Mic and Interface Matcher
Checks a microphone against an audio interface: phantom power, available gain versus mic sensitivity, whether an inline preamp booster is needed, and connector and channel count.
This calculator is next in the build queue. The compatibility checker is live now, and the guides below cover the same ground in prose meanwhile.
About this tool
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is transmitted to a server, and there is no analytics script on this page recording your inputs. The result is stored only in the page URL, which is what lets you share it.
How accurate are these numbers?
They are class estimates, not manufacturer specifications. They are reliable for sizing a build and for catching obvious mismatches, but the exact clearance and connector requirements vary between individual models. Always confirm against the spec sheet for your specific parts before buying.
