Just received this Mic. PTT does not work if headphone jack is used. I am using a stereo jack. Is this normal or did I get a defective product?

I just tried mine for the first time and it works fine. I think you might have a bad micI would send it back.

I'm not a big fan of these mics and I'm not suprised your having problems with it.

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.

Hi Tiffy, Try plugging into the input for the Auxiliary in "AUX IN" on the back of the soundbar and go to source on the remote to AUX on the soundbar. This should work for you although I do not know what kind of microphone your using. If the jack is a quarter-inch then there is no input on the soundbar. Let me know if you have any other questions..hope this helps.

Check your inputs, good Mic, good cord & connections ect. Use a new or known good mic & cable. Then check speakers & wiring for damage or loose connections. Make sure speakers are connected correctly for their impedance (marked on speaker). User manual should help. If this amp has a radio tuner, make sure it's input (Aux In) is turned all the way down. Also turn down any inputs without a mic connected. If these steps don't fix it, then you may have a bad amp(s). There are some known quality problems with this brand.

This mic takes phantom power. Do you have phantom power? If not, it won't work.

Well first check you input gain but on mine the meter suddenly maxed out then dropped to nothing and hasn't worked since. That was on the first day of use.However, everything else works as it should (if a little noisy, it's not the quietest pre-amp). Since my interface has either all phantom power on or off I use the preamp for using both condenser and dynamic mics together. I don't think pinned in the red is normal.

I don't know? I don't connect it to anything that has a microphone. Does your microphone work on your device with a headset plugged in? It would be the same principal.

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers!

Make sure your source is stereo/supports stereo. Otherwise could be a short in which case you need to return/exchange.

I've tried both an ordinary headphone and a cellphone combined microphone/headphone. For the latter, the microphone is always recognized but the headphone doesn't always work (i.e. laptop continues using the external speakers). The same problem for ordinary headphone, sometimes it is recognized, sometimes not. It's the only irritating issue with this laptop, of course I'm not sure if I should use a specific type of headphone on this new jack.

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.

use a microphone with a stereo jack, like one used for a computer. my unit grounds out when using the mic jack.

I record using the mic jack using a stereo plug coming from a reel-to-reel tape deck. I get a usable file but I suspect my original recordings are monaural.

It would record properly thru the mic only. Any input via line-in was distorted. I first thought it may be the cable, but tried another cable with same results.

Ok, it is presumed that your mic is set up properly! If you need to reset the unit constantly, return the equipment. It seems you got a "lemon."
