I need to interview three people at the same time, and would like to use three lapel mics. Would this 3-way splitter work for mics as well?

That is exactly what I use it for. I do a lot of multiple person video interviews for training video

While I can't say whether or not it might, realize that each one will have 1/3 the power that it usually does and might not have enough electricity to turn on, they will each also be 1/3 as loud as usual, and also 1/3 of the quality of using just one mic.

Should work, but may cause distortion (signal overload) if all speaking at once or mic too close -- i think. though never done myselgf

Yes, I believe so. The splitter takes one audio source and splits it into two outputs. I use it for my racing scanner. I can split the scanner output sound into two sets of headphones. I hope that helps.

There is only 1 XLR input, The other inputs would require a mic pre-amp unless your mics can generate a line level signal (some do)

It works only with one. if you have two mics hooked on each it XLR will be the one active (the TRS signal is so low that is kind of useless). I guess the Y would also compromise the quality signal too. Better look for another solution that supports 2 mics

No. Beware...this isn't even a true TRRS splitter. It does not carry the mic signal at all. If you pull apart the cable (which I did), it only has 3 wires in it...not four as it would if it were carrying the full TRRS (L,R,Mic, Grnd) signal.

The camera has 1 (one) Stereo 3.5mm input jack on the front for the shotgun mic. I'm not sure how well the splitter idea would work or what the quality would be like, but in theory it should at least be functional. I know they make battery powered interfaces for that sort of thing that can combine two XLR inputs into a stereo signal. Good luck!

Yes, it can actually handle 5 mics and has 'phantom power' built in that allows you to use condenser mics. It should work well for your group discussion.

I have not used it to record but I have successfully used it to do video conference with audio and 2 headsets - but I can't confirm that both mics were used - just at at least 1 worked. The only thing to keep in mind is that this adapter is for support for stereo headphone and mic (it has 4 sections on the pin) so if your headphones and your recording device support this 4 sectioned pin you should be ok. For example a Macbook laptop port and iPhone headphones with built in mic will work.

just one mic can be plugged directly, but i think you can maybe use a MIX TABLE to distribute the channels... Call some expert advice!

Maybe what you need is a mixer to balance the volume of all the different mics and then record from the mixer. Sorry I can't help you further!

Yes, probably other brands will work too, but I use my Samson SWV266SHT6U-611 Handheld Wireless Microphones with this and it works great. It has two wireless microphones, so I plug in the receiver unit to one of the mike jacks and both of the microphones work off of that jack. Then I can use one of the other wired microphones that came with it in the other jack to allow for 3 users. I imagine if I had two of the wireless sets I might be able to use all 4 separate microphones-haven't tried that though.

Normally you would not wire 2 output devices to a 1 input device but since the output devices are passive (I assume) mics, then they will just mix together at the computer input jack via the splitter cable. Your biggest problem will be balancing the 2 mic signals to your satisfaction since there is no control on the 2 mics.

I agree with Kevin C. This is only a splitter for headphones and will split the signal into two for two sets of earbuds or headphones. It will likely not work with a microphone

No it will not work, because you only can dedicate one USB connection as your default playback device. But you can do what you want with only one unit by using a microphone splitter to attach to the (RED) hole and connect the other end to the two microphones. You can use a splitter like " RLCAB095 - Stereo Audio Input Splitter". Google it.

You should. Though I haven't tried it I don't see why you couldn't run one mic into the xlr input and run another into the 1/4. But make sure you use phantom power. Great question though. I'll have to try it out myself

If all the people will be on front of the mic, it will work great. This mic records from one direction only, if you'll be interviewing from the back of it, that might be a problem.

I shoot DSLR video with multiple cameras. I wanted to find a way to mic up several people at once without having to buy multiple lav receiver/transmitters. (they are extremely expensive). I've was able to connect 5 lavalier mics to it. And plugged it into a Zoom H2N recorder. It works worked perfectly fine for me without any volume loss or audio degradation whatsoever.here the link to the lavs i used.
