Does this require a XLR microphone? Mine made a clicking sound and then nothing eventually the lights go off. Tried the knobs, but nothing.

Does not require an xlr line-in. It has a built-in mic that will pick up room sound. If no music is playing it will light up and occasionally move around the lights and change their color. Mine usually makes some clicking sounds when it starts up but the light come on and "jiggle" right after that.

Mine does the clicking as well on startup. It is sound activated with a built in microphone. Have you tried it with music?

The clicking sound in the beginning is normal, just the gears setting up. You dont need any additional mic as the light has its own sound active mic. If after the initial (setting up) clicking the light shuts off and does nothing, its broken and you need to get a replacement. My first light had the same symptoms you described. I returned it back to amazon and my second light was perfect. Hope this helps.

That clicking is the boot process (I believe), it doesn't have a XLR plug, just has a small mic hole. It needs to be near lots of sound/bass to work. It seems to learn, from my experience, so leave it on for a bit and it will pick up the beats.

I can't help you as I read the directions and tried repeatedly to set it for the sound activation and it comes on when it wants to I guess. I won't be buying another one as mine was made very cheaply and isn't dependable for lighting.

Hope you don't think I am being a wiseass, but are the blue lights on your soundbar on? Our first mistake was thinking that the green power light was "on". If the blue lights are not on, that is probably your problem. Next was the source. We use our bar on source 2, (there will be two blue lights on). The directions are poorly written, so we called the tech support number in the instructions. I recommend you do the same. The guy will walk you through syncing the remotes, and any other questions you may have. You will definitely want to sync this to your main remote. Hope this helps.

Sure did. All of the clicking drive me nuts. I thing I have mine set at 5% tolerance and it fixed it. Going to have to find your own mix that works for your environment. It will pick up even the slightest light from like oven clocks to neighbors lights outside. It sees it all. My buddy had to leave his ir off and just use an external ir light. Good luck.

I have a big can with XLR inputs. it is easy to get an adapter for it. what kind of input socket does your cam have? if its a 1/8' or 1/4' you should not need an adapter.also make sure your battery is fresh every time you use it. it has good sound and a long cord. I find it very handy.

Yes, I have four of these lights and noticed the clicking noise as well. They seem to click sporadically for a few minutes after they are turned on/off. It's not constant and goes away after a few minutes, but I am considering replacing the lights due to this issue.

Can't help you. Mine didn't even play and record button broke right away. Sent it back.

When recording there aren't any lights showing. Just follow the directions to turn on the Recording and you good until you stop it.

I don't think there is a blue light on the XLR version of this mic. Are you sure you are not talking about the USB version?

No not really, i had the same problem with this, there might be a solution somewhere, but I haven't found any. I just use an external audio recorder with Xlr inputs, I don't use these adapters anymore

Sorry - can't help. I've got two of these mics and neither has a blue light.

I would try to find the problem first. Do you need to replace the mixer? or is it the mic? or is a speaker blown? Find the problem before spending money on a solution.

Could be cable / power point issue..the XLR cable will cut off the hum..( Balanced cable )..

hmmm. I guess I would start with making sure the channels are matching the sliders. Are those the only lights you have connected to your controller or do you have others?

I used this about 2 years ago and from what I remember I needed to connect 2 XLR mics to a stereo camcorder mic input. This is the the not the "correct" way to do this properly. The "proper" solution is more complicated and much more expensive. XLR mics are "Balanced" mics and in theory when used properly they minimize or eliminate the unwanted 60 Hz hum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.
