How can I plug in an external microphone to it? Thank you!

The simple answer is you can't, at least not one with a 3.5 mm jack. It's the reason I returned my camera and swapped it out for a different model. I liked the camera, but for my purposes, I needed a mic input. This one didn't have one. Sorry.

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

There is no external audio input. I just use a separate audio recording system and sync it back into the video during post production. Unfortunate, but at this price? It's worth it.

There is an "audio in" jack on the unit but I have not used it yet. I have not seen a jack for a microphone.

You might want to invest in a USB mixing board. Then you plug your mic into this unit, plug the output into the mixing board and then connect the mixing board to your computer.

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

Dose not have a auxiliary input jack for that, just the connection for the external mic.

Yes, make sure you select it as your default audio output with the USB dongle. If not you can buy a cable where you connect the red&white; plugs into it and it comes out as a dual 3.5mm output for audio and input for microphone.

You could use the analog adapter, and pick up a stereo mic mixer. That's the only thing that comes to mind.

Hi Ron, My husband has used it more than I have. He says it does have a port to hook up an external microphone as well as the built in one. Hope this helps. It has worked well for the purpose we bought it for.

You would use one of the audio inputs for plugging in this microphone. Most systems have a setting for mapping which microphone input goes to which camera. You would use the output to output audio to an external speaker for live playback of audio. You would have to have a speaker with an rca type connector to do so.

There is no MIC input on this unit, one may find a way to connect USB sound device (which offers Mic input) to the existing USB port but that will be a long shot.

Sorry but no. Like most similar recorders, plugging onto one of the connectors from an external source disables the built-in mics. To do what you are asking requires an external mixer.

Just in case you haven't noticed, there is a USB version of this microphone. Here is the link: Audio-Technica AT2020USB PLUS Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone Good luck.

You need to have a microphone preamp and an xlr cable. You can interface this microphone with a pc by using one of the many usb audio interfaces available today such as the focusrite 2i2 or the tascam us122. There are a ton of options.
