I am struggling with mounting the microphones. I soldered the "tabs" to the board, but can not get the solder to solidly connect the mikes to tabs.

The problem is the case for the microphones is made of alum. The only thing you can do is try to get tabs as tight as you can to the solder post. That was the only way I could make mine work the only other way I can think of is buy a different type of microphone that does no require the tabs on the case to touch the post. If you can't make it work write me back and I see if I can help you more.

The trick is to make a solid mechanical connection. The microphone elements have a double tab on one side that you can use to bend around the pin you mounted on the board, and you can twist the other tab out a bit to wedge against the other pin. This will let you apply heat to both pin and tab with the soldering iron. You will also need to apply heat for longer than just about any other joint to get the solder to flow. Without the solid mechanical connection, you'll either be heating the tab or the pin instead of the whole joint, so even if solder flows, it'll only bond correctly with one of them.

The trick is to put it so that the pin and the tab on the microphone go around the negative post - you can bend it so that it holds better. Once it's mechanically stable, solder up and it'll hold forever.

I seem to recall inserting the tabs into the holes then bending the tabs so the microphone is solidly affixed to the pcb. Then I soldered the tabs.

I installed mine on a Bourgeois myself. The end pin hole must be enlarged, so just put some painter's tape over it before you drill. The rest of the installation is glue pad and velcro. You may have to play with the acoustic mic by moving it around until you find the best spot.

Could be the Connecting cord attached to the mic, or a Program error within the Mic, or If you have a Linux Like me, Incompatibility issues, It's been a while since I used this mic and It only really worked with my Camera. I'd Say purchase a Different Mic, or experiment connecting it to other devices, and if you have another Connector cord try that too. Hope that Helps

That should not happen if you have the cables in the correct holes. You must have inserted the cables in the wrong holes. If you insert the cables in the correct connection, your karaoke will work. Just keep trying.

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

Are you running Windows 7? I ran into some problems trying to get the microphone to work on Windows 7 but would be happy to show you how to do it if needed

Good luck with that, this mic quality is horrible. I've tried everything they suggested and still ended with the same result. Bad mic quality.

Make sure that you don't have the black plug in the mic jack, they are reversible. Try the other way and see if that works. If that doesn't you need to go to control panel and check the setting there. There should be an icon on the bottom right of the task bar that will bring those settings up.

Try turning on the "PAD" button that is just above the microphone input for whatever channel your putting your wireless mic in.I've had a similar issue with the wireless system that we use with this sound system and the "PAD" button has worked for us. Be warned, you will have to increase the volume but it helps filter much of the feedback issues.

We did not have good luck with our mics. We have Bell with pull down shields. The mics fell off; wouldn't stay attached. Horrible. We were riding one day and my mic was dangling in the wind. We don't use them anymore. Hope that helps.

If you're mic is using an unbalanced 1/4" cable. However most are XLR. I would suggest something from TC Helicon for vocals.

Yeah have a modmic attached to mine. It works well. I have it on the opposite side as the main cable. No these so not come with a mic plug.

Going to need some more info to really know what the problem may be, have you at least ran the set up wizard with the included microphone yet or color matched the copper cables into the right slots?

There's really 4 possible problem I can think of. 1) The clothe that is use to cover the box is not tight or not put on properly. 2) you have your speaker wire inside the box too long. What I did, I twist the wires together until it was nice and tight then I hook it to the terminal. 3) The terminal cap itself is loose, to check this just hold the terminal firm with one hand from the inside of the box, with your other hand reach around and try to wiggle it. IF it wiggle then its loose. If this is the case, a quick fix is just pop off the terminal cap and paste a small amount of silicone around the terminal and pop it back in. 4) lastly, check if there's any crack inside the box. This will let air out when you have your bass on and it will make the clothe around the box flap around..........Well hope that help..

The swivel mount has a screw on connection that fits a shock mount. I do not see a place to mount a mic without some way to attach it. Rode.com could give you a more detailed answer about how to handle that. Frankly, you probably should be using a shock mount to get the best sound....worst case there's always duct tape...:) just kidding. kk voicebender.com

This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much. BUT, when I plug a mic into the line in, it doesn't work. I've gone through it to see if I have to tell it to use the line in and from what I can tell, it should be using it but I can only get the onboard mics to pic up sound. I have a TASCAM GB10 for my guitar and that thing kicks ass. I thought this was going to be another version of that but there's no guitar input as stated.As far as capacity it's all up to how much space you load into it. You use SD cards so if you put in a 2GB, I highly doubt you're going to record a set. So just get as big of a card as possible. This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much.
