🔥 Better than the Shure SM-7B 😍
🔥 This Studio Mic sounds AMAZING! I'm a professional Singer & Producer. I usually sing on the Nuimann TLM-102 but those are $800 or more. This Mic must be Alien Technology, lol. I don't know how it's possible that it sounds almost the same as the SM-7B. I record in Ableton with my Vocal effects. Sounds great out if the box. Add some Reverb, delay, light chorus and you have a great sounding microphone. Easy to use. Mounts easy.

Amazing mic at the exact right right price.
This microphone is far better than expected. Sure, FIFINE has a good reputation in this class of product, but this stands out.
Firstly, I was impressed with the heft of this thing. It’s heavy, but in a good way. It’s solidly built, with terrific components.
Secondly, the audio quality is as good as the other mics I’ve used. In this price point, you can’t go wrong! You’d have to get a much more expensive microphone to top it.
This a terrific microphone to use for podcasting, YouTube videos, or other social media applications. It looks great on camera. It’s solid. Most importantly, the sound is on target.

The perfect under $100 Microphone
A very professional sounding microphone with outstanding clarity. For less than $100 you can not go wrong, just pair it with the right audio interface like the FiFine SC8 and you will have the perfect podcast setup.

Great Sound Quality
I have nothing but positive things to say about the Fifine Tank1 microphone! I’ve started to get more serious about posting content and was looking for a solid performing microphone to record voice overs. The sound quality on this mic is superb. You are able to adjust how it records the main vocals as well as how it reduces background noise.
Once you purchase the appropriate XLR cable for your set up, it is super easy to use this microphone. You may need a mixer as well depending on how you connect. I opted to use a microphone stand (also not included) rather than a clamping arm. Whichever set up you choose, you will not go wrong using this high quality microphone. It does have a bit of weight to it so it may not be ideal for a more portable use case.

A Crystal Clear Stunningly Professional Sounding Mic
I’ve been using FiFine microphones since 2017, which is when their wireless K036 mics were released. It coincided with beginning my karaoke and DJing events. At the time, my Gemini wireless mics were being used. Even though they were relatively good, they didn’t have long range use, they needed a lot of gain, and the sound wasn’t transparent. The vastly less expensive FiFine mics took their place instantly, by addressing every issue the Gemini mics had.
After entrusting my karaoke events to FiFine’s K036 wireless mics for 4 to 5 nights a week, over a period of 8 years, it made sense to get FiFine’s line of pod casting mics. One of those mics was the FiFine AmpliGame AM8. I was using the Audio-Technica AT2035 Condenser mic with a Motu M4 audio interface. Understandably, even though the AmpliGame AM8 didn’t surpass the Audio-Technica mic, with the right audio plugins and EQs, it still sounded amazing. It essentially performed well above its price point.
Now that FiFine has released the AmpliGame Tank 1 XLR mic, it looks like the Audio-Technica AT2035 has finally been met its match, all within a lower price point. The Tank 1 has a rich, transparent sound, which matches its stunningly refined aesthetics. The clarity and depth of the sound is superb. You can hear every intricate detail perfectly. The mic was tested with the Motu M4, which has outstanding mic pre amps, as well as FiFine’s AmpliGame SC3 Audio Mixer. With the Motu M4, the results sound professional. That interface is plugged into my iMac, and all of my recordings go through Apple's Logic Pro. FiFine’s AmpliGame SC3 Mixer was plugged into my PC build, and it definitely provided good results, though the gain needed to be raised higher in the final mixing stages. The recording programs that gave me the best results on PC were Acoustica MixCraft, which has a user friendly Garage Band style interface, FL Studio, and Ableton Live. I tested it one more time on my PC with Nvidia broadcast on. That produced transformative results, because I didn’t need to set up my recording booth and pop filters to use it. All of the potential sources of ambient noise were gone. Using the Tank 1's mid range boost and low cut filter gave this mic a beefier sound than the AT2035, which also had its low cut filter turned on.
Any microphone that can approach the Audio-Technica AT2035 deserves praise. What's shocking to me is how the FiFine AmpliGame Tank 1 actually surpassed it, which was pretty incredible. The AT2035 is an affordable professional sounding microphone that could compete with microphones that cost substantially more. It also has enough natural audio gain to avoid any hiss sounds. The AmpliGame Tank 1 provides all of these features for less, with more prominent vocal presence, and that's why it's getting 5 stars.

