Modding and audio technology? Up to now, this has hardly been compatible with each other, because in the audio sector, people are accustomed to dealing with very high-quality products, which they acquire in a targeted manner, and then ideally no longer need to modify them. The selection of headsets and headphones is correspondingly large, for almost every customer and almost every hearing need there is the appropriate device on the market. After all, everyone has a mind of their own.
But what may seem like a blessing at first glance can also become a curse if you have found your dream headphones, but they lack a microphone. Or if you call the ideal gamer headset your own, but the integrated microphone doesn't (any more) work or sound the way you want it to.
Then the complete change to completely different ear cups is not so easy, then you don't want to do without the perfect fit, the rich basses or the ingenious room sound just because of the microphone.
The boys and girls of AntLion Audio have made a virtue out of this misery. The Americans from Portland, Oregon, are gamers and hi-fi enthusiasts themselves, and that's why they came up with the idea of bringing their own retrofit microphone onto the market: the ModMic was born.
Now in its fourth revision, the ModMic is a technically advanced addition to your favorite headphones or a premium replacement for the imperfect headset.
The unidirectional boom microphone with 3.5 mm jack plug can be easily attached to the outside of an ear cup. To do this, first clean the appropriate area on the ear cup with the supplied alcohol-based cleaning cloth, then remove the protective film on the back of the small basic holder - which looks like a button - and press the holder firmly on.
After about an hour, the connection is sufficiently tightened and ready to go:
Now simply attach the magnetically attached microphone bracket to the basic holder, adjust the swivel arm to the correct length and connect the other end of the 3.3 m cable to a jack socket on the PC.
The ModMic can be folded up and down by 90 degrees, the handle itself is also extremely flexible and malleable and, if you like, the entire microphone can be removed quickly and, thanks to magnetism, clipped to its steel housing or placed in the supplied case.
The total height of the microphone attached to the auricle is approximately 17.5 mm. The double-sided adhesive pad on the base bracket is from the 3M quality brand and ensures that the ModMic V4 holds easily on metal, plastic and even mesh surfaces.
To allow the customer to attach the ModMic V4 to a second pair of headphones or later, AntLion Audio adds a second base mount and an additional 3M adhesive pad.
With this version of the AntLion Audio ModMic V4, a mute button for fast manual mute of the microphone is integrated in the jack cable.
The "Inline"operation is located approximately 15 cm behind the microphone bar and is therefore at chest level, where it can be easily reached at any time.
