Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about FIFINE

What is included with the FIFINE AM8 and is it a good value?
The FIFINE AM8, priced at $49.99, offers excellent value, including the microphone itself, a desktop stand, a tap-to-mute button, and a headphone jack. It boasts a 4.6-star rating from over 9,600 reviews, making it a popular choice for creators.
What connections does the FIFINE AM8 use and what are its requirements?
The FIFINE AM8 offers both USB and XLR connections for broad compatibility. When using XLR, you'll need a separate XLR cable (not included) and an audio interface or mixer, as the RGB lighting and USB-specific functions are inactive in this mode.

The FIFINE AM8's cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the sound source directly in front, minimizing off-axis noise for clearer recordings. Zero-latency monitoring via the headphone jack allows you to hear your audio in real-time without delay, ensuring precise sound adjustments with its 48kHz sample rate.
Are there any limitations when using the XLR connection on the FIFINE AM8?
Yes, when the FIFINE AM8 is connected via XLR, the RGB lighting and USB-specific functions (like the tap-to-mute button and gain control) are inactive. The XLR connection also requires a separate cable, which is not included with the microphone.
