Microphone for gaming?

Many streamers on Twitch have really good microphones, what would they be, for example? The ones on all my headsets are really bad, that's why I want a normal microphone now and all the streamers have such good ones and I want one like that. Should have a USB port

The micro can be built out of a mac-book, it has an impressively good quality, especially when it is no longer behind the cover in the housing but can interfere directly with the sound field.

Condenser microphones… The reasonably good ones start in the 80+ euro range

Then you still need pop protection and a microphone holder that can be swiveled

possibly also a deck

Br

I'm not buying a Macbook now, but I want a normal microphone that you can put up

Co

Just as an example:

a preamplifier is also required (so deck is almost inevitable)

that costs well and happily all together 200-300 euro if it should be something decent

Thank you

Think he meant a used device on Ebay e.g.

Gr

Yes a broken part, just the micro or something. Nothing with a working logix board. Cost around 50 - 70 euro and comes to a 250 euro senheiser ultrasound mic that you put on the table while streaming. Something like that, where it is always in the picture and has to be placed about 10 cm in front of the mouth with 3 arms, with the small difference that the small apple mini mics make a distance of 40 cm possible with good acoustics. But then you shouldn't sit in the corner of the room, but in the room with a carpet and a distance from the wall.

So I would recommend the Fox from Beyedynamic

Then tell me what you can spend? (You already know that cheap USB microphones have a terrible quality?

Br

I could pay up to 150 euro or so anyway, I don't know how much it costs on average

Sl

My recommendation, NO USB, these are almost always condenser mics that take every sound with them! Take a dynamic mic with an interface and an arm

Micro: AKG P3 or P5 like the AKG D5 - 30-35 - 60 euro

Interface: Behringer UMC22 40 euro (slight residual noise.) Steinberg UR22 100 euro noise-free

Headphones Superlux HD 681. At 25 euro Is extremely good for this price. My technician could use my expensive one. Better take the superlux

Articulated arm Tonor T20 for 35 euro (pop screen is included) + good Cordial-xlr cable 10 euro

Now you can put it together in a way that suits you in terms of price

What a hassle for a simple electret microphone - but the text reads somehow quite entertaining. Just stupid; that there's a risk that not everyone will immediately recognize this as a joke.
