can I use this mic with an normal sound recorder like Zoom H4 or Tascam DR-05 or other?

Yes, it will work with most sound recorders. I have three different devices, and I use it on my mobile phone. It is very versatile.
2082706
Yes. It's a regular headphone jack. I got it for my iPhone to record audio. I suggest after getting it take off the metal clasp/spacer for a better connection.

BEWARE! I'm not sure how the others got this to work, but I've tried 2 of these pics with a standard consumer camcorder, a mixer and several other devices. I think the Sennheiser must have a different pin configuration because the sound does NOT go through.

We use this mic with a Tascam CD recorder, no problems. We a currently running the mic through a Presonus digital board, then to the recorder. If you try to go direct to your recording device, I would recommend you try it first at the -30 db attenuation, then work your way up. Hope this helps.

I'm slightly confused as to what you're asking. I'm not familiar with the Zoom H6 Recorder, but I'm assuming you're using this for podcasting based on you saying "discussion." The way this device works is that you connect it into the headphone port of the recording device. Any headphones connected to the Microamp will hear everything you're recording.

I use my TASCAM iXZ with an iPhone 5 and an iPad mini. I have not used that particular mic before. The unit will handle mikes with XLR connection, and also can provide phantom power if you need that. It should work out for you just fine. ( Several years back when I was working in radio during and after college I used some Sennheisers and those were great mics! )

I'm not a Zoom nor Sennheiser salesperson. but my hunch is this mic will work with your recorder. That said, there are cheaper mic alternatives out there. This ME2 is probably about the same cost as the zoom unit itself; it's ideally meant for the Sennheiser EW 100 series belt packs. Also bear in mind plugging in any passive mic signal will require phantom power (input voltage boost) to recognize signal. This will most likely impact your battery life - something to think about. Check out this youtube video for whatever passive mini (1/8") mic you plug into the unit (if the link doesn't display, search youtube for "Zoom H2n Exernal Microphone" - the author forgot the t in external): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC5_2LYVoPc Good luck.

Using this mic or the Zooms mic? No reason you can't pass a signal through the zoom. The adapter is a mini stereo input so any mic source can feed through

I'm not sure but in any case I wouldn't buy it just because of its severely limited compatibility. Ideally you want a mic that will plug into anything and work. This isn't it.

A Zoom H1 is a great, relatively simple choice. If you think you will be going into other audio that might require XLR inputs, you might want to spring for the Zoom H4 instead. That will give you 2 XLR inputs into which you can plug other microphones.

Yes, you can. Best if using XLR for L/R, but it also accepts 1/4" inputs. Make sure line level out and may have to tweak gain on mixer out and on recorder in.

Yes, make sure you select it as your default audio output with the USB dongle. If not you can buy a cable where you connect the red&white plugs into it and it comes out as a dual 3.5mm output for audio and input for microphone.

I don't see why you couldn't connect it if you have a 3.5 mm adapter, although I have never done that before. Not sure how it sounds when recording but to give you a suggestion, you might want to look for a different product because to me it doesn't seem like a good choice if you're trying to record a voice or something else. It's mostly good for live situations, like if you're plugging it into an amp to have a jam session. Hope this helps!

You should. Though I haven't tried it I don't see why you couldn't run one mic into the xlr input and run another into the 1/4. But make sure you use phantom power. Great question though. I'll have to try it out myself
2037274
yes, this mic requires phantom power. Don't know whether or not your cable requirements will work or not. This link has some more info on using xlr to 1/4 cables - http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=118204

Sorry but no. Like most similar recorders, plugging onto one of the connectors from an external source disables the built-in mics. To do what you are asking requires an external mixer.

I suppose it could, but I think a regular microphone would serve better. This device could easily over modulate the recorders circuit, making a horrible recording. It does not enhance the available sound more than any properly adjusted microphone. You would need something more on the order of a parabolic or directional mic for that.

For recording live music, I have used an external Zoom recorder which then fed the audio input of the GH3. Because the Zoom's levels were already hot, I had to turn down the sensitivity of the GH3 audio ins and also cut the output of the Zoom otherwise a nasty limiter effect from the GH3 would engage. With the GH3, be careful not to record too hot even with the on-board mics which are just OK. I also used a Stereo Video Mic Pro from Rode but did not use the +20 db setting as it would have been too hot. Bottom line, GH3 has plenty of it's own preamp gain so if using external mics, be careful of overloading your levels and turn down the GH3's sensitivity.

No. This mic is a professional condenser mic and requires 48v phantom power on an XLR connector. If you want to use this mic with a comptuer, the best way is with an interface like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00154KSA2 or instead, you can just us a good USB mic like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5ZX9FM

Sure. Just remember that it is a battery powered mic and you'll need to use the Mic-In port on your computer audio interface or set the audio control software (if available) to treat whatever line-in you're using as a mic level input.
