All ModMics have the same unique, award-winning clasp method, whether it’s your headphones, VR viewers or any other smooth surface. Most of these alternatives offer good noise cancellation features that deliver quality communication. It consists of a patented tri-capsule technique that enables the production of crisp, transparent and clean grapes. Since 2011, Antlion Audio has done one thing and done it well: It’s allowed gamers to take their high-end headphones, attach a microphone on the side, and thus get great sound with (most of) the convenience of a dedicated gaming headset.

The Solution: The 3M adhesive will stick to just about anything, though rubberized surfaces do give it some trouble. With three options to choose from, ModMics are built to remove the background noise in loud environments and/or capture the audio nuances necessary for high quality voice recording. There's a mute button on top that turns red when the mic is off, a gain knob that displays live levels, a mic/PC mixer for the 3. If you're just starting out, USB is the way to go, while XLR may be a better choice for dedicated content creators that want room to grow into more advanced setups. If you’re interested in filtering out background noise and adjusting the overall volume we’ve got this amazing tutorial on EQ APO and RNNoise.By using Ngenuity software, you can access the mic and headphone volume control and play around with RGB lighting effects.

However, you can re-bend the strain relief and attach it to the right side of your headphones as well.Whether plunked down on a desk to be held aloft by its chunky stand or held in place on a strong boom arm, the Yeti provides strong audio quality for a range of use cases thanks to its four different recording patterns: cardioid, stereo, omnidirectional and bidirectional. The most important thing to remember is that audio is subjective and to keep changes as small as possible. So while it is fun to play with and you may produce a sound you like if you’re very gentle with the numbers, we don’t suggest it in most cases. Twitch streaming and YouTube video production are getting more competitive, you need the right streaming microphone to be successful.
