A boom mic is excellent or a Microphone For Sony ECM-NV1 DSR-250P HVR-Z1C PANASONIC AJ-MC700P HMC-173MC JJC. I purchased it last year and it works very well.

Yeah, totally! You just need a mic obviously and some software. Audacity should work fine, which is free. Just plug this in to a USB port, plug the mic in, set everything up, and hit record.

That really depends on what you need. If you need the absolute best in recording quality, you could easily spend thousands of dollars on a better sounding mic. If you need a less expensive mic, again there are plenty. That being said it produces a good sound, has good gain control, is very portable, very sturdy, and it does the job for a semi-pro portable mic.

You could use just about any interface that accepts the standard 3-pin XLR cable, presonus,tascam,apollo,UA all would work Please be aware this mic requires 24v phantom power.Get the best quality XLR cable you can afford to connect mic to interface

Depends on your budget and application (mostly budget). Go to a music store and try a few mics.

Honestly, if I were you, I'd spend the money on a better mic. If you get a boxy sound in your booth, either you're getting too far from the mic, or the mic isn't that good. This product won't change any of that.

The pc320 is perfect for that. The mic swivels to a little over 90° so you'll have ample room if you put the cans around your neck.

If you're mic is using an unbalanced 1/4" cable. However most are XLR. I would suggest something from TC Helicon for vocals.

such a microphone will work. the criterion are a stereo (as opposed to mono) microphone and a 3.5mm plug which this mic is equipped with.

I would guess the cordless mics would be better but also MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. I have since added a couple other EXACT mics like the Audio-Technica ATR 3350's for other guests on my program. We are NOT singers but for clear speaking audio, I have NO COMPLAINTS..

Rode VideoMic Pro (not the other two non-pro versions, which are not better than TM700's built-in mic) seems to be your best choice. $229 from B&H.

Fine. Whatever microphone you are going to be using is going to have a far greater effect on the recording quality.

I was thinking of using this microphone for something else. What type or size of plug in does it have?

That would depend on your situation. I would suggest a combination of a lav and a shotgun. If you have both and record to separate channels, you're covered. Sometimes lav mics pick up body noise/shirt rubbing etc...a shotgun mic will get the best results generally... This is a great little machine. Great options and quality for the price-point.

Does it take other microphones to make the quality of the recording better. If it does, what works?

I would get the highest quality you can afford. This is fine for hobbyist quality but if you want professional type recording I would think you need something better
