One reviewer claimed that he could not use this product with a USB hub. If this is true, can it be used with a simple USB male-female extension cable?

I've never tried it with a hub. But, I have used it with an extension without any issues.

It could be that the reviewer's particular USB hub could not provide enough amperage to power the mic. Not all USB hubs are equal in this regard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hub#Power

You can use it with a hub, but you will not like the results. A hub introduces a ton of delay and jitter and will trash your recordings. I've used mine with a 15foot USB extension just fine.

I'm guessing it would do okay as long as the initial USB port you plug into is USB 3.0. I have 6 usb 2.0 drives and 1 usb 3.0 external drives hooked to my hub. The 3.0 drive just flys, but so does the others.

A usb Extension cable is compatible with the cable provided. You may also find longer cables the interfaces are standard ends not proprietary.

I am not familiar with your equipment, but from what you have described it should work just fine. One end is a "regular" USB end, the other end is a micro USB, NOT a micro USB end. I hope I've helped.r

Yes. I added a 10 foot USB extension cable and it works. It's just a normal USB type A Male to type A Female cable. I waterproofed the connection using a hot glue gun before I buried the cable. The big question is... How long of an extension cable can be used?

I don't know. I would suppose so if it is a USB connectivity as it does have a USB port...which you can extend with a hub if needed.

I found this link you might want to read first :http://forums.cnet.com/7723-13973_102-601738/usb-hub/It works fine for my computer expansion but it may not be 100 percent for your application.So far I've had no problems with mine breaking down.

I have used this device on different brands of netbooks and laptops and I have had no problems .I do agree with the previous reply that for additional ports you can use a USB hub

I personally have used this extension Plugable 10 Meter (32 Foot) USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Type A Male to A Female Plugable 10 Meter (32 Foot) USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Type A Male to A Female It is possible you may need a powered USB hub at the end of the extension but I did not. I have used it for a Logitech unifying receiver and this controller module. This specific extension cable is amplified. It may not work with a webcam or other higher-power peripherals but you should be good to go.

I don't know. It was supposed to be used with a USB hub, and the hub didn't work well.

I haven't tried, but theoretically any functionality present in the original USB 2.0 port on your computer should be preserved across the extension cord.

didn't try that, but i don't see why not. with a separate usb hub of course.

I don't think so I tried running a couple of devices directly off the cable and it actually would fail, it works great connected to a powered usb hub

You have to have a female to male USB converter. I'm still waiting for that but I would say prob?

I use a mixture of USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices. Everything I have connected to this hub worked as expected.

Genevieve, I would think it would fine as long as the devices on the USB hub don't require much power to operate, but any device that gets its power only from the USB port and has no power supply of its own could suffer, but I just don't know for sure since all I used it for was a printer and the printer has its own power of course. I wish I could give you a definitive answer on the power part, but I'm sure it would work with a USB hub just fine, especially if the hub has a power supply for itself.

No, it will not work as a USB hub at all. It will only charge elcectronic devices....
