamers obviously have very different audio needs than recording studios, and I think it would be a waste to make the actual mic hardware inside this thing any more premium than it is, but it's still funny.

[@WatchMysh]

Omg thanks for your comment & clarifications. May I ask a question? I was about to buy a Goxlr mini and a Rode Procaster. The beacn would cost exactly the same. Now I'm not sure which way to go. I want simplicity and comfort. My days of fiddling with audio settings until everything sounds perfect are over. I just want a convenient bundle to produce decent sounding podcasts, KZbin videos and do live webinars as comfortable as possible. So... what would you suggest? I'd really appreciate some input on that matter. Also did you watch the video(s) about the Beacn from EposVox? He sounds quite bad in both of them while the mic sounds really good to my ears in most other reviews. What's causing these immensely different outcomes?

[@whatskraken3886]

@@WatchMysh I'd go beacn. You're going to get similarly powerful software control, with better audio quality. The beacn really does sound great for its price. I took a look at EposVox's video, and he's way too far away from the mic. I'm not sure why he's so far away, but that's what's causing the lackluster sound. You really need to get on top of dynamic mics to utilize the proximity effect and make them sound good.

Beacn studied a lot of Harris Videos. Seemed they built the mic based on your Videos 😂😂😂

[@ThinkTheory]

Damm nice. The mic sounds a little more airy out of the box but nothing EQ can’t fix

"Not everything you own and use needs to be premium" Oh yeah Harris? Tell that to my BRAIN. I've been trying to tell my brain that for years. New hobby??? PREMIUM EQUIPMENT. Play around with it for a week or two... have it collect dust forever. I have problems.

Doggy needs a video. Please don't cut them out next time!! I want to see!

[@WannaDJ]

Looks like SM7B.

[@chopgun1591]
