A USB microphone has its own preamp and converter inside, so it plugs straight into a computer. An XLR microphone needs an audio interface or a mixer. Priced side by side at Thomann, USB is cheaper to start with, and XLR is cheaper to grow with.
Interactive pages we build for Thomann campaigns: a desk map for studio monitors, a gain check for a microphone, a live deals board. Tools you can use, on our own price data.
All projects →The old price held for two weeks or more, and the new one is the lowest since we started tracking. No fake sales.
All price stories →Four sections, four colors. Every story is built on our own price records.
Every section opens a set of charts ranked by the AudioFu Index: demand, lineup, price, specs and maker.
All rankings →The order on every chart comes from the AudioFu Index: five measured signals, fixed public weights, no paid placement. AudioFu earns a commission from Thomann links; it never changes the order. How the AudioFu Index works →
