the ark midi R2 by fractal design features massive air flow and highly
flexible liquid cooling support click now to learn more at long last here it
is finally guys personal rig update number 16 no I'm just kidding this is my
mod mic followup so when I originally unboxed the mod mic which is the
detachable microphone that you can put on the side of any headphones as you
guys will probably know if You' been watching me for any period of time I'm
not a huge fan of most gaming headsets
because generally speaking they skimp on the actual audio quality in order to
tack a mic onto them so what I often recommend people do is use a pair of
headphones in this case these are stenis or HD 555s which I used to use and use
something else as a microphone such as a blue desktop microphone or the mod mic
this is the Rev 3 one now aside from promising a followup back when I did the
unboxing I also made some mistakes when I did the original unboxing I didn't
really configure it right so for example
this uh this little clip right here is actually for clipping to the mod mic
itself to reduce stress on the cable not for clipping to the cord of your other
device so I would actually recommend doing that in some other way I also
didn't really configure it correctly in terms of the positioning you want to
make sure you get things right beforehand you don't want to kind of like bend it too much and then unbend it
and rebend it and other than that that was sort of most of the problem the good
news is you have a second chance cuz they do include another little magnetic
piece so you can always kind of Reiger it yourself um and so I never provided
that audio sample that I promised to provide because that was the big
question from people is okay there's a solution where I can have better sound
for myself but what about the people on the other line so for those guys the
good news is the mod mic rev 3 does have a list of sound cards that it works with
the bad news is some onboard Audio Solutions in particular it is not
compatible with so when I found out where we were getting an ASUS Zonar febus which happens to be on the list of
approved sound cards which you can check out on their website which is linked in the video description I was like oh
that's great now I'll be able to do my mod mic followup and then I didn't really bother trying to find another
solution but this sat in the kitchen for
like two and a half months while we were prepping and working on and planning and
I didn't unbox it yet and then we were doing our extreme Overkill byus guide
etc etc etc until finally then it sat on my desk for a little while longer until
I finally installed it in my work computer and recorded the test audio
clip so without further Ado the mod mic
the most compelling social media cataract is to truly comprehend the
expansive landscape from an editorial Viewpoint during an aspiring potato's
early career so there you have it guys it slices it dices it allows you to
transfer it from one pair of headphones to another you can actually get
additional little Clips if you want I know they're working on a rev four that's going to be even better you can
put it up like this you can put it down like that you could put it down here
like this but I wouldn't really recommend it because you're going to get a lot of like throat vibration and
anyway corner of your mouth is the correct position and there are lots of
other correct positions too it's all about personal preference thank you for
