Third-party reviews

What we like about AVerMedia Live Streamer MIC 350

  • High-quality, clear audio with excellent, natural voice reproduction
  • Versatile, offering both Cardioid and Omnidirectional polar patterns, suitable for podcasting, interviews, or solo streaming
  • Excellent, intuitive software (Vibe Engine) allowing for deep DSP customization
  • Solid build quality featuring a robust, stylish metal mesh grill
  • Includes helpful built-in features such as zero-latency monitoring, a shock mount, and a pop filter
  • User-friendly physical controls for gain, headphone volume, and mute functionality

What we don't like about AVerMedia Live Streamer MIC 350

  • The included low-sitting desktop stand may not be ideal for all setups, often requiring a boom arm for optimal positioning
  • At roughly $180-$200, it faces stiff competition in the premium USB microphone market
  • Requires some technical setup (e.g., in OBS) for the best results, as with most professional-style USB mics

Verdict

The AVerMedia Live Streamer AM350 is a high-performance USB condenser microphone featuring dual 14mm electret capsules that support both cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. It offers studio-grade recording specifications, including a 24-bit resolution, a sample rate of up to 96 kHz, and a wide frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a maximum SPL of 120 dB. Main characteristics include Dirac-tuned audio profiles and integration with the VibeEngine software suite, which provides advanced tools like a 15-band EQ, AI noise reduction, and a full audio mixer. Its primary pros are the exceptional all-metal build quality, intuitive onboard controls for gain and headphone monitoring, and versatile plug-and-play compatibility across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. However, some users have noted cons such as the high price point compared to other USB microphones, the lack of distinct markings on its sleek body which can make adjustments difficult in low light, and occasional software instability with the VibeEngine application.
