The FIFINE Tank3 is a budget USB/XLR dynamic microphone, and I’ve paired it with the BM88 low profile boom arm. Priced at around 120 dollars for the setup, I think it’s a pretty nice budget option for new content creators and streamers.

About This Video

In this video, I unbox and review a pretty solid budget mic setup: the FIFINE AmpliTank Tank3 dynamic microphone (USB + XLR) paired with the BM88 low profile boom arm. The Tank3 comes in at around $80 and the BM88 is about $50, so you’re looking at roughly a $120 setup that’s aimed at new creators and streamers who want something that looks and feels premium without spending a ton. I go over what’s in the box, the build quality (mostly metal, matte black), and all the controls like the top mute button, gain and monitoring knobs, plus the ports on the back (USB-C, 3.5mm, and XLR). I also walk through the setup, cable management on the BM88 (it has removable covers underneath), and how the Tank3 behaves in real use. Sound-wise, it’s a cardioid mic, so it focuses on the front and does a good job keeping background noise down—I had a fan, air con, and even some traffic noise, and it didn’t really get picked up. I recorded this whole video on the Tank3, and honestly it sounds pretty good: XLR comes through more full and warm with decent clarity, while USB is a bit more muddy in my opinion, but still very usable and way easier for plug-and-play.
