No, I thought it was going to be in stereo also, but only functions as mono.

Three things:1) You're MIC is Mono, there is no way to get Stereo. If you mean two Mono tracks, then you can do this in post.2) Getting Stereo requires more than one mic. 3) Dual Stereo is not the same as Stereo.

Buy a 1/8" mono to 1/8" stereo adapter. Should be about a buck at your local Radio Shack or for a couple bucks on Amazon. Some cords that go XLR to 1/8" convert to stereo for you.

No not really, i had the same problem with this, there might be a solution somewhere, but I haven't found any. I just use an external audio recorder with Xlr inputs, I don't use these adapters anymore

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.

There are two mic inputs to use. I did not try it but you should be able to.

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?

You need 'line level' not 'mic level' inputs on the PC, otherwise the signal will be way too strong and, thus, distorted (mic output is much lower than line output). Most basic PCs, especially laptops, have 'mic in' and not 'line in' (the laptop I'm typing this on right now doesn't even have a 'mic in'). If you have a soundcard with 'line in' inputs, then you could do it. Having said all that, it might be possible to adjust the signal with Audacity using 'mic in', so that it doesn't distort, but I am guessing. I just know from using Cakewalk (precursor to Sonar) in the old days that it didn't work like that. You could try it and report back on your experience, good or bad.

I haven't had this problem other than a con-call with someone who accidentally had muted his mic. All I can suggest is that you check your sound system. It doesn't sound like a problem you are going to be able to fix at your end.

are you using any kind of channel mixer? Or are you going straight into a powered speaker? I find that when you don't use a mixer, you have less control. If you are using a mixer, try lowering the bass to near 0. That being said, once you have a grip on the mic, it shouldn't be making noises, if you're getting noises when being passed around from hand to hand, then all I can say is that you'll get that with almost any mic this price range.

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

Looks like someone's already answered and he's correct. It will create a mono signal which, depending on your needs, might not work for you.

In my usage it does not work with an inline mic, but rather the build in mic only.

Keep in mind that the left mic input will record on the left stereo track and the right mic input will record on the right stereo track. Check each input separately to make sure each is working. You can also see each mic output in the center LED display. Also make sure your connections are good. You could have a bad XLR cable. Try switching cables if there is a problem. If all else fails, replace the device!

Go into your computer settings to the output setting and make sure it is set to your headphones. Also, check the mic settings and check external mic (your headphones mic).

Hi Timothy. Well...if you're using one of these as a mixing studio monitor one thing you could try is: in your DAW, on your master channel, insert a simple plug-in that has a "mono"-izing switch. In Logic Pro 9 the gain plugin has a mono button. In FL studio you could use stereo shaper OR turn the "stereo spread" knob anti-clock-wise to mono the signal. I'm sure there are other ways of doing that in other DAWs. OR, you could buy a monitor controller that has a Dedicated "mono" button. OR you could what I do: I have a mackie mixer that all my inputs AND outputs from my computer are routed to. So in my mixing board, the outputs of my computer run into channels x and y. on both of those i set my AUX 4 out (which is wired as mono on my board) to Unity gain. Then i connected my C50A to the AUX 4 out. Now, any time i need to check my mix in mono, i just turn down my main control room monitors, and turn up my AUX4 send master knob, and boom - i hear my mix in mono. On my board there is also a "Mono Mix" output, but it's volume control is at the back of the mixer, so the AUX knob is easier for me to grab. So there is both a software and one type of hardware solution. I Hope that info is helpful. Good luck!

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

The output from your mixer should go to the mic or line input jack. The link output is to daisy chain to another monitor.

If your signal is mono, it will only record as mono. You can split the signal into two channels, but it's still going to be mono
