FIFINE AmpliTank K688 XLR/USB Dynamic Microphone

Dual-Connection Dynamic Microphone

The FIFINE AmpliTank K688 is a unidirectional dynamic microphone offering both XLR and USB outputs. It connects directly to a computer via an 8.2 ft USB cable for driver-free operation on Windows or Mac, while the XLR interface allows integration with mixers or audio interfaces. A cardioid polar pattern focuses on the speaker and reduces background noise such as keyboard clicks or fan hum, and the metal body houses a 130 dB SPL capsule that handles loud vocals without distortion.

Streamers, podcasters and remote workers

This microphone suits creators who want a single mic for desk-based USB recording and studio-style XLR workflows. Real-time monitoring is provided through a built-in headphone jack with a dedicated volume control, and a tap-to-mute button silences the capsule instantly during live sessions. Buyers who need a suspension boom arm, a table stand or an XLR cable should source those separately, as they are not included. Users who require on-mic gain adjustment while running solely over XLR will not have that control available.

Cardioid polar pattern with 130 dB SPL

The unidirectional capsule rejects off-axis sound while accepting high sound-pressure levels up to 130 dB, so shouted commentary or close-miked instruments stay clean. Sensitivity is rated at -50 decibels with a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 80 dB, delivering a quiet noise floor for spoken-word clarity. All hardware controls — gain knob, mute tap and monitoring volume — function only when the microphone is powered over USB, so XLR-only use requires external preamp gain staging.
