Can I plug the Shure SM93 Lavalier Microphone directly to my Panasonic X900M or antother videocam or do I have to use it with a Wireless bodypack ?

Check to see if your camera has XLR inputs for the mic - and phantom power. Wireless is optional - still need XLR. And phantom.

The SM93 is designed to be used as a wired lav mic. The cylindrical section you see in the product photos is the pre-amplifier which provides power to the mic. The pre-amplifier does require phantom power however, so whatever camcorder or recorder you use it will have to be able to output phantom power. But no, no wireless bodypack is required unless you want to make the SM93 wireless. In which case you should be looking at a different lav mic as this one is made to be good, reliable, inexpensive and wired.

From what I looked up about the X900M, it does not have an XLR plug input for mic, and this mic uses an XLR input. The camera has a 3.5mm mic input that does not offer phantom power (with phantom power, the camcorder provides power to the mic, not batteries). To use a mic plugged into this camera, you want to find one with a 3.5mm plug. Short answer: this mic won't work with an X900M, and the plug won't fit anyway.

Yes if your camera has an XLR mic input. If you do go wireless I would steer you towards the Sennheiser ew 100 setup. That's what I did and you can't beat the quality.

I am not an audio expert. However, I do use many of these lavalier microphones with my Sennheiser wireless system at my school's theatre. Noise will sometimes be a problem if the area around the microphone is noisy, especially outside where wind can be a significant problem (possibly reduced with a foam wind screen. Try a lavalier connected directly to your camera; I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the improved sound.

No it will not. The mic from the Sennheiser has a special threaded piece at the end of the jack that must be screwed in fully in order for the connection to work. Also, your microphone will need Phantom Power, however, the 48k on your camera will be too much for it, and this piece from Sennheiser has a Phantom Power Adapter built into it. You will need to buy the Sennheiser XLR Adapter for ME2 and ME4 Lavalier Microphones. It is available on Amazon through Sennheser at Sennheiser MZA900P Phantom Power Adapter for Evolution Wireless

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

I went to Radio Shack and bought a 1/8 plug to 1/4 plug adapter to put on the mic cord. Then I bought a model 274-017 XLR balanced adapter to plug it into a 3 prong mic port. Since the Audio-Technica system comes with a battery/preamp, you don't need a direct box. I plugged the mini adapter into the back of the balanced adapter and the whole thing into the mic port on my Fender amp system. Works like a charm and was suggested by my buddy who runs a recording studio. Just remember to turn the mic off when you're not using it so you don't run down the battery. You'll get very little sound out of it otherwise if the battery is dead. If your system has phantom power, it may work without the battery, haven't tried that yet. Probably spent about $20 total on the two adapters. Good luck! Kerry

The WB98H/C plugs into a "body pack" (sold separately) that attaches to your hip and transmits a wireless signal. If you want to use it as a wired mic, it requires a Shure RPM626 preamp (sold separately). This mic requires one or the other: a body pack or a preamp. The primary market for this mic is people who will use it wirelessly.

The Shure SM 93 is the mic and the preamp as a unit. I have not tried to use just the mic on any other body pack.

You can only plug in XLR and the larger microphone inputs. You have to purchase a adapter to plug in a 3.5mm plug.

No problem. I use mine with a Logitech cam. The head seat is better if you move a lot or have to go away from the pc. You only need to chance the mic source in the Skype menu.

I purchased the Roland Cube to use for karaoke. I sing to recorded accompaniments generated on my laptop. So I purchased the Shure WH20XLR Dynamic Headset Microphone - (Wired) Includes 3-pin Male XLR Connector with Detachable Belt Clip at the same time. It is a headset mike. I plug the mike into one input and run a cable from my laptop to another input. The Roland handles that combination quite well for my purposes in front of an audience of around 100 elderly people. I am VERY pleased with the results!

That is correct. We plugged it into the transmitter that came with a lavalier mic that didn't work nearly as well. This product has been operating perfectly.

You can use wireless mics but the base for the wireless mic has to have the 2mm jackimnit sure on 2mm part

I looked up the Sony PCM-M10. I could not find anywhere in the manual mentioning that phantom power was provided. CS-10EM microphones are electret condenser microphones and need phantom power. I don't believe that it is the 48v that an audio interface would provide to a condenser mic, but may be as low as 1.5vdc. My Zoom H2n mic input provides power, so the CS-10EM works with it.

I have plugged it directly into my Canon Vixia HV40 and both the wireless and the corded microphone pick up great. I didn't get the lapel mic in my order, but the corded mic will plug into the wireless system and that worked fine too. I thought the sound was great. Here is a link to see how the sound picked up with just the camcorder powering the microphone:http://youtu.be/pmSCrXWNT5QMy wife works at a retirement community and we recently started doing a weekly news show for the residents.

The trouble with phantom power is the USB mixers don't provide much power--only 15V. Most HQ mics require 48V. The AT2035 only requires a minimum of 11V--so that's compatible. A dynamic powered mic may be the way to go...As stated earlier--the Shure SM 58 is the most popular for a reason.

Richard, The microphones are not wireless. You would need to order cables dependent on the length you need for your application. Respectfully, Merry

Nothing else. All the other equipment is the same as for any other mic. The mixer with phantom power is required, but most mixers provide it by default.
