I just bought one of these and for some reason my microphone won't work with it plugged in. Did I buy the wrong thing?

Sorry, impossible to answer your question without the cable and connectors in hand. The cable I bought did plug in pretty hard. First try did not go in all the way. Got it to go in on the second try.

Yes, I think so. In my case it has a sort of interference low sound. I don´t recommend this product.

Mine works well, make sure everything is connected correctly, and that you have the microphone away from as much interference as possible.

The microphone needs to have a power source. If you do not have a (phantom) power it will not work.

Could be the Connecting cord attached to the mic, or a Program error within the Mic, or If you have a Linux Like me, Incompatibility issues, It's been a while since I used this mic and It only really worked with my Camera. I'd Say purchase a Different Mic, or experiment connecting it to other devices, and if you have another Connector cord try that too. Hope that Helps

Not sure, but if you are referring to having it connected to a computer it could be a soft ware issue. I think I was covering up the mic with my hand at times inadvertently while recording.

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

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.

This is a good question. But the fact is that unfortunately (may be fortunate according to your request) the microphone does not work for me from the very beginning.

This microphone does NOT directly plug into a computer like one of the replies makes it seem like!!!!!!!!!! This mike plugs into a normal amp!!!

Mine arrived working and stopped after an hour:(. If the plug fits the Jack I would contact Amazon assuming it is broken. Amazon refunded my $ without even requiring me to ship back the broken mike. I would guess this happens often with this product:(

Mine received with no instructions and didn't work either. i think it is the mic

It should plug into any 3.5 mm microphone jack. If you want to plug this in via USB your going to need to buy a 3.5mm to half inch converter and buy a USB audio interface. I would not suggest that because thats going to run you 35+ dollars. Most computers have the 3.5mm microphone jack so you should be all set.

Check switch on the middle of cable. Check options in your operating system. Also don't forget that you have to use both connectors to make mic working. If all of this is OK, I will expect that you have problem with headset.

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?

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.

You need to make sure that the plastic covering the battery has been opened ans discarded. Also, be sure that the Off/On button on the mic is in the "on" position and properly plugged into the camera base.

I don't now if you can get pre made adapters for it.i don't remember if it is strictly microphone type input or if it has 1/4 in inputs.. if it has 1/4 in inputs you can more than likely get adapters for it... good luck
