Micro + mixer?

I will get a micro + mixer shortly. Just want to stream it on Twitch and record a video.

I'm currently streaming with my headset and that is not really fun to listen to.

After a lot of information, I decided on these devices. I would like to stay below 100 euro if possible.

Micro: https://www.amazon.de/...01F5BXTN8/

Mixer:

Again for those who don't feel like the links:

Did I forget something? I also know that the mixer has only 15 volts phantom power, but the microphone is not a real condenser microphone, but rather an electrical thing. I do not want to use USB microphones because it is easier to mute with the mixer in the live stream etc.

Please also suggestions for improvement.

With the budget, I would not rely on a mixer (which, by the way, is superfluous for PC users, take an audio interface and not a Behringer) and condenser microphone. Better take a USB microphone or more money in your hand.

You would be just over 100 euro:

The XENYX mixing consoles are not really recommended.

Why not just an interface? They actually have more than enough entrances?

Or to save the money for an interface directly a USB microphone.

What is the mixer for? On the PC, you can solve all this on the software side. Then you'd better take the 100 euro and buy a decent mic, not the cheapest capacitor from a brand. I have a Tonor Q9, it has a decent sound quality, USB and costs about 70 euro. I don't have a mixer, but I can be easily understood in all video conferences, Discord, recordings and games.

He doesn't want one

You can also mute about software and for a clever audio interface he pays as much as he wants to spend in total.

It would be reasonable:

AKG P3 or P5 microphone at 35 euro better than the price would suggest

Interface behringer UMC22 40 euro not completely noise-free but much better than the small Behringer consoles

Micro cable 5 euro

Tripod 10 euro

Pop filter 10 euro

With it you can easily do everything you can think of at home. Only the mic should be near you.

I have 2 monitors but to e.g. In Live Streams to simply make your micro a bit quieter, I always have to make the menu quieter and then quieter and loud in OBS. It is much more convenient to have a controller. Cell phone sound may also be added and I would like to change that separately in the volume.

Why are the consoles so bad? On YT in almost all videos, they say that are enough to get you started.

The XENYX mixing consoles are not really recommended.

How so? I have the 302 USB and I'm absolutely satisfied with it. Use it as an interface…

Sounds a lot like the typical Behringer hate ^^

ra

What kind of mic do you have?

ca

Interfaces usually have multiple inputs, where you can control the gain.

Nothing bad on mixing consoles, but it makes no sense to use a mixer for 2 inputs, since it only functions as an interface in your case.

Had the XENYX 802 or so many years ago. Went back after a week.

I produce music as a hobby, and the device was absolutely useless, even a 30 euro interface has less noise in the microphone input. For me, the series has since died. Rather an interface, there are also good ones from Behringer from 30 euro, they are all much better than the XENYX series.

Ka

The Speedlink Capo. No joke, at the Behringer interface and with the depths turned down a bit, that's very good!

Ka

I can't confirm, noise only occurs when you turn up far.

ra

Can you recommend one with little background noise to me? It should cost about as much as the mixer. (But can also be cheaper). The microphone should sound good with a suitable interface or mixer

ca

Depending on how many outputs you need:

https://m.thomann.de/de/behringer_u_phoria_umc204hd.htm

It doesn't get any cheaper than this, at best only compare prices at Geizhals or Idealo or buy B goods.

The two should definitely be fine. Otherwise you just have to take a XENYX device

ca

It depends on how professional you want to do it. I was definitely very disappointed with the device. It is the cheapest thing there's, and you get it. It may be enough for the beginner

ra

What do you think of this one?
https://m.thomann.de/de/behringer_u_phoria_umc22.htm?offid=1&affid=194

Isn't the gain just the gain?

ra

Or I order the Xenyx and then see if it causes problems. Then say hello here. If there are problems I send it back and get an interface.

ca

How you mean. The one you linked is from the same series, but has only one microphone and one instrument connection. To be honest, I don't really know whether you can use the instrument connection for your cell phone, if so, that would of course be the best cheap alternative

In the low price range, I would completely do without such a combination with a mixer.

I can recommend the https://www.amazon.de/...07DKB68DL/ (bought it for 25 euro) It has a really good sound for the price range and if you play a little more on the OBS settings then this is one of the best mics you can get in the price range and all without a mixer.
