AVerMedia Aegis Review
Review
Pros-
Plug and play on any USB 2.0 connection and works on windows 7/8/10.
Unlike other microphone setups, won’t get in the way of your face or monitor.
Able to pick up audio from 30cm away meaning you don’t have to hover over it.
The dual condenser microphones pick up audio from the front, instead of all around, meaning it won’t pick up your speaker sounds.
Active volume switch means you can adjust the microphone audio without having to open up additional programs to adjust audio
LED on the Aegis lets you know if your audio levels are clipping and/or too high.
Cons-
Since it is a standalone microphone, you will need a headset if you don’t intend, or are unable to use speakers.
Not a good match for LAN events due to being standalone.
Doesn’t work with audio mixers so any mixing with additional stream hardware requires a bit of trial and error.
Varies with different setup as motherboard these days have even better inbuilt sound solutions.
For those of you who are looking for a good microphone and not always wanting to wear a headset, or have to rely on a webcam microphone, the Aegis by AVerMedia is a perfect choice. It’s incredibly easy to set up because all you need to do is plug the micro-USB connector into the back of the Aegis, plug the USB cable in to your computer, let Windows install the software and you are good to go working with any of your favorite streaming applications (XSplit, OBS) or voice recording program (Audacity, Adobe Audition) and get right to recording.
If you are using a speaker system, the Aegis won’t pick up any audio from behind the Aegis because of the dual condenser microphones, which will only pick up audio from the front. The design of the Aegis also means that you are able to keep the microphone about 2 feet away, and still pick up audio. Furthermore, the AVerMedia Aegis software will help calibrate your microphone to eliminate more of the background audio.
With other USB microphones, there isn’t always a way to adjust the volume levels that it picks up or know if you are clipping the audio but the Aegis can solve these problems. The Aegis comes with a volume control knob that allows you to adjust the audio on the fly so that you don’t have to open up any additional software and also has a LED that will tell you if your audio is good (green), a bit loud (yellow), too loud (red) and clipping (flashing red). There’s also a mute button that allows you to quickly mute what it picks up in case you need to discuss something privately.
Not only does the Aegis benefit gamers who aren’t wanting to wear a headset to communicate, but it also benefits content creators wanting to record voiceovers for things like “Let’s plays” or product reviews.
Overall, the Aegis is a great pickup for those not wanting to commit to a full studio setup but more importantly want to be able to communicate with their teammates during online gaming.
