    Man it it really hard to complain about something that works pretty decently for $8. If someone was on a REALLY tight budget and already had a mic and needed a solution like this... and was willing to accept at the audio coloration issues... It might just resolve their issue and on the low down cheap. The more I go down the audio rabbit hole the more I learn that as long as the sound is decent most of the people watching/listening will not notice or care. And it is so easy to get decent without having to spend a fortune these days. Just saying. Thanks for sharing a possible affordable solution Bark.

    Your name came up talking about building a dynamic mic on a recycled body on the other Discord when I saw this video. Wild coincidence man.

  • @ScottGrammer
    @ScottGrammer 2 месяца назад +1

    I heard the difference instantly. Sounds like it might have a really low input impedance. Like it's loading the mic element down, and that's dampening the low end. The noises might be cheap capacitors.

      Yup! From a fully dialed mic volume to around 9/10 o'clock on the Teyun Q12. I still have so much headroom as software volume on MS Teams/Webex hovers around 30-40% as it auto adjusts.

  • @am74343
    @am74343 Месяц назад

    Wait... Why would it need Phantom Power if it's being used for a dynamic microphone? I'm not understanding. Plus, can it be used *without* Phantom Power? If you use this on a ribbon microphone, the Phantom Power would damage it. So something isn't making sense here.

    • @fluphybunny930
      @fluphybunny930 Месяц назад +1

      The Teyun Q-2 requires phantom power, the microphone that you plug into it does not receive phantom power.
      Most recent Audio Interfaces won't need this as they will provide enough gain.
      Some older/cheaper interfaces may benefit but you are not buying top end pre's for $8 (and nor should you expect them!)

    • @ObscureMics
      @ObscureMics  Месяц назад +1

      As stated above...it requires phantom power, but the power is used to power the activator, and does not pass to the microphone

    To me, it lost the bottom and mid-bottom end when you plugged in. But hey, 8 bucks... another starving artist/student option.
