Does the 9460 come with a longer or shorter microphone? I purchased the mono 9470 and don't like the sound quality with the shorter microphone.

John Z., I purchased a 9460 because I have a 9400BS at work and love it. Both they units have a longer microphone boom with a foam tip.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

I definitely received only one microphone, clip, and windscreen, in a black case. This is not for two microphones. For the same price ($99) I ordered a pair off of monoprice.com and they actually sound better in my humble opinion.

This is a good mic,no doubt, but I would go for a E935 or a Shure Beta 58 for extra high end.

Pro studios seem to always have two. I have only one but it has made a tremendous difference. Two would give you a stereo field, of course, but I like that it's always in mono because I'm mixing with bluetooth mono speakers in mind. I don't know if the studios get two out of habit and access to cash or if I'm missing something important in my setup. You can certainly start with one and get another later if you feel you're missing something important.

I bought this mike as a backup for our Sennheiser wireless mike at church. It is only mono. When I record to make a CD, I use a mono to 1/8" stereo adapter to input in the PC to get a left and right channel, so the sound will come out of both speakers. Otherwise it would only be left channel.

This is a Mono microphone. What do you expect? ....solution for you, simply go to radio shack and get a mono to stereo jack adapter. Costs a couple of bucks. I purchased mine on-online.

Never shopped for a replacement headset for this amplifier -- but was extremely pleased to find out that we had an existing small stand-type microphone about 4" high that plugged in and worked great. My brother preferred it to the headset which can be uncomfortable. I'm not very "techy" but if you have any other kind of microphone that fits the plug-in, you might be right back in business without shopping and spending more money. Hope this helps.

It really depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. We went with one of Rode's higher end mics and put an Apogee Jam in the middle for higher quality sound. We bought everything for about $500.

It's just one microphone, so it's mono, but it has a stereo plug, so it puts the same audio on both channels, if you're recording stereo. If you try record to an iPhone or something similar, the microphone's 3.5mm connector will only make contact with the headphone out, so it won't work (the phone will record from its own mike). Others here are saying that a mono adapter works.

I bought a $60 or $70 audio-technica shotgun mic from full compass (fullcompass.com). The mic itself is great (very directional, good sound quality). Shotgun mics are the kind the pros use on a boom pole, but you can use it however you want. The only thing is that my SR1 creates a noticeable buzzing noise in the audio whenever it's recording. Some other people have the same problem. I'm waiting on that firmware update from sony to see if it helps. Just keep this in mind before you go spending a lot of money on a mic.

TO be honest, I have not done a comparison between the two. But what I have found is that the built-in mic is of good quality for voice recording, even in a largish room. It has worked fine for me. I recorded in the mode where it just records when it has a voice to record. Been happy with this product.

Shawn, this mic is pretty great. I use it occasionally when I don't want to wear my gaming headset. It offers good voice communications and to help you, I've measured the mic - the cord is exactly 6 feet long. I also decided to test the quality of this mic upon first receiving it. Your voice can be picked up by this mic if you are WHISPERING even ~6 feet away. So if you have the mic pointing in the general direction you are, it will work fantastic... though your voice may sound like it is a couple feet away... if you are, of course. Overall, it's a great mic they threw in with this sound card! Hope this helped, take care!

It comes with 2. One is a more traditional mic that you would find on a gaming headset. The other is a small mic that barely sticks out that I believe is supposed to be used while you are mobile. When I used the headset I never got any complaints about the quality of the mic and it seemed to work quite well.

yes, it has a better microphone, different design, and I think it has better quality. If you're really unsure then just go on their site: theflip.com. (Duh!)

The microphone can handle high SPL. If it distorts, there may be something you need to adjust in the mixer or P.A.

Though you have likely made your decision, I upgraded from a 3602 (a model that's superior to the 3080 on paper) and could tell the difference with the 3908. It was night and day. I would even wager that this system is superior to a more expensive setup, like a Bose Companion 3 (from what I've heard in person) for instance. Though some would tell you Bose is overpriced/average quality, it's one of the few premium sets I have listened to.
