USB Mode, Studio‑Ready: Stream, Record & Create Without Complexity
Whether you’re streaming, podcasting, or recording, the Tank3’s all-in-one USB design keeps you in control. Monitor your audio in real time via the rear headphone jack.

Everything you need is built in, so you can focus on creating, not configuring.

- Real-time monitoring
- volume controls & mute button
- Shape the neutral tone in XLR connection with different interfaces, or by setting up the gain stage with input dial in USB connection.
- Heavy-duty “Tank” weight does not just change how it feels but also how it sounds.
Why It’s Called “Tank”
Good-looking? That’s up to you. Clean and low-key, the Tank3 fits easily into podcast or gaming setups. No RGB, just a sleek black body and gray mesh that keeps attention on your voice.
Compared to the chunkier K688, Tank3’s leaner, denser, and heavier, reducing resonance for cleaner sound. Note that it doesn’t include a stand or fit standard shock mounts. If your desk moves often, pair it with a sturdy arm like the FIFINE BM88 or BM66.
And yes—it’s built like a tank. Almost all metal, from body to mesh. Only the dials, mute button, and mount screw are plastic. Tough, simple, ready to work.
Easy to Drive, Flexible to Shape
As a FIFINE dynamic mic, it stands out by not being gain-hungry. You won’t need to max out your interface—even with entry-level models like FIFINE SC1 or the Behringer UM2—avoiding extra noise in your recordings.
The background noise rejection truly shines. For best results, speak slightly off-axis from the top of the mic to maximize noise rejection without compromising clarity. It captures natural and crisp sound that is ready to stream or record right out of the box. But its true strength is versatility: this mic provides a tonal foundation that’s simple to shape and adjust to your voice and style.
A Podcast Mic But Not Muddy
Dynamic mics often trade warmth for clarity—but the Tank3 balances both. It has less bass than the K688, yet keeps low-end punch. Speak closer and use the proximity effect for warmth, while stepping back slightly for clarity.
Natural, Not Nasal
The mids aren’t boosted, so nasal voices aren’t emphasized. Compared to others like the Shure MV7, it still leans warm—but never muddy.
Smooth Highs, Less Harsh
Treble is even and controlled—clear but not crunchy. You get less sibilance, even with just the internal foam filter. It’s detailed, not piercing.
