If I were to attach this from my sony hgfm somthin mic to my canon vixia hf m30, would low quality sound be made?

I've used this type of cable several times in the past without problems to extend a mic. cable. However if you're in a location where you pick up a hum you'll need to use the more expensive XLR type of microphone and cable.

Not at all for me. If you really want the best quality sound, your better off with long single cable rather than multiple ones.

Yes, i do, and it works perfectly fine with this cable. I have a canon 600d with magic lantern installed on it. Even if the internal sound amplifier of this model can't do a very good job, you still can rise a little bit of sound recording level (almost zero gain), but boost the volume with mic itself. I have been using a hahnel mk200 dslr microphone for ambience sound recording or a sennheiser wireless lavalier microphone for voice recording. It is necessary to attach a sound amplifier to the output of the sescom cable to get reliable sound monitoring, it can be used a FiiO E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier.

You are probably right! In any event the sound was not acceptable. You may want to re-consider purchasing an external phantom powered unit to power your microphones.

Yes. I use the camera input audio. Make sure you use a high gain microphone for best results. I'm using a Creative Sounds boom microphone.

Yes if your camera has an XLR mic input. If you do go wireless I would steer you towards the Sennheiser ew 100 setup. That's what I did and you can't beat the quality.

I'm using the "Rode VIDEOMIC Directional Shotgun Mic w/Mount" with my canon hg10. Is not that expensive, exhibits low noise and offers a switchable high pass filter to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble. I truly recommend you this product.

To add onto the other comment -- Yes, but this product is very cheaply made (picks up a lot of noise/static). Also, I had a bad experience with this particular seller. I suggest investing in a preamp (which provides power for your mic) to get the most out of your microphone. Especially a MXL. That's what I ended up doing and it was the best move.

I'm using it with a Vixia R500 which is basically the same camera. Works surprisingly well for an inexpensive microphone. You will probably want to turn off the automatic gain control.

I would not rely on this mic for a high quality recording, or even a decent recording. Especially not for micing amplifiers or acoustic instruments. Get a cheap MXL condenser mic.

if your camcorder has a mic input 1/8 or 1/4 inch size then it should but it probably won't sound very good, but I guess it depends on what type of audio you are trying to record. This is basically a karaoke mic.

Sure. Your camera is equipped with a standard size flash mount which this mike fits. There's also a tighten down wheel on the mount so the mike will be stable regardless of your camera's position during shooting. I get excellent quality audio with mine. Be sure though to do testing with your mike before actually shooting with it. I've found the mike works best, at least on my Canon, in the auto level setting. That means, and you probably know this, you don't have to adjust the audio levels because the camera does this. Also my camera doesn't seek a level so it gives me excellent results. Good luck

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens.Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html

Yes, just make sure your camera is set to line in (as opposed to mic in) since your mixer will have its own gain controls. You should also be aware that even though this cable works well and is of good quality, movement of it during recording will likely result in audible noise, so if your camera is tripod mounted you'll be fine, but if you're using it handheld you may want to get an 1/8" extension cable so the splitter is away from the movement.

I tried to use it for a project. We tried a high end mic (sorry the manufactuer of the mic escapes me). It wasn't working and we chalked it up to defective mic. Later my colleague did some research and it turns out the camera wasn't putting out enough wattage for the mic.

I use it with a Vixia HF 21 and it works. That is as much as I can tell you.

Hopefully I'm understanding the question correctly, but if you're using an external recorder for your primary audio, it won't matter a bit. This thing is on the output side of that device. If you're putting it between a pre-amp of some sort like a JuicedLink or whatever, then there might be some loss. On the other hand, if you want good audio, the in-camera recorder isn't the place to get it anyway.

Yes it would work, however it is important what type of mic you use... a quality mis it the key.
