I’ve examined and reviewed many USB mics with a built-in headphone output for monitoring of sidetone (the person’s personal voice, latency-free), the opposite folks linked both regionally or from far-off, and playback of pre-recorded clips and openings. To this point, not one of the USB mics I’ve ever examined are nice with shock resistance (besides these that include a shock mount, or when a third-party is added). Nevertheless, even when an exterior shock mount is used, it doesn’t assist with shock utilized on to the microphone. Because of this, all of them are extraordinarily delicate to the pulling and motion of the linked headphone (or earbuds) cable. One of the best ways to unravel that tugging downside is to make use of a protracted (i.e. 3 meters or about 10 toes) male>feminine stereo TRS extension cable run along with the USB by means of the identical versatile increase and strain-relieved. This can even have the extra good thing about trying extra skilled, for my part.
Though some USB microphones include an extension headphone cable, for instance the RØDE XDM-100 (reviewed here), the one which comes is straight. If we’re going to feed the headphone cable to the versatile increase, it’s usually sleeker if the male>feminine stereo TRS extension cable has a 90-degree male TRS plug as an alternative of a straight one. In fact, this relies on whether or not the three.5 mm TRS jack is on the top of the microphone or on the aspect, and the angle of the microphone to the increase in its perfect place. Decide the suitable 3-meter male>feminine stereo TRS extension cable with a straight or 90-degree angle on the male finish, however positively get one in every of them at the least. Both ought to value below U$10.
