FIFINE AmpliGame SC8 Gaming Audio Mixer with RGB

If you're not planning to use it with FIFINE's Genie software, the hardware setup is pretty easy. You can follow the tutorial video below to learn more.

USB mics are designed to eliminate the need for an external sound card, and a significant portion of the cost of a USB mic is dedicated to its built-in sound card. There's no need to bypass the internal one and spend extra on external ones, like the SC8 or the previous model, SC3.

No, we're sorry that this SC8 audio mixer comes with the type-c to type-a cable and 3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm TRS cable. 

Yes, the same as its predecessor, SC3, this SC8 also has an XLR combo 6.35mm port, so you can use either an XLR or a 6.35mm mic with it. 

⚠️ But note that:
1️⃣ Since XLR condenser mics need 48V power through the XLR connector, please make sure you use the XLR to XLR cables(⚠️not included) for connection. 
2️⃣ SC8 audio mixer provides 50dB gain, so when you use a dynamic mic that needs more than that, and you think the audio is a bit low, you may need a Cloudlifter to boost the gain.

Yes, definitely, it's one of the biggest changes from its predecessor, the SC3 model! Just make sure you turn the mode switch at the back of SC8 to PC and properly choose the device for your main out and the chat app.

Even with the software, we really don't recommend using it for that purpose, since the USB port on the SC8 only outputs the mixed audio. It's just not built for a dual setup in the first place.

If you really want to try it out, it's also quite easy to set it up.
1️⃣ Plug the mixer into the gaming PC through USB.
2️⃣ Next, if your streaming computer is a PC, you can use the included audio cable to connect the line-out of SC3 to the mic jack of your PC.
3️⃣ If it's a gaming laptop, then you still need to find a TRS to TRRS 3.5mm audio cable. And that's all.

The problem is that when you connect your streaming PC through the line-out jack, you can’t monitor audio coming from the stream, such as Twitch alerts.

If you connect the mixer to the streaming PC via USB, you can send and monitor audio properly. However, this setup makes it difficult to chat with friends on the gaming PC, and they may hear an echo of the game audio.

PS5✔️ for sure on the console. But make sure you turn the mode switch at the back of SC8 to PS4.

Xbox❌ is a no-no. Third-party USB audio devices aren't allowed to work with Xbox; this SC8 is no exception.

Though if you only use it as an output device, with the equipped optical input, you can hook it up to your headphones or speakers. 

1️⃣ You need to connect the A40 headset to the SC8 headset port.
2️⃣ Instead of using the included cable, you need to buy a TRS-to-TRRS cable to plug the TRS end into the SC8 line-out and the TRRS end into the Mixamp headset port. But please lower the Mixamp input volume.
3️⃣ The setting of the Mixamp on PC or PS4/5 remains the same.

But we don't recommend buying the SC8 if you only want to use the change voice feature and already own a Mixamp. The setup will become so complicated and make not much sense.

As a rule of thumb, you can check if your headsets meet the aspects below to get an idea of whether the SC8 will work. If you're not quite sure, feel free to contact us at web@fifine.cc.

✔️ 3.5mm Wired Headsets for sure. Just plug it into the headset port of the SC8.
3.5mm Wired Headsets with a DAC. In most cases, they should work as long as your DAC has a 3.5mm headset port as well as a line-in or AUX input.

❌Wireless headsets/❌Wireless headsets with a DAC/❌Wired headsets but no 3.5mm connector are all no-no.

Absolutely. Think of the FIFINE Genie software as your personal audio engineer, ready to fine-tune the SC8's already powerful hardware.
