The microphone's design is really quite sleek. It is lovely and lightweight, while it is also compact enough to be packed away in the provided carry case. This just makes it easier to travel with it, if you were to use the microphone at an event, or if you wanted vlog your day to day business.

It was all very simple to setup, whether it was to use on my DSLR camera, smartphone or PC and I think the sound that it provides is good quality – although it does depend on the distance that you have between yourself and the microphone.

I do feel that it's a bit of a shame that the provided cables are on the short side, meaning that it would prove near impossible to use it on a dedicated desktop PC with the mic input on the back. However, use on a laptop would completely be find as the microphone input is a lot closer to you, allowing for the cable to reach.

You can buy the AVerMedia Live Streamer Mic 133 from Overclockers UK for £69.95 HERE

Pros:

  • Lightweight & compact.
  • Easy to set up.
  • No batteries/power cable.
  • Sounds good.

Cons:

  • Short cables are problematic.

KitGuru says: The Live Streamer Mic 133 would be a good addition for any content creator, with a fair price point you definitely get a better experience than a generic microphone on the market today.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
