Fifine Ampligame A6V/A6T Mic Review: Suprisingly satisfying performance from a budget streamer mic

One of the most important gears of a streamer setup is a microphone. You’re communicating with your audience by your voice and the more cleaner your voice is, the more your audience will be pleased.

There are lots of microphone options out there. Today, we will be reviewing Fifine AmpliGame A6V/A6T. A budget microphone which is capable of handling general microphone tasks for streamers and content creators.

What do you need?

Whenever you’re buying a product, you need to know what are your needs. First of all, what is your budget? What kind of streams/contents are you producing? After answering those questions, you will be able to choose your product easily.

There are lots of options even in the budget microphone section, such as HyperX Quadcast, Razer Seiren etc. Fifne presents a bugdet microphone which is able to offer clean voice and plug and play usage. If you don’t record complex contents such as producing professional music or podcasts, Fifine would be a great pick for you.

What it is made of?

As a plug and play mic, inside of Fifine A6V’s box we have the microphone itself, a Type-C cable and a basic microphone stand. The box has everything that you need to start streaming immediately. Even pop-filter and shock mount are already built in and they work pretty well.

Although A6V’s material quality doesn’t feel cheap, it’s a clear fact that A6V’s main purpose is not to make you feel using an elite gear. Microphone is mostly made up of plastic and don’t expect nothing more from that or this range of budget.

There is a touch button for muting on the top of the microphone that it is similar from other brands. And under the microphone, there’s a switch for adjusting the gain. No headphone output for hearing your voice.

A6V has also a RGB lightning which can add some color to your streams. But you can’t set up this RGB colors and can’t even close them when you’re using it. You can only close them whenever you mute the microphone. Although lights are not that bright to hurt your eyes or anything, still I’m sure that some of you may want to shut it down.

The microphone stand that comes with A6V is enough for who wants to just plug it and stream. It’s heavy enough to carry the microphone and it doesn’t slip from the surface. But I would still suggest you to buy a proper microphone stand as you may want to set up your microphone during your streams or recordings.

There is also Fifine AmpliGame A6T version on the market. It’s the same microphone, but A6T comes with a more professional microphone stand. You can consider buying it instead. It raises the price but you get a better microphone stand. Of course A6V is compatible with other microphone stands, if you have one already you don’t have to worry about that. If your microphone stand is not compatible with A6V, you can easily use an adaptor for it.

Fifine AmpliGame A6V/A6T: Sound quality and specifications

Fifine AmpliGame A6V/A6T is a condenser microphone and its polar pattern is cardioid. It uses USB Type-C to Type-A 2.0 output connection. Detailed specifications such as its power consumption and frequency response are below.

Condenser microphones are common in streaming and video recording. If you dont have special request such as recording professional music you can go with condenser microphones.

Polarn pattern is a important factor while choosing a microphone as it affects your usage of the microphone. A6V is a cardioid microphone which means it only takes the sound in front of the microphone and no other way.

Some other microphones may offer you different polar patterns such as omni-directional or figure of eight for different uses but A6V only gives you one choice of polar pattern. This is not a problem if you’re not willing to use microphone for different purposes such as face to face podcast with a single microphone.

In terms of the sound quality, A6V offers such a clean sound considering its price. It’s hard to compare with the hi-qualified studio microphones but the overall performance is quite satisfying as the native sound comes out clear and without any sizzle noises.

If we’re going to talk about negative parts, A6V’s biggest deficiency is that it doesn’t have any software or driver for it. You can’t control any of the A6V’s features, such as its gain level, RGB or sound specifications. You need to set up the sound via 3rd party softwares and that’s a loss for A6V.

Although it’s a plug and play microphone, as it doesn’t have a software, it would be such a disappointing scenario if you can’t make it work for your PC. I haven’t bump into such problem or haven’t heard about it, but as there is no drivers for it, I can’t guarantee that you won’t have some issues with A6V.

Fifine AmpliGame A6V/A6T: Conclusions

Fifine Ampligame is compatible with PC, Mac and PlayStation 4-5 consoles. It comes up with its great price and a sound which is clear and far from being noisy. If you’re searching for a microphone for general purpose, a condenser microphone that its pattern is also cardioid, you can prefer the Fifine AmpliGame A6V or A6T.

The material quality and not having a software are the negative sides of A6V. I can’t say they would cause you trouble but you can consider those deficiencies when you choose it. If you need other polar patterns or different output connections such as XLR, you may need to search for other Fifine microphones or other brands, such as HyperX, Rode or Elgato.
