Tonor Q9 USB Microphone Kit Test / Review

Ғылым және технология

Today we’re looking at the budget usb microphone titled "TONOR USB Microphone Kit Q9 Condenser Computer Cardioid Mic for Podcast, Game, KZread Video, Stream, Recording Music, Voice Over”. This is a USB microphone that records 16-bit, 48kHz, lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack, has a high noise floor, and picks up a lot of background noise. If you just need something for conferences or chats, it’ll be fine, but I think there are FAR better options around the same price.

    Thanks for the info. I stream on Twitch and someone gifted this to me for the holiday. I can definitely understand where you’re coming from with all your critique. It’s been really rough trying to EQ it and make it sound as good as possible. Luckily there are streamers who are live to many more viewers than I that don’t sound as good and are using a more expensive mic. For the price it’s decent. Eventually I plan to upgrade since I didn’t have to invest in it in the first place. Great vid.

    Love the reviews and the laughs! For what it's worth, I bought this exact unit 14 months ago and started my KZread channel. I am now at over 37,000 subs so as bad as it may be compared to lots of others, if you're looking for a cheap option (I use *free* Audacity to clean up and compress the audio), this will certainly do the trick! Don't let the equipment be your excuse to not succeed!

    @Rechat I don't think I'd call it a better deal as it is an inferior product, but if all you need is decent sounding audio, the Q9 along with Audacity to clean things up a bit will get the job done. If you are looking for good quality audio or you want a nice warm or crystal clear sound, you won't get it with the Q9. It's just enough to get by but if you are on a budget, you can get away with it.

    I actually got this on a whim not long after they launched it, I got it for around $40 as an open-box item (free shipping). I think at that price point it's a much better argument. It's certainly not the best in the $50-100 tier but dropping a couple Jacksons to get a whole plug-and-play setup that sounds at the very least much better than a cruddy headset ain't too bad. That said I would definitely prefer to get an XLR setup sometime.

Hope this is a good combo, sounded like a cheap but more versatile (because of the UM2) option.

    I was thinking about that after I recorded, but I still think it would be nice to know you’ve pressed it. Perhaps a middle ground could have a light meter letting you know the gain you’re at. Otherwise you have no idea because you can’t even monitor it to see if you’ve increased or decreased or anything. Some way to know where you’re at gain wise or a way to know you’ve hit the button would be good.

    I get it!! This is the proverbial “lump of coal” reserved for those of us who have lived a less than honorable 2019. They will go like hotcakes!

    Just bought this mic, and trying to enhance the sound. All the videos I find are for PC, do you have any recommendation on apps that can tweak my sound to make it sound better? (remove noise, background sounds etc...) ?

    Can you use this with a wireless headset?

    The 'BOX OF DOOM' was some entertaining stuff but it was not a patch on the noise floor of that mic.. which was side splitting!

    Yeah. Really high noise floor. No bueno.
