Condenser Microphone with USB / Aux / Phantom Power?

I'm currently looking for a condenser microphone (up to about 100 euro), which I can use to stream. There seem to be 3 major differences in the type of connection: via USB, on or via a phantom power provider (phantom power). What I have found so far are microphones from the brands Aukey, Trust, Tonor and Neewer.

What are the differences or the advantages and disadvantages of the respective types of connection (quality etc.)? Are there brands that you should avoid (in the price segment)? Which brands can you recommend in principle? [My voice is pretty deep if that should matter. ]

I would appreciate your help!

P.S.: Have a look at my stream: twitch.tv/curthzer!

With phantom power as a connection you think XLR I suppose?

Not all xlr microphones need phantom power.

A USB micro sends a digital signal to your computer. Means the sound card in calculator can be so bad, the ADC conversion takes place at the micro. But on the other hand, if the ADC is bad, you can't save anything with a good sound card.

Xlr and jack are both analog. Xlr is actually better in every aspect except perhaps in size.

However, for xlr you usually need either an XLR to jack adapter or an audio interface. But if you have a mixer, then xlr inputs usually has anyway.

Yes, exactly, I found some micros that were directly connected via USB or jack, a few were with xlr -> phantom power -> jack. Then I wondered where the difference or the pros and cons, regardless of the fact that I may need to get a Phantomleistungsversorger.

I'm still at the starting line with the stream and still have no interface or mixer, may come in the future if the stream should throw some money - until then it remains only a hobby.

For the price is actually only a USB condenser micro.
I would actually avoid all the brands you've listed.

I suggest you take this. Is equal to a bundle.

Stay away from the condenser USB microphones. No serious user deals with something like that because it only leads to problems. Girlfriend is full of it!

Reasonable: USB audio interface (Brings better sound in any case

For the beginning because you do not have much money: Behringer UMC22 for 35 euro

Micro a stage capacitor micro in your price range https://www.thomann.de/...8_beta.htm

with tripod and cable about 65 euro So you would be there for 100 euro!

Have fun with it

Thanks for the answer!

I'm not looking for a stage Micro but rather a studio Micro - Would you have one, two suggestions?

So you have an absolutely noiseless, wall-, ceiling- and floor-damped refexion-free room? Very rare. Most have a normal room and therefore have to work with stage microphones.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend a studio microphone in your price segment. There's, no matter what brand, only scrap. Here in Girlfriend holes and daily users how to improve. Not at all. Aus Sch… Can't make sweets.

Simple, usable studio microphones need a neat interface. This costs from 90 euro. Microphone then from 130 euro. Spider Popkiller and tripod again 100 euro.

So if you have a "studio" at home, try the Steinberg UR12, as a microphone

Tripod and ready.

The Nt1 is preferred by many beginners because it forgives even small mistakes.

I have the SamsonC05 for my normal room here at home and get along well with a Yamaha AG6 mixer

Would it make sense to use a broadcaster microphone, for example the Røde Procaster?

The whole course with interface etc.

The procaster must be discussed up close. Interface at least Steinberg ur12 with external power supply. It needs a good reinforcement.
