The 3.5mm tip goes in almost every good headphone. We have developed a wide range of supplies to increase compatibility for all consoles, XLR interfaces, or USB inputs with any device having a microscope plug-on. In brief, it attaches anywhere and works with everything. Pros

Third option: Audio-Technica AT2020 The AT2020 (left, XLR) and AT2020USB-XP (right, USB) | Image credit: Audio Technica/Digital Foundry You can also replace the ModMic’s included 3.5mm cable with a properly shielded extension, but again: It seems like the ModMic should already come with one. A weird place to cut corners on an otherwise premium microphone. Bottom line The Solution: Ensure the mixer has a 5v mode or 12v mode. If it's over 12v, do NOT use it without an official Antlion Audio Power Converter! If your device does have 5v or 12v phantom power you may be able to use a more simple XLR to 3.5mm Adapter (pictured below) Again I can not stress enough to NEVER plug the ModMic into full 24v or 48v phantom power, or you risk serious damage to your hardware.The next challenge is cable routing. With a headset, you usually have both your audio and mic cables combined into one, at least until they reach the PC. With the ModMic, you obviously don’t have that luxury. Instead you run a second 3.5mm cable from the ModMic to your computer, with the option to insert a mute toggle in the middle. Part One of this multi-part series is how to resolve common issues we see our customers facing. Some of these you may have and not even know it! So let's jump in and solve some issues! Low audio / White Noise : The short answer is, not that great. After all, these devices weren’t really made to provide exceptional audio quality for those applications. The Problem: You want to use your ModMic on your PS4, Xbox1, or even your Wii-U, but the controller only has one 3.5mm port!

The ModMic Wireless is designed to be placed on the right side of your headphones with the charging port facing down. Watch the latest DF Weekly, where Digital Foundry staff discuss the hottest gaming technology news. Plug it into the USB port (wired model), or the USB receiver (wireless model). turn it on (wireless model). The ModMic Wireless or USB may work with USB inputs, but we’re unsure if it supported by all models.The Problem: Maybe you dropped it while installing, maybe you moved it, maybe you forgot to clean the surface first. Whatever the case may be this weird solution will fix you right up: So what’s the difference, and why would you need to have these two microphone modes on this ModMic?

The Problem: Hit record on any program you want, but say nothing. Then hit play. Hear anything? A hum, buzz, or hiss? This is white noise. Don't hear anything? Crank the volume to max and hit play again. Nearly every system has a little bit of this, but the important part is to minimize it as much as possible. Yes, ModMic is worth it and is trusted by many. When we talk about a microphone’s quality, the ModMic Wireless exceeds most wired gaming headsets. The ModMic Wireless, unlike other Bluetooth microphones, does not compress the sound. It’s also a sensitive mic, so your speech comes through loud and clear. 4. Can too much gain damage a mic?

Customer reviews

While on the subject of battery, and recharging it, there’s a micro USB port that’s used for recharging the battery that’s located on the wireless ModMic. Something to keep in mind when installing / attaching the ModMic is making sure to install the device so that the micro USB port faces down and not up.
