Anyone know what the difference is between this microphone and the Peerless Performer? Thanks!

The peerless Performer Has much more bells and whistles. Where as the Idol Maker is just VERY basic. Applause, a few tunes and that's it. No lights, only one or two kids of cheering rather than 4. Like I said it is very basic, But my niece and little girls don't care if it has a disco ball with lights or not. And I read on the reviews that the lights drain the batteries with the Peerless Performer.

Unidirectional microphone. Catches almost the only voice. But there is no noise reduction. Everything will depend only on your sound card.

The smaller mixer would be better, but for the small price difference you can get a lot more future versatility from this mixer. As is stated, the phantom power on this mixer works great to power a condenser mic. This is the main reason I got it, and the mic preamps are very nice for the price. If you're using for recording, it's perfect. And you have a number of options for output. I record with it hooked through an external USB sound interface into a PC, and it works great.

The different models are on different bands. They are basically the same microphone otherwise.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

the mic records in stereo and sounds much better than the mic that is built in. When the mic is plugged in it only records from the Rode and once it is unplugged you go back to the on board mic. You can NOT use both.

I've owned both and used them with several microphones, including the V01A and a higher end Neumann. In every case, I've preferred the MicPort Pro. The sound is cleaner and warmer, there's almost no hiss, and the thing's durable. I've had my MicPort for several years and still use it as a back up when I travel. I donated the Micmate to a high school drama program. The cord's short on the MicPort Pro and the Phantom Power button is tiny. Still, those are minor complaints. I would, however, invest in a longer cable if you're trying to keep your computer (and computer noise) away from the microphone.

You have what we call a 48v Phantom Power Mic Which means... Firat of all ots a great mic and second, you need serious power puahing the mic to it's potential and that can only be achieved with an 'Audio Interface.' The a sort of mic you have is to good and powerful to just be powered with a simple cable such as this. I ran into the same problem. I learnt the hard way as well.

I own both microphones and the only difference I could find between the two is the capsule size. they work ok the capsules will overload pretty easily. also the connectors are very funky. They make a universal connector that does not work very well. You will have to tape them to keep them from making noise. For a little bit more money I would recommend the Galaxy Audio HSE Unidirectional Single Ear Hook Earset Microphone. I own all 3 headsets the Galaxy sounds much better and the connectors are custom to each manufacture. Not one universal connector that you have to try to tape to keep from making connection noise. I ended up replacing all my SE50 and SE10 cables with the Galaxy replacement cables. The replacement cables are about $50 each so by time you're done you might as well had bought the galaxy headset you'll be a much happier person even though it's a little bit more expensive. I hope you find this helpful. I see the SE50 and the galaxy are the same price. I would definitely go with the Galaxy

Those are basically different bandwidth ranges. They are important to know if you already have a treansmitter and are replacing a microphone ore vice versa. The other important thing is if you are accumulating a lot of wireless mics you may need to vary the ranges to keep the transmissions clear.

Nothing else. All the other equipment is the same as for any other mic. The mixer with phantom power is required, but most mixers provide it by default.

I received a Konami one, and I actually prefer it over the official "Rockband" on that came with the game. That being said I don't actually play Rockband with it, my wife and I play Ultrastar Deluxe Word Party (Karaoke, very similar to Singstar, but for PC); this microphone seems to have a better feel in the hand and seems every bit as responsive as the one from our Rockband game.

The plus has a headphone jack on the mic. The timing of your recording will be closer to the track that your are listening to. I record a song on one track using my guitar, then plug my headphones into the input jack on the mic while recording the singing track. Without the plus, I can use the headphone jack on my PC, but I must do a slight adjustment to the 2nd track to line up with the guitar timing. So basically, the plus has a more accurate timing while listening through a headphone on the mic. The sound quality should be the same.

There are two XLR connections, one for each channel. There is one 1/4 inch output that is balanced output of both channels. I use the balanced 1/4 inch as I just use the mics for speaking and I don't have to adjust anything for each mic. If you want to use them for singing then the XLR on each is the way to connect them.

I don't know. I purchased this microphone, plugged it into my iPhone, and tried recording. I could not tell any difference from recording with the internal microphone. But then the real problem: when I attempted to pull out the microphone the outer housing pulled off the plug and the wire attached. It took some work to remove the plug from the socket on the phone. I also tried the iRig microphone. I can't see that it does anything either. I've tried them on my iPhone 5 and on an iPad 3 and 4.

TO be honest, I have not done a comparison between the two. But what I have found is that the built-in mic is of good quality for voice recording, even in a largish room. It has worked fine for me. I recorded in the mode where it just records when it has a voice to record. Been happy with this product.

As a pro engineer . I work with Nationals and popular acts . I find there are many different Mics that are preferred . Although the most favored mic is the Shure SM 58 or the Beta 58 . The beta has a little more gain which gives the voice a stronger sense and better projection during use. You cant go wrong with this mic. its a workhorse .
