FIFINE SC8 Gaming Audio Mixer for XLR Microphone, Game and Chat Mix Button with Software, 3 Channel Audio Interface for Volume Control, 48V Power

First impressions: well packaged like all FIFINE items. Unit feels solid and well constructed, with snappy buttons and quality rotary controls that actuate smoothly. Full assortment of input and output jacks on the rear interface panel, including an optical port, and of course, a combination XLR/ 1/4” plug jack. The XLR port provides selectable phantom power level on demand. In terms of performance, this unit is a breeze to operate. Controls are all well labeled and intuitive, and it's a matter of minutes from setting the unit up to processing your first audio. It streamlines the process of audio production and quickly gets you an end result, rather than spending hours to get there. Sound quality is unsurpassed. Backlighting on all controls makes operating in even low light a breeze. This unit offers features available on units costing double what this product costs, so it is a very good buy at the current price point. I give this a very strong 5 star recommendation - my highest - for another FIFINE product that gives the consumer a whole lot of functionality for the dollar!

This is my honest review of the: FIFINE SC8 Gaming Audio Mixer My opening thoughts when receiving the item: It was shipped in a paper bag. However the box inside that it comes in has nice spongy foam, high quality but would have liked it in another box for shipping. The device itself feels quality. The extra wires are nice but doesn't come with an XLR cable for the price which would have been nice. The good parts are: It feels good. Quality. It even has RGB. Which to me isn't required. Figuring it out you don't even need the manual as to me it was that simple. Messing with the marked buttons each work. The dials feel nice. really overall good. The negatives are: As stated not coming with an XLR cable. Though not required as most XLR microphones should come with a cable. If not though then you will need to buy a cable. The other actually negative is it coming in a paper bag. It may not for all but it did for me. To me even with the nice main box the device comes in it could be a negative. As it could crush the main box if you want to keep it. The overall rating out of ten is: 8/10 (the real thing hitting it here is the lack of protective secondary box. The lack of XLR is not hitting the score here.) Overall thoughts: It is a great product. Works as expected. Even has an app you can use but you don't need to which i prefer not to. I don't need other apps running in the background. However for the custom buttons you will need to use the app to actually set them which makes sense in all honesty.