Tank 1 XLR
I’ve been using this mic for several days now and I’m really impressed. It’s easily one of the best XLR microphones I’ve owned — clear, rich sound and solid performance. Highly recommended.

Studio Quality Sound in a Budget MIC!
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
I love this mic! Top of the line build quality and sound quality. This mic can be used for gaming, streaming, recording, podcasting or even singing. IT is by far the best mic I've owned. Heavy mic so if you buy this, make sure you purchase the FIFINE Mic Arm Stand BM66 Black. FIFINE never disappoints. This quality mic for this price is unbeatable!

Superior Microphone!
I ordered this microphone to use with my lectures and pre-recorded classes. It is, as many others have noted, a well-built, heavy-duty, microphone. I have never had one with the vocal quality this microphone produces. I am much more used to a smaller on-the-head microphone or the standard microphone with your upgraded webcam. I can tell you this is leagues ahead of those. The sound quality is phenomenal. I could adjust to filter out the background noise, which was such a blessing to me. The only issue I could see is that because it is heavy, it will not sit well in my less sturdy microphone holder, hence I will now be looking for a microphone stand. All said, I love this to record my lectures and have thought about also using it with other endeavors. Definitely a quality build and product for the money!

Versatile dynamic mic for broadcast and vocals
Definitely inspired by the SM7B, which I own and can compare against.
In terms of build quality, the TANK1 is indeed a tank. Weighs more than the SM7B, so you’ll need a decently strong boom arm to support this mic (I used a VIVO mic arm for my testing, which handles heavy mics just fine).
The integrated swivel mount is handy and the screws either side make it easy to adjust the angles.
On the back of the mic is the XLR connector and 2 switches: a midrange boost and a low-cut (high pass) filter. Connector and switches are well made, no issues. For my mic arm, the rear XLR port placement is actually better than the SM7B.
The low-cut does a good job of removing excessive low end frequencies but does thin out the sound slightly.
With the midrange boost off, I felt the mic lacked a little body and, for me, I preferred the mic with the midrange boost always on.
It doesn’t sound the same as an SM7B. The captured audio from the SM7B is smoother and has a tighter low mids. With the midrange boost ON, the Fifine gets a little brighter than the SM7B.
It does do a very good job of capturing your voice. I was also pleasantly surprised by its low noise floor.
The asking price seems fair for a well made and good sounding mic.

Great Sound Quality
The mic I had was cheaper than this one and it sounded okay. When I saw this mic I had to have it. As compared to my mic this one is much heavier and the quality I can tell is a lot better. The setup was easy as I plug it into my mixer and then the mixer into my PC.
I have a fan running all the time in my room and my friends could usually hear it with my old Mic. So we tested my fan from low setting to high setting to see when they could hear it. The fan is not right next to me but the air of course is blowing right onto me. My friends stated they could hear the "wind" passing by the mic instead of the fan sound. Which So it seems this mic does a good job of noise canceling.
Overall I am very satisfied with this upgrade and I am giving it 5 solid stars.

