The cord is unshielded. It works great going directly into a camera, but if you put a long lead (like for a boom pole) it will hum/buzz.

This microphone produces an internal noise, sort of close to a high B above middle C. It's good for a shotgun technique for things like Youtube videos, but I wouldn't use it for production level videos. Here's a stupid video I did with this mic. Notice the hum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0EJul05cIo

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

I would try it because I'm using it to switch between an Apple and home built computer that has external speakers and headphones... I don't hear static and it rocks pretty good... Read the return policy and go for it!!! It works for my needs

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

Does it take other microphones to make the quality of the recording better. If it does, what works?

No it humms at times , i upgraded to a xlr mic which is better I suggest that over a USB well not this one, it was good to start off

It depends on the recorder you plug this in to. It's just a microphone not a recorder. We have many different recorders available for this solution. Let us know more details on your preferences.

Honestly the suck. I hooked it up to my sound system it lasted about a month before my records didnt sound right. Your better off getting a older used one. If you wanna record on your computer get audacity or soundwave and a rca to 3.5mm cord and plug in the the mic port.

Does the camera have and XLR balanced in put? If it is only 1/8 mini jack input this mic will not work.

I purchased it to use in live streaming and have not used it yet for that purpose. But, I did run some initial tests with it to see how it sounded with and without it. My results were done using my iPod touch 4th generation. Using the Blue Mikey gave my recordings more clarity with less room noise. I still need to test it with loud music playing in the recording since I want to use it for live streaming worship nights with my band. I think this mic would work for you pretty well for the purpose that you mentioned.

My experience is that it is a great recording mic. It was not meant for live performances as the design is sensitive to movement hence the rubber suspension holding mechanism to reduce vibrations. Good Luck.

A good mic for performing, not sure about recording. I typically use a condenser mic for recording.

I would imagine it could be but I've never used it for something like that. Condenser mics are less robust than dynamic mics so if you are rough with them they break a lot easier but they do pick up a lot more. So it might be good for choir and instruments but it also might be prone to feeding back since it's more sensitive, you would have to take care with the volume levels. Again I've never used it live so I'm sorry I can't conclusively answer your question.

From my experience with any kind of Mic, trying to record clear sound at a concert is damn near impossible. I've occasionally used the Mic to record movies played in class that were louder than the lecture overall and it still came out Crystal clear. I'm not sure of the quality with concert music though. Definitely use that black puffy protector that the product comes in. It'll filter out some of the noise. Sorry that I'm not much help.

As far as I can tell from some basic tests, pretty good, although I have not yet had a chance to try this mic in a live performance. I had contact with Rodemic about this microphone because of the handling noise and their recommendation was to set the mic to +20db and the recording level of the mic in the camera to low. This way you will prevent noise resulting from the average camera circuitry. Obviously, if you arerecording very loud music, like in a rock concert, you might want to lower the mic input level. Just a matter of experimenting, I guess.

I can't address any issues with this mic. as I bought it for my grandson's camera when filming deer hunts. I haven't heard anything negative from him, but am sure I would if it didn't perform well for him.

The microphone seems to be very good quality but I'm not sure if it will work well for your application.

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....
