Ross adds:

Two of the biggest factors impacting your audio quality are your microphone pre-amps and analog-digital (A-D) converters. Why purchase professional broadcast microphones only to plug them into budget mixers? At the sub-$500 level, audio interfaces generally have better pre-amps and A-D/D-A conversion than USB mixers. Audient’s two mic pre-amps and A-D/D-A converters on the iD14 have a reputation of providing audio quality typically associated with large-format consoles. Along with a CloudLifter, I get great sound pairing the iD14with my Shure SM7B microphone. If you only need to plug in one mic, the Audient iD4 cuts the cost by $100.
