How close do you have to have the mic in order for it to get good volume? Can I sit back a bit, or do I have to be right on top of it?

It's a dynamic mic, therefore it will not pick up any outside noise. You can easily talk directly into the microphone or 2 to 6 inches away for best quality without any distortion. If you lean back and talk from couple of feet away, you will still be heard but your voice will sound in the distance. Needless to say this mic is simply awesome and has much clearer sound than my $300 + mics. Get it. You'll love it. Good luck.

I'm no expert but, any good mic requires you to be fairly close unless you are looking at using a shotgun mic. With this mic, I suggest you be about a fist length away. This is an extremely good mic, it compares to my Heil PR 40 which cost me about $340.

As said, it depends on the distance, but if you can hear it yourself, the mic will pick it up. You may want to increase the sensitivity to +20db, though. In any case set your camcorder's mic level as low as possible, or you will get a lot of noise. This is in general a good idea from my experience (I am using a Sony CX730)

Hi,No the Mic that I bought had no way to adjust the volume. I do like the job that it is doing for me.

when i first key the mic it does the same. hold if for a second or two then talk in a little bit louder voice than normal, and make sure the volume is all the way up. hope this helps.

If you work it with the cardiod pattern, work it close and reduce the gain you should be able to reduce the background noise. You could also surround the mic with a sound shield - I think Amazon has these three sided foam contraptions.

Although, its a snug fit over the head and you may have to adjust the volume accordingly to avoid a high pitch echo in the background; it should allow you to perform at your best without difficulty. Good luck.

I have used 80 to 90 feet away without problem. I second GOJOE they are not very good mics but they are a cheap option. I used them 3 separate times last Christmas for children's plays, with no problems

From experience- this would be helpful... however, you can use a "home made" method to silence the dreaded "P's " (pops). I typically turn the Mic sideways towards my mouth and it responds well.

There is no mic, so it won't get in the way. I've noticed these earbuds don't have much treble, but have more mid and low ends when playing music. I like these earbuds because the cord is really light.

If you shut off the mic and keep the volume down, you should be ok. It's a Nice pickup!

The Mic works really well, but some voices carry better than others. It's always best to encourage people to hold the mic close to their mouth. We're very happy with the mic.

It's a plug and play mic. Snap it in your phone or computer, ready to go. Be careful of the volume switch. Push it toward the smaller icon for full volume(slide it up). It will seem backward but that after much trial it works.

are you using any kind of channel mixer? Or are you going straight into a powered speaker? I find that when you don't use a mixer, you have less control. If you are using a mixer, try lowering the bass to near 0. That being said, once you have a grip on the mic, it shouldn't be making noises, if you're getting noises when being passed around from hand to hand, then all I can say is that you'll get that with almost any mic this price range.

I used this with the handheld mic and moved anywhere from 2 to 25 feet from the speaker without any feedback. I do seem to remember a bit of feedback when standing right over the speaker but moving a foot away solved the problem. I have not used it with the mic being 15 to 20 feet from the speaker so I cannot speak to that.

I've had no issue with speaking volume and use just my normal speaking voice. The mic is sensitive and like many competitors background noise in a crowded area like a restaurant can be prevalent.

Hi, Gregory. The one consideration you need to keep in mind is how long the mike is. For the best sound, the mike should be centered in the Porta-Booth, except for the depth, which ideally should be less than halfway in. It will be hard to center long mikes shaped, for example, like the Neumann U87.

I'd use a condenser mic on mine, but there's always a tipping point if the boom is extended too far, true with any boom stand.