For the price, Fantastic
I am a podcast producer and I do have the budget Fifine K699 that I love. For $40 I get excellent sound quality. Not as good as the Sure SM7B but NO ONE of my listeners can tell a difference. Moreover, after all compression is done and delivered to Spotify which will compress once more to send you the files via wifi or 5G, the end result is indistinguishable. This mic for what's considered a "budget" mic, it really punches above its weight class in both build and sound quality.
Pros:
First off, this thing is built like, well, a tank! The all-metal construction gives it a hefty, durable feel that inspires confidence. You know it can take a beating. The sound quality is remarkably smooth and warm, especially for voice-overs, podcasting, and live streaming. It really shines in those applications. It does a good job at rejecting background noise, which is a plus for any challenging recording environment. And for the price, it's great deal.
Cons:
There are a few minor things to keep in mind. This is an XLR-only microphone, so you'll need an audio interface to connect it to your computer. It's not a plug-and-play USB mic. Also, it can be a bit gain-hungry, so you might need to crank up the gain on your interface or consider an inline preamp/mic booster for optimal levels. A good quality, sturdy boom arm is also a must because this mic is surprisingly heavy (1.5 lb!!!!). Lastly, while it does a good job with plosives, some might still prefer an external pop filter, as it doesn't come with one. As you can hear on my recording it did get some Ps and Bs.
Still in the cons, sort of: This mic DOES NOT require Phantom Power I don't know the rationale behind this, make it more popular? (It's XLR!) But that definitely affects the gain. As you can see on my recording I normally would get a -8 to -3dB with the recording setting on the Zoom X5 and with this I got -12. Albeit clean as heck you can always gain up in post, but I would rather have more gain on the mic and turn it down on the mixer instead of having to crank it up.
I also had to speak almost with the microphone in my mouth (JK) but really, really close to be able to get a decent sound. I know some podcasting microphones are built like this, I prefer more sensible mics that you don't have to attach to you mouth to speak.
Still cons ... the boost and low cut did NOTHING for me. I could not hear or see (check the video) any difference on the audio spectrometer.
Sorry one more con ... I like the sound of it, I would like a bit more highs. It kind of goes from 100Hz to 1kHz (which is human voice) and falls off pretty quickly after that. I know, I know this is a budge microphone, but you will be pushing the high frequencies later to make it sound more "airy" meaning more realistic. But again, this is a budget mic.
OK one more con ... some suggested this mic is great for audiobooks. Heck no! Audiobooks is where you bring your AAA game. I'm an audiobook engineer and I would not use anything less than a Neumann U 87. The mic I actually use to record audiobooks. And yes, my Audiobooks sound 100x better than most, but this is why I'm busy as an Audio Engineer.
Overall / Summary:
The Fifine Tank1 is a great offering from Fifine. It's a solid microphone with a great sound profile that's for anyone getting into podcasting, streaming, or general voice work such as training videos, NOT audiobooks.
While it requires an XLR setup and it is a gain-hungry monster, these are considerations for the quality you're getting at this price point. It holds its own against mics that cost significantly more. If you're looking for a high-quality, durable microphone that delivers good audio without breaking the bank, this is a definite buy. You won't be disappointed!

Really great microphone at a budget friendly price
This microphone is really great for the price point. The sound quality is comparable other mics that are well above the price of this mic. The mic has built in mid boost and low cut filters, which are activated via a switch on the back of the microphone. These filters make the microphone very versatile. All aspects of this mic function as expected. It is well built and very durable with all metal construction and is rock solid. It is easy to use and connects to an interface via XLR cable. The Tank 1 does not have a USB connectivity as an option, so keep that in mind when considering this mic. Overall, I am really pleased with this mic and I would recommend it to anyone in the marked for a good budget microphone.

This MIC is a Heavyweight Delivering Impressive Results
I'm super impressed with this Tank 1 mic and yes it is built like a tank. This is the heaviest mic I own and delivers smooth, rich audio. I tested it with talking, singing, and even some screaming- it stands up to some of my most expensive mics. I also like the mid boost and low cut settings. I also used it with an in line preamp gain booster for dynamic mics and the results were amazing. For the value, this is hard to beat. Its made with high quality metal construction delivers clarity with virtually no noise and frequency response of 50Hz to 15KHz. Exceptional!
RCAddiction
Impressive
Perhaps not quite a Shure SM7B but very close in clarity. The analog switches on the back for low filter and midrange boost are super convenient, avoiding any hassle of playing with software to do something so simple and useful.
These are heavy so make sure the stand that you use to support them is equally beefy. They do not come with XLR cables, and you will need an amplification system to use them with a PC, like most pure XLR mics.
Audio quality for voice is super. Crystal clear with no coloration, hum, or background noise

Very good dynamic cardioid podcast microphone
The Fifine Tank 1 is a very good dynamic, cardioid podcast microphone. It is solidly built, with a heavy screen and a body that has heft. It sits on swivel stand that can be attached to any standard microphone stand, and includes an adapter for stands with a narrow connector. An XLR cable, which is not included, connects the mic to a mixing board. No phantom power is required, as this is a dynamic microphone. The mic comes with two switches on the bottom. One raises the midrange, while the other is a high pass filter to cut out lows. I like the sound of this microphone. While it requires quite a bit of gain to push it, the sound is smooth and clean. The midrange button definitely brings out the "broadcast" frequencies of the voice, and the high pass filter is great for reducing rumble, air conditioner sounds, etc. The cardioid pattern is a plus in that it blocks out extraneous noise. I compared this to a moderately more expensive condenser microphone. The condenser microphone had a bit more depth and heft to the sound, but for the price, this microphone is a good choice.
