If you're trying to record audio from say ~20ft away (ex. - wedding vows recorded from the audience) will this still be effective?

it actually works pretty good. 20 feet isn't that far for even your stock mic to pic that up.. This mic def will get better sound,, and for the price it, its worth it..

This microphone will work for that but the quality will not be great. In order to capture the voice loud enough you would have to turn up the sensitivity in your camera which will add in a hissing noise. It will be alot better than the internal mic especially if your using a dslr.

Mine works fine for recordrnig short messages. You muck speak clear and loud enough.

You can be any distance away from it. This mic does not have background noise filtering (if it does, it doesn't work).

I have only used it with audio recording programs. In theory, it should work, but I wil want to see other responses.

No, you can, however record sound from a distance & lay it over the video in editing

It worked fine for me. However, don't expect this device to produce studio quality recordings.

You can use external software to amplify the audio input, programs like Audacity have an option to output the audio it is recording, which does the same thing.

I would say if it's a huge, huge house maybe not. A couple bedrooms should be no problem. Example I shot a wedding in a church. I was in the main area about 200 ft away and he was in 2 rooms over. His mic came through perfectly

Yes I could. Especially when jamming live home performances. But for recording its better to avoid doing that as there will be tiny level of music from speakers again picked up by mic. But keeping good distance between both can solve it.

I've used it to record audio directly from a DJ audio mixer. It worked perfectly and the sound was clear.

I haven't tried to see if will work. I do not believe it will ,never have had one to provide audio in fast forward . I would expect the sound would be distorted .

Have not tried a maximum distance. Did get bird sounds from about 15 feet using mic on a tripod. Had mic plugged into a Sony digital camcorder. Was recording a bird nest in a tree in my front yard. Birds were quite loud, 3 young in nest all chirping at the same time.

I use this as a wireless mic for video recording interviews/podcasts/etc. I recently tried to tie it in with an amp/speaker system for the speaker at an awards banquet and had no luck. To be honest, I had very little time to attempt to figure out a way to make it work. It may be possible. It just didn't work for me in that capacity.

yes, it worked great for me. Just remember that sound will not happen through a connection like this, only video.

Hello Fursuit Yiff. I'm not sure. I tried to use it to do red carpet interviews and there was an incredible amount of feedback. I couldn't use any of my audio footage.

That depends. We have not used it for that purpose. The best way would be to split both the mic input and the computer audio output, mix them and then record onto a recorder (this one or another) directly through the line in input.

Yes! As the others have said this will work for recording an audio book. I was actually quite surprised when I heard how clear the sound of a recording was.
