No it humms at times , i upgraded to a xlr mic which is better I suggest that over a USB well not this one, it was good to start off

Yes it's pretty good for any type of recording. Once you use it professional. It's a good pretty!!

Yes it will but you will need to keep it real close to the strings and the opening to the accustic guitar. There are better mica for guitar recording. This mic is a good All round audio recording mic. Clear and solid build. It does need phantom power threw the USB outlet. So it won't work well on a USB hub. Loss of phantom power c

You might be able. I only use the microphone to record for voice tracks for radio commercials. So I can't definitively say yes or no.

As others have said, this is not meant to be used with a microphone. It is a guitar amplifier only.

It depends on what you are trying to do. Regardless of the physical connections, a guitar amp will not sound good as a vocal PA. Also, a microphone level signal is too low for a guitar amp. There is an exception for special harmonica mics which are designed for this purpose, but again, they are not vocal use.

I haven't had a need for a pre-amp for this Mic so far because of it's insane sensitivity. You'll be able to hear anything you record with the Mic, so long as your input levels are good. For example, the Mic was able to pick up my oven beeping when I couldn't hear it in person from where I was. (I was in the basement and I heard the oven while I was playing a take I had just recorded.) If you still want to amplify, I've found that my DAW does an excellent job of boosting the signal all on its own.

Hi. I love this mic. To use on a computer you would need an interface that will convert the analog output to digital. You will also need an xlr cable that goes from the mic to the interface and a usb cable from interface to computer. If you are recording music you will need a recording program. Without a program you can encounter a noticable delay. Have fun!

What mic are you using to sing with this amp, looking to upgrade mic to a Sennheiser e945 Supercardioid Dynamic , is that too much for this amp?I will mostly sing with band but sometimes other venue plug my ukelele in too.

Should work . I think any interface would have 1/4 inch or xlr inputs . I think most people who record guitar direct without a amp use a di box

Honestly the suck. I hooked it up to my sound system it lasted about a month before my records didnt sound right. Your better off getting a older used one. If you wanna record on your computer get audacity or soundwave and a rca to 3.5mm cord and plug in the the mic port.

This is not a good amp for a microphone but if needed you could use the acoustic guitar settings for a microphone if the mic has @ 1/4 "jack. if you want an amp that is good for a microphone you are better off going with an amp that has 1/4" jacks as well as xlr input wich is most common with a quality mic. I personally like the acoustic brand amps for my microphones they are designed for an electric acoustic guitar and have xlr inputs and the reverb settings work well with microphones. Peavey also makes awesome products for running microphones check out there website you will find what you need rosemary. Sincerily Rick Barkle

Hi, unless a microphone is listed as a "USB" mic out of the box (meaning there's a USB connector attached to the cord), I would not try to use it as such for fear of lessening the sound quality. This microphone is plugged into a USB Interface, but it is NOT a USB microphone. For my studio, I chose the PreSonus AudioBox22VSL (USB) Interface. I hooked the mic up to the Interface and the USB from the Interface into my computer. My home studio is digital (computer based), so I'm good to go. By the way, the sound quality of this mic is truly nice! Hopefully, this helps. Good luck!

The Shure SM-57 is one of the best mikes to record amps either being electric or acoustic. Its uni directional so anything placed in front of it will be absorbed fully. It also gets a very nice range and sound. When i got my DP-24 i tried everything mike i had, and sometimes plugging straight in got some good results too, especially if you have a effects pedal for your guitar.

I've been using the m-audio fast track pro. Basically , this a good mic used primarily for overhead recording -- drums, pianos. But I've used it on vocals and guitar and it's good but only as good as ur pre amp. If ur interface doesn't have good preamps I would recommend buying an external one if ur serious about getting high fidelity recordings. Hope that helps

This is not intended to be a professional quality mic. The AT2020-USB+ would be a much better choice.

This is a really good mic, you can't go wrong for the price. If you plan on recording directly to your computer you will need an audio interface. Focusrite and Presonus are two really good brands, they come with recording software and have built in pre amps. If you buy an interface or anything else to plug the mic into make sure it has +48v phantom power, it is needed to power the mic.

You need something that provides phantom power for this mic. It may be included in the recorder you are plugging into (or amp/speaker), but otherwise you will need a preamp for it.

I have only run mine through a Behringer PMP 2000 (Europower 800 Watt PA system). The microphone stays true and clean no matter how loud I get; it's sensitive enough to pick up softer tones when used. What you use it for will dictate what size amp to utilize, because the mic itself won't distort or adulterate what it picks up without external interference. If you run it through an 8 watt amplifier and use it for full force growling or screaming (my version of these vocals anyway), the truth to your efforts won't carry as well as perhaps a 100 Watt. You just have to decide how loud you would like to be and purchase accordingly.

It could be that the reviewer's particular USB hub could not provide enough amperage to power the mic. Not all USB hubs are equal in this regard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hub#Power
