Is this microphone primarily for MACS and other newer generation iPads and iPhones, or will it work just as well on a windows based PC or Laptop?

It has a USB plugin so im sure it will record on a PC as long as the PC has a USB

I use it with windows 8 and it's flawless men recording, not sure how it works with an iPad

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

The microphone itself is compatible with the Mac OS. In regards to connection you need an external USB Sound card which basically makes the SE10 a USB microphone and physically usable with a Mac Computer.KnowBrainer, Inc.

It does work for the headphone part or the microphone part, but not both combined. You'd need a jack that accepts headphone-mic combined like on an iPad or cellphone device which most PC's are not equipped.

My PC is still Windows 7 so, I am not sure. The installation instructions specifically target XP, Vista, Windows7, and MAC OSX. The Mic uses universal drivers so it should work. The drivers load automatically when you plug in the USB cable. My warranty card has a customer service number should you have any questions about compatibility. Call them at: (631) 784 - 2200. Hope this helps.

Yes, we use it on all computer devices. The only thing that matters is if your device has the plugins for both mic and listening. Check the pictures and I think you will understand. We liked it so I bought one for my son too.

If your computer has a jack that is the right size and the jack supports both speaker (out) and microphone (in), it should work. On my macbook it supports audio input and output just fine.

Hi Jimmy. The Apogee Mic is really designed for iOS devices and Mac computers. But even some of the software Apps will not work. I tried it on a Win 7 PC, using an AVS Audio Editor program, with the gain turned all the way up. Volume was very low. I also have a Snowball Blue Mic that works quite well with a PC. I would consider this one for PC usage.

Definitely can be used on PC and Mac. You can route the reverb to the headphones outs via software. If you need more output from the headphones out, use an external headphone amplifier

I've never tried it with Windows; I use macs exclusively. But, you ask an important question; I previously purchased a Logitech USB headphone/mic combination, thinking it should work with my Mac - but that was not the case. Hardware-wise, sure it fits in the USB port, but I wasn't counting on it needing a driver written for Mac, which there was not.

I have a Mac and it works just fine with that. It has great feedback and background noise canceling capabilities so I'd imagine it would be good for interviewing all ages!

I had never tried it before, only having it as a backup for my Mac recording setup, which worked fine. I just fired up a Windows 8.1 tablet and plugged the cable into a Heil PR40 and then into the tablet and it detected and recorded fine. The Heil is a quiet mic and it would have liked a bit more gain but it was not a big issue. I could have adjusted this in the audio controls on the recording software.

Yes and no. For one microphone attached to a standard Mac or PC, I suggest the USB model as it has has a built-in driver. If using something other than a standard Mac or PC, the 3.5mm Plug model might be a better choice as it would have no built-in driver. For two microphones attached to a standard Mac or PC, I suggest using one USB model and one 3.5mm Plug model plugged into one of the input jacks on the USB model (there are two inputs, the instructions indicate which input to use on the USB model). For multiple microphones attached to a standard Mac or PC, one USB model combined with one or more 3.5mm Plug models would be best. The USB model has both left and right inputs so that users can daisy-chain one or more 3.5mm Plug models into each input. If I had a 30-foot conference table, I could place the USB model in the middle of the table with two 3.5mm Plug models on one side and three 3.5mm Plug models on the other side for a total of 6 microphones on the table. I presently use a similar setup on a smaller table and get great audio unless somebody is drumming his fingers or tapping her pen on the table.

Yes, it works for non-apple. My son has used the "in-line" mic on his PC (non-apple) for video chats and in game talking/communication like a typical headset.

You need an audio interface to connect it to your mac. The quality of the interface will effect the mics sound but it is sole due to the ad converter in the audio interface

It's a standard USB audio device, it works for pretty much everything. I use this on a Mac for Skype, Facetime, GoToMeeting, and Join.me meetings. On a Mac, don't bother installing the software that comes with it. The device seems to perform better with the built-in Mac OS support.
