does this mic record stereo sound or just mono? and does it let the onboard mic record as well or not?

It is a stereo mic, it will deactivate the onboard mic if you camera is setup that way.

the mic records in stereo and sounds much better than the mic that is built in. When the mic is plugged in it only records from the Rode and once it is unplugged you go back to the on board mic. You can NOT use both.

The microphone is a dual mono microphone and thus not stereo, unless you get into the very expensive stereo microphones I think you'll be pleased with the frequency response and quality. Once plugged in, the on-board microphone is cancelled out.

T3i specs say it records in stereo as well as the mic. Don't know why you would only get the left side working. Could be a cable issue or camera issue. Sry I can't be more help. I use a 7d so its never given me any issues.

Here is the information from the operations guide: "This unit has provided special AUX IN jack, through this jack other audio sources can be connected to this unit and be amplified". That sounds (pardon the pun) like it might apply to a supplemental microphone. There is a built-in condenser mic. There are no instructions for recording from an external source.

It can record 4 channels simultaneously in 4 channel mode, but only to two stereo tracks and not 4 separate mono tracks and not one stereo track plus 2 separate mono tracks. So, you can use the the two XLR inputs plus the XY inputs for four tracks. Only two of those channels will be in stereo the other two in mono.

Hi LFTV,When I recorded and played, it played in stereo.You can take a look at the technical spec and it indeed recorded stereo as it claims.Take a look at the link and read the "Features" section.Thank you.

Hello Alyssa, while the Vantec USB External 7.1 Adapter is no longer my daily driver, I did double check to make sure and yes, it does have a stereo mix type option available to use on recording devices. Hope this helps. I have attached a screenshot to show you, http://prntscr.com/5ldhwp and http://prntscr.com/5ldigs Cheers, R.

I bought this mike as a backup for our Sennheiser wireless mike at church. It is only mono. When I record to make a CD, I use a mono to 1/8" stereo adapter to input in the PC to get a left and right channel, so the sound will come out of both speakers. Otherwise it would only be left channel.

So I just ordered this specifically for recording my songs off my computer onto cassette tapes to hand out at shows, and I am sad to report the mic input is only mono so it cannot record in stereo (even though I am connecting a stereo 1/8" audio cable that transmits stereo audio to other devices).

Sorry to say I haven't used mine much BUT, it does work. It will record your voice just fine. When you load MP3s it will also remove the voice track, but because it's blended in, you lose some of the music track as well. But, to just straight record your voice, it works fine. It has 2 external mic's but I would use a plug in. You have to be kinda close to the onboard mic's. I have used the GB10 guitar version extensively and that thing kicks butt so I would imagine this is no different. I have just used it in a very limited way.

Good question. I don't think it matters. For true stereo you need two mikes. I use Audacity software with windows and can record stereo, but that seems to be a software configuration.

It is a side address condenser, and only records well from one side (front). This is meant for recording vocals from one person.

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality.

In mono yes, I use it to go the other direction, from a venue amplifier to my laptop for recording/broadcasting.

Balanced / stereo: Assuming you will be using this mic on a camcorder IF you have your XLR connection recording on both channels (RT&LT) stereo. You can have it record on most camcorders via the XLR port only one channel too (mono).

It is mono, not stereo. I chose this model after having a one-sided version for many years because it blocks ambient noise as well as delivers sound to both ears.
