Technical specifications for the AM8 identify it as a hybrid-path device featuring both USB-C and transformerless XLR outputs. The dynamic capsule is ruggedized for high sound pressure levels, and the internal chipset supports 16-bit/48kHz digital conversion. A capacitive mute button is integrated to eliminate mechanical noise during toggle operations.
Performance metrics demonstrate that the 3.5mm jack provides direct hardware-level monitoring. The chassis is a plastic-to-metal hybrid with standardized mounting threads. Note that the XLR output path operates passively and does not support the onboard RGB lighting or volume knobs, which require 5V power from the USB connection.
To ensure long-term stability and proper posture, mount this unit using monitor arms or stands that can provide adjustable vertical clearance.
This unit serves as a bridge between consumer and professional standards in the studio USB microphones category.
