I'm looking for something I can set in the middle of the room, stand about 5-8 feet away and still be able to talk clearly. Whats the distance?

I don't think this will work for you then. It works best for me when it is placed on my computer desk in front of me. I use mine primarily for VOIP applications such as ventrilo, mumble, and teamspeak (for MMORPG playing). Hope this helps.

It sounds like you want to set up for a pod-cast or streaming show. Or at least a room-ready Skype solution. In any of those cases 6~10ft would be acceptable, but far from ideal. I'd really suggest if you're doing anything even close to professional like that, you go with a Blue Snowball. I have a Gino, and while it serves well for my needs at 2ft, if I was to expand I'd defiantly upgrade. ((Related Snowballs are on amazon sale at the moment, so now's as good a time as any.))

Not sure how far apart the ppl are. I'd turn you device on as loud as it can go, & then turn up the LGT to its maximum setting and you'll be able to hear it very well.

I can't really answer that since I've not tried to figure out the max range; I didn't buy these to talk to people 36 miles away. The fields I attend range anywhere from a half mile to a few miles in length one way or another, with dense tree coverage; so the people I talk to are always within a mile. I've had no comm issues at these fields.

Yes, Not a problem over distance. not good for close in, sound will be noisy on the lows. This unit is designed for auditorium usage.

A quiet room with normal ambient sounds is around 35-40dbA. Holding a meter near, normal conversation would be around 55-65dbA. Quiet voices might be less than this range, louder speech and laughter will go well above this range. If you have an iPhone or iPad, there are some great apps that are very sensitive. I use SPLnFFT, highly recommended.

The distance is not an issue you will be able to see it at 6 ft away. We have never used it in the day or in a bright room but I do feel if may be an issue as it at times was not extremely bright with some videos displayed on it.

I only use this for my tv so my wife can sleep. But I am able to walk into other rooms and still here it I would say about 30-40 feet between walls. It was the best I found as a transmiter.

Approximately six (6) feet. Not as long as those in the 5.1 or 7.1 system. To be effective the speakers seemingly need to be close to the base.

What kind of range r u looking for?mine will go about twenty feet ...in a straight lineI Love this speaker...its sound is fantastic

It's not particularly loud. I would say you could hear voices clearly up to about 5 ft away, but after that it's hard to make out what is said. Music or sound is better. I used it for a RR crossing bell in the pocket of a Halloween costume and it was clear enough to tell what it was for 5-10 ft away.

In an enclosed room I was able to hear people within 20ft reasonably well. Within 6ft it will probably be very clear.

That's exactly the reason we purchased this. Unfortunately it fell short of what we had hoped, but it is in fact the best we've tried yet and it does help. It works best when it is set facing you about 6 ft away. Two things they could do to improve it are to put a legible mark on the dial so you have some clue as to where you're setting the volume because there is no remote and you have to keep getting up to adlust and then sit back down to tell if its right. The other thing is also simple, I can hear it really well with the earphones, the problem is that my wife hates using earphone, so if I plug them in for me they cut out the speakers so now she can't hear it. A simple switch that allows a set of earphones to be plugged in while still allowing the speakers would solve the problem.

use it once in a conference room in a hotel. The room is very big with capacity for 400 people and it worked perfectly. I can not say exactly how far were the microphones of the base, I guess they were some 20 or 30 meters

Well, this is a small speaker. It would be hard pressed to hear 2 rooms away. If you turned it up as far as it goes, you might hear some distortion. This speaker is best used within 30 feet or so and not turned up to max. This is just my opinion.

I have used 80 to 90 feet away without problem. I second GOJOE they are not very good mics but they are a cheap option. I used them 3 separate times last Christmas for children's plays, with no problems

Hi, at my home which is 4 room flat I get 20-25 feet in usable range. Farther than that I begin experiencing cuts And /or distortion. Hope that helps. Have a nice day from Montral, Canada
