the chink one anyway

but yeah, the real cost is the phantom power but you can use the same phantom power as you upgrade to better condenser mics

so it's still useful

is there a difference in the quality of phantom power outputs?

yes but it wouldn't matter for Teamspeak or whatever you're doing

unless you're in pro audio i doubt it

^

and should i buy a pre-amp also?

all you need is phantom

no, I used just a basic phantom power for months and it was more than I needed

and people who say there's a huge sound difference with a Behringer UM2 always get BTFO when they can't tell the difference in sound tests

the advantage with having a sound interface is you can mess with it directly

it makes it useful say if you're youtube cancer/podcaster

adjust levels on the fly

but other than that, if you want the mic to be audible/good quality, phantom power is fine

some one on the thread told me to buy that yesterday

It's useful again for onboard control and mixing

and I don't doubt the preamps in there help a bit

but I doubt it's worth the price increase

most people buy BM-800 because it looks cool

also does the xlr cable quality affect the sound quality?

yes it does

yes you need diamond-platnum cables

monster brand only

triple shielding and tank armor

I've had a few over the years and not noticed much difference tbh

non-meme answer 😂 👌

as long as it is copper,you are fine

well i'm just going to use the one that comes with the mic

no that's not going to work

Silver>Copper>Gold>cheap metals

you need two cables, an XLR to XLR cable and an XLR to 3.5mm

the XLR to 3.5mm comes in the box

no on the listing theres an included cable

yeah an XLR to 3.5mm

that's the OUT cable

ah

you need a cable mic to phantom power

so xlr to xlr

yeah the mic connects to phantom power xlr to xlr then you use the included cable xlr to 3.5mm to to your PC mic slot
