Genesis Announces Radium 300 XLR Gaming Mic

More and more often we create content, run webinars, while video-conferences are replacing meetings at the office. We require and expect more, also on the issue of sound. The Genesis Radium 300 300 XLR studio microphone is here to fulfill those needs. The manufacturer says that the Radium 300 XLR is a professional studio microphone. Thanks to its 30 Hz - 16 kHz frequency range and high sensitivity it provides high quality, clear sound. Its cardioid character filters background noise, recording the sounds only directed at the microphone. Parents of noisy children and owners of loud mechanical keyboards will surely appreciate this feature.

The Genesis Radium 300 300 XLR microphone is sold with a set of accessories which simplify installation and use. Its regulated, metal arm guarantees installation flexibility. Mounting the microphone from the top or down should not be any challenge. The set also includes an anti-vibration holder, a foam anti-noise cover, and a pop filter. These elements provide high quality, clean sound, which is so important for content creators and remote employees.
The Genesis Radium 300 300 XLR microphone connects with a computer with a 2.5 m XLR cable and the popular mini-jack 3.5 mm plug. The microphone's steel casing is solid and durable. The microphone and its accessory set will cost around 59,99EUR / 69USD. Potential owners will be able to purchase it this month.

Was hoping this was USB.
Biggest sound quality bottleneck for any PC microphone that doesn't have it's own ADC is the quality of the soundcard/onboard it's plugged into and how much EMI exists for the analogue stretch of cable between the diaphragm and the ADC.

You mean that the inboard DAC of a cheap usb mic is better than a separate unit? Thats seems totally legit......

Just that the default cable is analogue 3.5mm and the product description says it's designed for beginners. This thing is going to be plugged into motherboard audio via an unshielded analogue cable, which is where the low-cost beginner-friendly audio solutions should be getting the conversion done as far away from the PC as possible. If you've worked with PC sound recording you know that a lot of the noise and interference is because a home environment with laptops, phones, PCs in it is an EMI mess that will get picked up by any half-decent microphone with low impedance.

As something you'd plug into a DAC/ADC it's probably a great product but I doubt that's really aimed at beginners at that point. It's all about the marketing being off on this one.
