Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Elgato WaveXLR. This thing essentially turns any XLR mic into a Wave3. This has 75dB of gain for your microphone (so yes it can drive the Shure SM7b), it has a digital mixer to mix multiple digital sound sources, and also has a clipboard feature to ensure you don’t distort your analog to digital converters. Regarding the A/D converters it is 24-bit 48/96kHz, which is great.

WARNING: I no longer recommend using a USB soundcard to connect a microphone to your computer. It has become too unreliable due to manufacturers altering the components used in their products as well as alterations to operating systems causing additional problems. The only method of connecting a microphone to your computer that I recommend is with a USB AUDIO INTERFACE that is designed specifically for that use case.

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Audient ID14 MKII. This is a USB-C bus powered audio interface which is expandable to 10 inputs via ADAT/SPDIF, with 2 amazing internal preamps and a great sounding instrument input. MKII improves the A/D conversion dynamic range by 5dB, and D/A conversions dynamic range by 9dB. The headphone is capable of driving even the HD650’s cleanly and it records up to 24-bit 96kHz.

Today I compare 8 dynamic usb microphones to determine which one is best. The microphones in the shoot out are: Samson Q2u, Knox Dynamic USB, Audio Technica ATR2100USB, Audio Technica AT2005USB, Neewer NW-3500 USB, Pyle PDMICUSB6, Lyxpro HHMU-10, and the Rode Podcaster.

01:59 - Background Noise Test
02:38 - Distance Test
03:11 - Electric Guitar Test
03:56 - Acoustic Guitar Test
04:43 - Singing Test
05:31 - Top 3 Comparison
05:57 - Results
07:00 - Outro
Ranking (Most likely to use to Least likely to use)
1. Samson Q2u
2. Audio Technica ATR2100USB
3. Audio Technical AT2005USB
4. Knox Dynamic USB Mic
5. Rode Podcaster
6. Lyx Pro HHMU-10
7. Neewer NW-3500USB
8. Pyle PDMICUSB6
I ranked the Rode Podcaster above the Lyx Pro, Neewer, and Pyle due to the line noise on the pyle and the low gain on Lyx Pro and Neewer, which would make those mics extremely difficult to use.
