Ойын-сауық
Let's try this double Fifine K688 Podcast Setup, using the Teyun Q12 interface, in a real world scenario. We'll review it with my good friend @zackbulatao (Urban Manong Photography on Facebook). It's a great Fifine USB microphone with XLR compatibility.

Do you think you can share your obs filter settings? I just got my teyun q12 and am looking to use your setup. Thanks man.
Damn, this is so fine. Maybe you can compare the K688 with some budget mics like behringer XM8500 or even Elgato mics.

You're not the first to mention the XM8500, Husain! I had one before but there was something about it that was a dealbreaker for me... still, it did sound very full, at that price! I'll look into these possibilities. :)
I hope i get that one day

Can the Q12 power two SM7B?
Sadly when used with USB Fifine mics are super quiet with my PC. I tried K688 and AM8.

how did you separate two tracks with this interface? because this is my first audio interface and it only records one track and can't separate them.

it sounds like an all around mic to me, but you did mention the buzzing which maybe a deal breaker, I honestly think a comparison between this and the xm8500 would be very good.

@@scoremoore4280 Thanks for the comment! :) The buzzing is only when using the included USB-C cable (gotta use a 3.0 cable) or when using the Teyun, which creates the buzz. On usb 3.0 and with other audio interfaces, the K688 is a very clean-sounding mic! :)

It is a great mic on its price range! Btw, have you ever tried to pair the K688 with a Behringer UM2? If so, did it sound any better? (Or at least did it buzz as well?) I am considering to take the better one between these two soundcard products. Anyway, great video as always, Dave!

@@arthurkelley That was my experience as well. I bought two copies just like the person you’re referring to. The issue isn’t with the broken preamp, but it’s with an incompatible cable included in the box. You’ll need a high speed USB C to USB C cable. I can’t recommend any particular cables as I just re-use the one that came with my ipad.

Hi there! Have you tried selecting the Teyun Q12 in audacity as a Recording Device? I’m not sure if it would selectable as Teyun Q12. You can just do trial and error and pick devices and try recording with them until you hear your xbox sound. Here’s how to change your recording device: manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_selecting_your_recording_device.html

@@ommii The closest experience I can share is when my wife wanted to run her audio from her interface into her audio software (Ableton), and use it on Zoom. To make this work, she needed a plug-in (though she can’t remember which). There should be free and paid plugins to accomplish this. I hope we could’ve been of more help, but that’s the extent of our knowledge on this. Really hoping you can get it to work!

@@HaNaDou1009 The Teyun Q12 can only do either 2 dynamics, and 2 condensers, not 1 of each. This is because there is only 1 phantom power switch. Condensers require phantom power. Dynamics do not, and it is best practice not to supply them with phantom power. Given you can only have phantom power on or off for both, you can’t use one of each. It takes an interface that has individual phantom power buttons per xlr port to do that. One that I know is the Motu M2, but it’s on the pricey side.
