TheCrestedPenguin Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hey i'm looking for a new microphone to buy, I'm look for good quality but rather not have it to expensive ( ~150Euro ) I was looking for a USB mic to so its not to much hassle for setting it up but i thought that a good quality USB is probably more expensive than the quality a XLR gives for the same price. So i'd do XLR mic's as well i just also need the thingy in between to make sure it works ( Got no fucking clue whats it called ) so yeah if you recommend a XLR Mic please also show me a decent priced in-between-thingy that works with it. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Link to comment

The thingy is called a USB Pre-Amp this is a decent quality lower cost one, I'd start here and look around! http://www.guitarcenter.com/Focusrite/Scarlett-Solo-2nd-Generation-USB-Audio-Interface-1500000010205.gc?cntry=us&source=4WWRWXGP&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgNrQBRC0ARIsAE-m-1zRDhVhkub59wapFHT8QXkmfZSO4E0ADq1muclKvN9k_Wz5OQnmB8oaAgwpEALw_wcB&kwid=productads-adid^57619015002-device^c-plaid^140858361861-sku^1500000010205@ADL4GC-adType^PLA Edited November 23, 2017 by Professor Pericles Link to comment

It'll do fine! It's Like the "kia" compared to a Lexus. Both cars drive, one is just more reliable (behringer is known to be a cheaper brand that just doesn't last well). Edit. If you're a budding soundcloud rapper go for the focusrite. WAY cleaner in recording. If you are just streaming etc, the Behringer is perfect Edited November 23, 2017 by Professor Pericles Link to comment

Jake Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 @TheCrestedPenguin I highly suggest getting a blue yeti, not too expensive but very good quality, simple USB plug in and you are good to go. https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Yeti-USB-Microphone-Blackout/dp/B00N1YPXW2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511464247&sr=8-3&keywords=blue+yeti' I see suggestions for the Astros... While I do have an Astro A50 headset, I merely use it for the audio, the mic on it is absolutely shit Link to comment
