How far will the microphone reach from the receiver? or Is there a certain range that works best?

It has a pretty good range. About 6ft away. Static does come into play at times. It's not compatible with my newer Karaoke machine. I will have to try it with my older model.

The MXL picks up voices with surprising clarify from 15-20 feet away and more. It is very small and compact. You should use a set of speakers that can connect to the MXL via 3.5mm cable. Then it becomes a mic and speakers combo. I think you will find this device very useful as I have. :)

Only when more than 5-6 feet from the receiver. Otherwise, no problem. Disappointing if you plan to hook your laptop up to a big tv and sketch from a distance.

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..

The mic worked fine with other recording equipment I have. I couldn't tell you if the problem was in the wireless transmitter one wears or the receiver which would be attached to the recorder, but the sound recorded was terrible whether you were 2 feet or 20 feet from the the receiver. It's been a few years since I bought mine and threw it away. The only thing I kept was the mic. If you want a system that's reliable. This is not for you. I have since bought an Audio-technica, which I am very happy with.

I'm using the Logitech HBS730 and get about 20 feet in my apartment. If I cover the headset with an open hand, it'll cut out. In other words, the range isn't so great. I remember reading somewhere that antenna length is crucial - it has to be a specific length. I only remember that these tiny dongles just aren't big enough to house an antenna that will give you good range.

Need more information. Can you attach a mic to the person? How far away will you be? How much ambient noise will there be?For general purpose use I like the Rode Video Mic.

Line out from your wireless mic receiver into the top left mic input (xlr or 1/4") or either of the two 1/4" inputs on the back (line 4 or 5)

Hey there. The range is about 30 feet through walls. In an office environment you can typically get about 40-45 feet. 100m is about 300 feet...so you're going to need some serious transmission power for something to cover that large of a distance with good sound quality. It CAN be done...but it will cost a lot more than $159.

As said, it depends on the distance, but if you can hear it yourself, the mic will pick it up. You may want to increase the sensitivity to +20db, though. In any case set your camcorder's mic level as low as possible, or you will get a lot of noise. This is in general a good idea from my experience (I am using a Sony CX730)

Not very far. Maybe ten feet not even. This isn't a professional mic by any means really, just a slightly better substitute to your internal camera mic.

Mic goes into transmitter, receiver needs to be connected to some sort of sound system.

This unit would be OK for a group of up to about 30 people from a range of 20 to 30 feet away from the speaker. The unit I received had a microphone that was fairly insensitive and I had to speak very loud to get full output from the speaker.

Should work, but may cause distortion (signal overload) if all speaking at once or mic too close -- i think. though never done myselgf

Have not tried a maximum distance. Did get bird sounds from about 15 feet using mic on a tripod. Had mic plugged into a Sony digital camcorder. Was recording a bird nest in a tree in my front yard. Birds were quite loud, 3 young in nest all chirping at the same time.

If it's the only mic you're using, probably back in the room, about 8-10 feet away. Make sure you're compressing the hell out of the signal... I've never tried this on drums but wouldn't be surprised if it's too sensitive and is prone to distortion. I haven't seen a USB mic that can handle a drum kit. A better drum/general purpose mic is the Rode stereo mic... The Rode iXy is great too. But the Apogee is the best sounding USB mic I've ever used by far for vocals.

It really depends on how far you want to transmit. It works great within the room, regardless of line of sight. You might get some chop if you get outside of the room depending on where you have the receiver. Mine is buried behind a heavy wood dresser, so it doesn't like when I go too far outside the room. I'm thrilled with mine though, it's perfect for my purposes.
