    You should try the Q24 next! 24 bit 192khz + metal chassis. I currently have the Riworal(rebranded I guess) iteration and for my use case it seems good enough.

    I just posted a video review of the Q16 (see my YT channel). I had similar issues with static and noise, until I tried a different mic cable. The front panel mic connectors are a little fussy with some cables. I think the Q16 is great value for PC-based karaoke, but not a good choice for music production or critical listening.

    Hey Dave! I was wondering if you'd recommend using this setup (Teyun Q-12 and Fifine's k688) with a virtual cable software such as voicemeeter, and wondering if you'll do a video about it?

  • @NotGenome
    @NotGenome ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hi Dave! I have the same exact interface, and I faced the issues with the noise during monitoring. Apparently, what solved it was to use a 3.5mm Ground Loop Isolator on the headphone jack on the front. It is inexcusable that it took such a device to make the interface useable, but it is what got it to work fine. I chose this over the Q-12 because of the aesthetics, but failed on its primary function sadly.

    • @DaveSoltura
      @DaveSoltura  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for sharing your experience, Genome! Did the ground loop isolator fix just monitoring, or the actual recording? Because all of the audio itself was busted in my experience!

    • @NotGenome
      @NotGenome ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@DaveSoltura I had no issues with the recording itself, although that might probably because I use an external mic preamp with my dynamic microphone (Klark Teknik CM-1) which requires me to only set the gain at 25% with the 48V phantom power enabled. I think the noise you experience at close to maximum gain is caused by the noisy preamp the audio interface comes with.

    • @DaveSoltura
      @DaveSoltura  ปีที่แล้ว +3

    after usb port got busted on my scarlett gen 3 i ordered mine thinking ooh q-16 thats gotta be even better than q-12 i mean its like +4 right :') hissing and pops n cracks every few seconds like its clipping even with the gain set real low, also when hooked up to cubase i could not get the inputs to record seperately, just got a 'mono' stereo feed with both inputs coming through on left and right equally, ordered an evo 4 now , lil more pricey but couldnt afford to replace the focusrite

    I have the k688 and condenser microphone both on a xlr set up that I use for voice acting and I actually prefer the k688, only thing is if I'm doing a scene were I'm yelling or loud the mic tends to clip more than a normal mic would. Still love it tho!

    I ordered fifine k688 but I'm planning to use it via USB since I'm on budget. I have no problem buying teyun q12, but on fifine k688 is a cheap interface better than USB ?

    • @DaveSoltura
      @DaveSoltura  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I initially came up with the Teyun Q12 video because I thought the K688 usb mode was broken, when it turns out it was the cable’s fault. You’ll be fine with just USB + a proper cable. In fact, the preamps may even be better than the Teyun. But the Teyun provides the flexibility of having 2 inputs if you’ll ever need it.

      I'm biased for how the K688 sounds... but in my country it costs twice as much as the Maono PD100.
      If budget is a concern, the PD100 will be more than enough, if you add the Teyun Q12, as well.
