does/can Nady SP-4C stand alone? can you just talk into this mic and your voice be amplified or does it have to be plugged into something?

All mics, with the exception of bullhorns or megaphones and the like, need to be "plugged into" , either by wire or wirelessly via a transmitter, to an amplifier that feeds a speaker. The size of this mic is probably too large and heavy for the grip of an infant. Plus the cord may pose a tripping or "around the neck" hazard.

Ya it's possible, you just need an XLR M-F Cable. Then connect your mic via XLR M-F cable to the Nady phantom unit and then XLR F-3.5mm to your Mac's mic in. Hope this helps you.

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.

This mic is not made to be plugged into a camera directly! You need the transmitter and receiver as well! I got this to replace the mic that came with my audio package!

Yes, you do need some sort of device to air and amplify the sound from the microphone. Most amplifiers should be able to handle the volts coming from this microphone, however, if you have a few microphones and you link it up to one amp, it may not be sufficient.

run an unpowered signal (Main output/ Aux output, etc) via 1/4" plug or 3-pin balanced "Mic" cable. 1/4 plugs into middle of 3-pin input. DO NOT run a powered signal into unit! It will split low end to main sub speaker, then send rest of signal to onboard power amps (2 passive spkrs can be plugged into unit and used as mains for small room or to power monitors- pretty neat setup, although only 150watts, used correctly the sub can be a self contained power setup.).

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

It can be used alone without issue. This style of microphone is also suited for stereo pairs. It's a small diaphram mic & they do great in pairs as a result but by itself or in conjunction with an other mic you'll get good results.

This mic requires phantom power from a mixer board. Will not work without phantom power. There are some external phantom power boxes you can purchase that are not expensive.

No, this is a line level mixer for CD players, computer audio output or even your main audio mixer. This is not a mic mixer. Usually your stand alone mixer will have the phantom power option.

Get the NADY DKW-Duo wireless mics. Comes with two wireless mics, and you have no cords to deal with. I have them and they work great.

Yes it's best if you turn off the attached mic and use just the this mic. You may even have to unplug your mic anyway to connect the this mic to the plug that your mic is plugged into.

well, besides the hand mic, you can only use one of the two lapel mics. It's either the one with a head piece or the one with a clip. I just put a battery on the black mic box and it was automatically connected to the unit. same goes for the wireless mic. I just inserted the battery, adjusted volumes and it worked perfectly fine for me..

It has a "3/4 jack input, and anything that is plugged through it may be amplified. It doesn't have a spot for the standardized mic cable but they do sell cables that can hook a mic to "3/4. I'm not sure if it would sound as good since that's not the standard they use, but I'd have no way of knowing or guessing.

Yes, this unit needs to be plugged into a separate amp or mixer. It cannot stand alone.

You can use it as one but you'll need a phantom power source to plug the mic into before running it to your PC. I just bought an inexpensive one on eBay for about $20 and it works great!

If the audio amplifier has an XLR mic input with phantom power, you can connect it directly. The mic comes with the shock mount, so you only need a stand.
