Choose it if…

  • You want a direct USB computer input without a separate audio interface.
  • You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
  • You can match your stand or arm to 3/8-inch thread · 5/8-inch thread.

Before choosing this model

  • In XLR mode the mute button, gain, headphone jack and lighting stop working; the interface does that job.
  • FIFINE says it does not work on Xbox: Xbox consoles do not accept third-party USB audio devices.
  • No XLR cable in the basic AM8 box; buy one only if you plan to use an interface.
  • USB and XLR have different controls. Select the connection in the checker; do not assume USB mute or DSP reaches the XLR output.
  • Check the stand, thread and desk position before ordering a mount. Include attached shock mounts and adapters in the total weight. Arms rated for this mic →
  • Complete the setup with XLR cable and an audio interface or mixer, only if you use XLR.
