Hi, I was using in my tambourine, it is very nice. I have only one point to say, the cable is very fragile, but for flute, I belive that you won't have problems, with my tambourine I had to shake it a lot, due this the cable broke frequently.Regards,

Is there a way to attach it to your flute? The pick up is great for violin and voice (I sing while playing). I think the question would be attachment. If you have someway to attach the mic (with or without its clip), try it, it's a great little mic. Note: you will need an additional standard mic cable as its cable is short.

That is a sort of tricky question to answer since positioning the mic to pick up the best source of the sound could be a little difficult and you'd have to clip it to the end of the flute which could interfere with the sound itself. That being said, I do believe it would work well and give you a nice sound. Depending on your application however, it might be better to get a microphone on stand so that you can place it in front of the player to catch to most amount of sound. Hopefully that helps, if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!

I have used it with flute with some success. You will need a way of positioning it so it is effective. I clipped it to the top of a music stand which seemed to work OK.

Probably not, because you have no place to clip it to on a flute. You could clip it to a music stand, which would allow you to for go a regular mic and mic stand.

the clip it comes with has no direct way to connect to a flute, and in fact the flexible connection between clip and mic probably just gets in the way and makes it harder. For a flute, you need the mic right close to the mouthpiece, and stable. Regarding the mic itself, I think from a performance perspective it would work fine as a pickup for flute. I'd suggest removing the mic from the clip and with a short piece of Velcro, secure around the flute up near the mouthpiece. Good luck.

It will work, and I'd probaly use it over a 57, but acoustic guitars are a different animal. In live situations I've used one of these on various stringed instruments including acoustic guitars and violins. For home recording it will work well in a full mix but probably won't get the full sound you're looking for if you're doing a guitar and voice singer/song-writer type feel. But if you're looking to get recording on a budget this is a great all around instrument mic that will work well on both electric and acoustic instruments.

cutiek028... I don't see why you couldn't use a hand held microphone as long as the input plug size is no bigger than 14 mm long by 3.4 mm wide. I would have to assume the receptacle is 3.5 mm wide. I viewed the previous answer about the quality of the unit. I, myself, was not looking for high fidelity product. Just something to amplify my voice just a little over my playing the accordion as some of the songs I do sing a little. The bottom line is you get what you pay for - you go cheap, you get cheap. Good luck with your PA application. Sven Engblom.

It won't work well with any mic because the preamps are terrible. You would have to run software that denoises while you are broadcasting but even that would cause extra latency. I would recommend a different unit and Amazon has plenty to choose from at the same price level.

Hi, unless a microphone is listed as a "USB" mic out of the box (meaning there's a USB connector attached to the cord), I would not try to use it as such for fear of lessening the sound quality. This microphone is plugged into a USB Interface, but it is NOT a USB microphone. For my studio, I chose the PreSonus AudioBox22VSL (USB) Interface. I hooked the mic up to the Interface and the USB from the Interface into my computer. My home studio is digital (computer based), so I'm good to go. By the way, the sound quality of this mic is truly nice! Hopefully, this helps. Good luck!

We had to buy an adaptor but we had an amplifier. We had someone at a local music store help us. They also told us it is a very strong microphone. More for studio use. But if you have the amp and adapter it should work.

Hi Robert, this mic is mainly for use with computers and digital voice recorders with 3.5mm input. Please check the specifications of the head unit to ensure compatibility. Thanks_Mitch

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

It picks up sound fairly well for an on-board mic. Still not something I would want to use by itself as the quality always sounds spacey. Any mic that has a mini-jack(same size as headphone..can't remember the name right now) will work. I have a rode videomic that I use with mine. It does have a mini-shoe so you'll need to purchase an adapter for that if you're going to want to mount basically any good microphone on it.

Yes, I am using it with mine. Excellent Mic. I own some blue condenser mics. & This Mikey is also great and truly inexpensive. Buy it; you won't regret it.

the phantom power should be sufficient for your condenser mic. I wouldn't count on using this interface for anything more than a demo though.

It's great for voice recording when attached to portable recording devices. However, if you're looking for a serious "studio quality" mic for musical applications, you should adjust your price range up and look elsewhere.

I've used it for micing acoustic guitars and guitar amplifiers with decent results so I would say yes. I have yet to use it for drums or other instruments but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

This sound card connects to laptop with USB. You can also use your headphones. I never tried microphone. But It should be compatible.

I would not rely on this mic for a high quality recording, or even a decent recording. Especially not for micing amplifiers or acoustic instruments. Get a cheap MXL condenser mic.

I don't think this was designed for a microphone but you can try getting an adaptor jack from a radio shack or amazon. I'm really thinking it won't work with a mic and you'll have to get some type of amp. If you want a simple amp try a "Pignose" type amp which you can find at music store. They'll have other options too.

I haven't used it for a mic but it works great for my acoustic guitar. I don't know why it couldn't be used with a mic. You would need to use the low impedance (xlr) input for the best results. I have never used a PG48 so I can't advise on that.
