I suggest going to "The Sound Professionals" website. I bought a set of their tiny SP-CMC-8 mics there and could not be more pleased with the sound. These were somewhat pricey, but they have MANY options. Good luck!

I use with the Zoom H4N. It has an XLR input, so you can use in any recorder that has xlr.

Why would you bother? Impedance changes, XLR versus mini line level changes, more possibilities for bad mechanical connection. Consider borrowing a digital recorder with XLR input, if the microphone is important for the application. If this is your only available recorder (and it's a good one), then prepare to deal with noise or dropouts.

This microphone would work perfectly fine for that. What you will want to do, however, is download a free program called Audacity. Audacity will let you record your voice through the mic, and will allow you to export the audio file with any name into a massive variety of formats from .mp3 to WAV file types once you have recorded what you want.

I wish u had gotten some responses. I need one too! However, best I have found do far inresearching it is the h4n recorder perhaps with and without the use of the Yamaha SKRM100 SUBKICK Low Frequency Capture Microphone? If u try it, would love to hear your results! Good luck!

If you have misplaced your operator's manual you can download one here:http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/resource_library/literature/0fb01429606842cf/at_pl50_om.pdfAs for setting it up, CQ is right just use the RCA adapter to you computer's mic input. You may want to have a good program like "Audacity" to oversee your recording. It's still a free download I believe, or there are others that will work. Good Luck.

We use this mic with a Tascam CD recorder, no problems. We a currently running the mic through a Presonus digital board, then to the recorder. If you try to go direct to your recording device, I would recommend you try it first at the -30 db attenuation, then work your way up. Hope this helps.

Any usb interface with xlr inputs will work. You want to use an xlr cable to connect the mic to the interface. As far as brands go, i use Focusrite but any interface you can afford should do the trick

If you're mic is using an unbalanced 1/4" cable. However most are XLR. I would suggest something from TC Helicon for vocals.

I would suggest Audacity. Its a free voice recorder program that lets you record with the microphone and edit the recording to your liking.

Just to let you know you're not alone in wondering about an external mic input. I have two high-quality wireless microphones and a lot of experience using them. I won't consider a camcorder if it doesn't have an external audio input. I am disappointed that you haven't received a reply. Good Luck!

I use my to record to my Mac but I also have and M-AUDIO FatTrack Pro mixer and a PreSonuys Tube Prev2 amp to supply more power to the mic. Sorry it took my awhile to get back to you!

I bought an MZM 100 a couple years ago. The stereo mic that came with it was kind of lame, but it is a great recorder with a dynamite built-in preamp. I can tell you that this one also comes with a stereo mic, and that probably means it records in stereo (2-channels) as well.As an acoustician, I think it would be nice if it recorded at 96 khz (> 4x the maximum threshold of hearing for human beings), but other than that, it has done some good work for me.

Maybe what you need is a mixer to balance the volume of all the different mics and then record from the mixer. Sorry I can't help you further!

What mics are you using.. feedback not only has to do with the speaker position, but mainly with type of mic

Hi Paula, this is exactly what I'm looking for as well. I'm also a freelance writer looking for a recorder that I can refer back to so as to transcribe my notes. I've been trying to do it by hand and I just can't keep up with it. I also have a Macbook Pro if that's a help. Did you end up buying this or do you have another you could recommend. Thank you so much.

You could use just about any interface that accepts the standard 3-pin XLR cable, presonus,tascam,apollo,UA all would work Please be aware this mic requires 24v phantom power.Get the best quality XLR cable you can afford to connect mic to interface
