MICROPHONE
DESIGN 4.5/5
The Fifine K688 came in a lovely black and red cardboard box inside which the microphone was securely nestled in cut-out foam compartments, along with a 2.5m USB-C to USB cable, a 5/8" male to 3/8' female screw adapter, and a user's manual. The microphone itself is attractive and well-built, thanks to its matte black all-metal construction. Its shock mounting and grey foam cover are not only utilitarian but also add to the overall visual appeal.
A tap-to-mute button/LED indicator is located on one side of the capsule, just above the shock mount. At the bottom end are the XLR port, Type-C port, headphone jack, headphone volume control, and microphone gain knob. The included screw adapter is useful for attaching the mic to an arm stand.
