yes, you will need additional equipment. If you want something that plugs directly into the mac you want a USB mic. The other poster is not accurate, you dont just need phantom power, you need an a/d converter as well (which is included in the profire 2626). There are lots of different boxes with that capability, but if you want to plug directly into the mac, get a usb mic.

You will need a phantom power source to use the mic. I record via my ProFire 2626 into my MacBook Pro, and the ProFire unit provides this power source. There are probably other power supplies you can buy for less if you don't want to go that route.

You might have to get special drivers. What I would do is look online for the drivers for this mic, if the drivers are available for the mac you have than it is completely safe to use. If not than you would be taking a risk with the product.

No, this is not a usb Mic. You need a preamp or midi input that will in turn conned to your mac.

Video has to record to a pc or Mac using their software. Recording time depends on space on pc. Came with mounts but never used

I've got a 2013 MBP with the latest OSX software. I have never tried using their software, but do you need to? If you connect the camera to the laptop (via USB), it acts as a hard drive and you can import the videos onto your laptop. Unless you need the software to perform something specific, it's not necessary.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

This camera sits there and records, nothing else. You can record footage using a host PC or Macintosh, by using EasyCAP for Mac or Windows Media Encoder for Windows. Both programs are free of charge, available on the internet. I would not recommend recording for very long though because the uncompressed file size is giant.

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

Yes they have firmware and recording for OSX devices, but my Macbook Pro only sends out a HDCP signal which renders this device useless. It just won't record.

It records anything you can run through the composite and s-video inputs. You can also have input sounds be played by the speakers and have a recording program capture the voice and game. I have no idea if it works with Mac

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

Yes you do need some kind of audio interface that has 1/4 inch or RCA outputs. Then the device should have either FireWire or USB...you may need a FireWire to thunderbolt cable because the new Mac may not have FireWire. Hope this helps

Hello, in order to record with this microphone you will need an usb audio interface that has 48v phontom power to power the microphone. Just search audio interface and you will find plenty of them in a wide variety of prices.

Remove the SDXC card from the video recorder. Put it in the SC card slot on the Mac.... BAM!! iMove, iPhoto, and other software that run on the Mac will use the data off the card. :) I have OS-10.9.3 running.

The Mini Recorder doesn't actually record! It converts the SDI/HDMI video and audio feed from your video source and makes it available via Thunderbolt to your Mac or PC to record in your video application (or the Blackmagic Design Media Express application). Don't know of anything that can do what you are after.
