Got an older picture. Taken when it was dark out, and with my shitty old phone. Excuse the darkness and lack of quality.

When angled that way, I would just pull it down so the mic was at about forehead height.

2016-08-12 21:51:59 UTC  

Meme'ing aside, aren't the condenser mics severely overkill for 99% of people, when cheap, good lapel mics exists?

2016-08-12 21:52:37 UTC  

The mic on my headset is perfectly adequate.

2016-08-12 21:53:13 UTC  

Lapel mics are very susceptible to cable noise and whatnot

2016-08-12 21:53:22 UTC  

And vibration

2016-08-12 21:53:29 UTC  

"Hey OP, just wanted to say you're doing a great job, the news is just like before. One thing tho, I feel like you're a bit more shilly than the previous OP.
Think you'd better drop the discord and chinkshit links before they get abused again and we get another thread drama.

Cheers!"

2016-08-12 21:54:31 UTC  

Lol what?

2016-08-12 21:55:03 UTC  

Some shitstirrer in the thread

2016-08-12 21:55:33 UTC  

Huh.. can`t tell if troll or retard.

2016-08-12 21:56:30 UTC  

@Aerione Right, yes, of course, they aren't as good as condenser mics, no doubt about that. But I don't believe that condenser mics are worth the effort, money and space it takes, since it's really overkill for most people.

2016-08-12 21:56:59 UTC  

Well, 23 bucks isn't much

2016-08-12 21:57:02 UTC  

Dude, if you saw how much pne of those used to cost

2016-08-12 21:57:04 UTC  

But I guess

2016-08-12 21:57:57 UTC  

Closer to 40-50 with the mic, stand, and phantom PSU

2016-08-12 21:58:09 UTC  

But that`s still really cheap for the quality you get.

2016-08-12 21:58:28 UTC  

If you get an arm, I suppose you could get a desktop tripod and save 10-15$ there.

2016-08-12 21:58:43 UTC  

Nah

2016-08-12 21:58:47 UTC  

Mic + stand is 23 bucks

2016-08-12 21:58:59 UTC  

And that used to be Studio shit ten years ago

2016-08-12 21:59:04 UTC  

Still need phantom power.

2016-08-12 21:59:09 UTC  

You can get away very cheaply if you've got an external sound card

2016-08-12 21:59:47 UTC  

What, the Somake? It was established it was pretty bad

2016-08-12 21:59:51 UTC  

Nah

2016-08-12 22:00:02 UTC  

The Somake is pretty bad indeed

2016-08-12 22:00:40 UTC  

I bought one just to try it out, and it was far worse than the shitty USB audio soundcard I got years ago

2016-08-12 22:00:49 UTC  

Lmao, "Oddly Jameson bottle shaped vr box arrives"

2016-08-12 22:01:48 UTC  

@tablecat And oh, I was referring to discrete sound cards

2016-08-12 22:02:00 UTC  

Didn't realize I typed "external"

2016-08-12 22:02:45 UTC  

My SB Audigy Live is actually pretty capable of driving the mic, although I still prefer the phantom power

2016-08-12 22:02:53 UTC  

Oh, discrete sound card.
I'm actually using one. A Xonar DG.
Do the really provide adequate power?

2016-08-12 22:03:13 UTC  

Well, they provide 3 times the volts of an USB card

2016-08-12 22:03:22 UTC  

Which iirc are capped at 5V

2016-08-12 22:03:25 UTC  

I want the best quality but something inconspicuous

2016-08-12 22:04:01 UTC  

Awefully picky for a buyer of chink shit

2016-08-12 22:05:20 UTC  

But a discrete sound card will provide as much power as the jackstick in the motherboard, right?

2016-08-12 22:06:07 UTC  

Presumably it would spply more power.

2016-08-12 22:06:19 UTC  

If it`s actually better than what your onboard audio has

2016-08-12 22:06:30 UTC  

true ill just buy the bm800

2016-08-12 22:07:05 UTC  

Nothing but the finest Chinese quasi slave manufacture for the gentleman
