Now we will have look at an alternative, the BC Master.
More about the FIFINE TECHNOLOGY 669B
Another low-priced FIFINE model to consider is the 669B which again provides instant Plug and play capabilities via a USB connection. It is both Mac and PC compatible and is recognized as an input within most DAWS.
Let's take a closer look at the BC Master
Another good low-budget option to think about if cash is tight or you are just a hobbyist is the BC master model. It is another wider-bodied mic with a good weight to it and is well-manufactured, though we suspect is mass produced elsewhere as it reminds us of many other condensers on the market from bigger brands. It has a cardioid pick-up pattern and offers adequate sound quality.

| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It is exceedingly well made for a low-priced model we typically see far lower quality in the low end and the volume adjust is a bonus too. |
It is another shining example of a good quality inexpensive USB mic. It has been through quite a rigorous amount of testing and performs well. It records authentically and the low-cut switch helps counter the buzzing of low guitar strings, it captures vocals but we feel it is a little synthetic sounding and probably better suited to VOIP or narration. |
