Is the mic sensitive enough where I can keep it about 4 ft from me to be heard or must I speak right into it

I think the cord will only allow it to be maybe 18-24" away from the computer...I use mine about 12-18" and that's fine. I would not assume 4 feet would work unless you speak loudly and the ambient noise is nil. Just a guess though.

Yes, it can be placed on a desk for dictation. For superior recording quality, speak clearly and have suitable sound-absorbing material stop sound from bouncing around your recording space.

Yes. I usually keep it on my desk about 3 feet from where I sit, and people tell me fairly often that I have a really high quality mic. It's probably the best microphone I've ever owned. I have to keep it on a small cloth pad to prevent it from picking up the vibrations from my computer through the desk.

I have not had people have trouble hearing me on the Motorola Whisper, including my hard-of-hearing father. The microphone extends to be closer to your mouth.

I absolutely love this devise and now have to for our Law Firm and I'm about to buy one more. To answer your question it'll work well if the microphone is centrally placed. Well worth the money...

Its about 4 inches and if that's not long enough its sensitive so it can hear you

Yes it's quite sensitive, and software (included) can greatly improve the volume levels. That being said, definitely choose a quiet room, and consider renting or buying a lavolier mic (not sure if I spelled that right) or an interview mic. Rhode makes a nice interview mic, but if it's just her you really want to record speaking, I'd suggest the lapel mic (lavolier). Hope this helps!

This unit will not interfer with your vision nor will it impair your audio. The instructions that come with it show you how to place the mic near the corner of your mouth (approx 6 inches out).

This is a good dynamic mic but is anti-feedback. Meaning ambient noise is filtered out. 1-5" is ideal.

The audio is 'ok' at best. If the room is small and there is only one or two people talking it is fine. If you have a larger room or lots of speakers, I would recommend a dedicated mic. We used a Crown PZM-11 mic with excellent results.

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

The Phonak Remote Mic has a range of 30-40 feet. It is high-quality, but line-of-sight.

No. I'm satisfied with its built-in mic. Sensitive enough to pick up person's voice 20 feet away.

It varies with how loud you actually voice. for example if you are very soft spoken person you will have to bring them closer to your mouth. However if you scream you can actually pull these mics about 12 inches away from your face and they should pick up beautifully

I have the camera mounted outside (weather protected) and connected to a computer that uses a good quality surround speaker system with EQ control for fine audio adjustment. Audio from the camera is reasonably good over an acceptable frequency range. The omni-directional mic is quite sensitive and picks up sounds from more than 150 ft away (as you would want from a Security cam). Conversations at that distance are very intelligible as long as the ambient background noise is not extreme.

only if you are all speaking loudly...i mean it will pick all 3 of you up, but for best sound i've discovered that about a 1 - 3 inch distance dirrectly in front of the mic works best.

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

Absolutely. There are levels of sensitivity in the mic and it can capture good quality sound from several yards away.

it actually works pretty good. 20 feet isn't that far for even your stock mic to pic that up.. This mic def will get better sound,, and for the price it, its worth it..
