how do i plug the xlr output into that though

wot

it has a normal headphone jack on the other end, xlr end goes into your mic

o ok

so with the 48v thing i have everything i need

yeah you need xlr to xlr

and then xlr to 3.5mm

ok

i'll order tonight

going for the somake meme or the power supply meme?

which one do you reccommend

hey

I don't know if combining the two would be better, probably would

I really like my chink 48v phantom power supply tbh

if you hear me on voice chat I'm always usingit

i might just do the 48v meme

like if money isn't an issue a presonus or focusrite is the best possible way but it sounds like you're not planning to use the mic for anything other than gaming

I just hate having multiple boxes lying around

sparks muh autism

it will be for skype and discord

then phantom power supply is fine

just think of it as a mains adapter for your mic

so i don't need it to be amazing

ok makes sense

and I think i have an extra xlr cable lying around

I should make another video on this kek

"what you need to use the bm800"

because i was hella confused beforeyou told me

tbh it's what my analytics say is the most popular subject

out of all my videos

I think a lot of people are confused

and no one is WRONG using a somake, I just think if you have the money there's no reason to not use the full capability of the mic

it's like underclocking your PC parts or something

i would have just bought it and plugged it into the front mic port on my pc and then gotten pissed that it didn't work

I'll start plotting another video

SOMAKE KILLA

just like go through the different parts of your setup and explain why you need every part

Well

Underclocking is exaggerating, I think

It's uh...

Getting a K CPU without overclocking

Cause you don't wanna put more money into the PSU

Well, the Somake goes for <1$, while a proper interface that can run a BM800/700 at its full potential can easily cost more than the mic itself

I just realised I am going to be busy all day and now I have the overwhelming urge to die

My phantom power thing was £12, bm was £11

Altogether that's not too bad

Cheaper than a blue snowball

Or antlion

less convenient tho

looks cooler but it takes up more space

Not really, I just swing my mic stand away when I'm not talking

yo memers

I'm prob going to move phantom power supply away from my desk

Put it on the floor maybe

Treat it as a mains brick

it's gonna be hard for me to find a spot for mine

because i have 2 desks

and i'd usually put it on the side but that's not an option

As long as your XLR cables are long enough it can be put anywhere really

i suppose

My next step is buying a nice used amp

point out where i should put if you don't mind

like im literally stumped

got this today

Just keep it on the floor out of sight

It's a tiny boz

i mean the mic itself

Box*

Oh, attach it to the desk

With a stand

Maybe behind your monitors

Mine is to the right of me

anbd a bunch of rechargeble batteries

always having AA/AAA batteries now

finally

I think behind the monitors would be best

Tidier

yeah that's not a bad idea

then have it sort of hidden behind them when it's not in use

Yeah, mic upside down and pop filter towards you

Snake the xlr through the stand and out the bottom to hide it

They all have a grate to slip the cable through

how long should that stuff take to come tho?

like im getting sick of ali's 420 business weeks

I got mine off ebay and it came in 2 days

So no idea

dang

2 weeks maybe

i mean i am accross the world from you so

I ordered my mouse mat from gb on the 31st of May

Got to me on Saturday

So 11 days

"seller's shipping method" is just some dude who's going on a business trip so they make him take the packages with him

Usually just means they eyeball your country and choose the cheapest one
