Does raising the boom mic to the up position mute the mic?

No... it does not. To mute the mic, you must press Vol+ and Vol- simultaneously for 3 seconds.

No, it doesn't. But they can't hear you talk when it's in the air because it's so far away from your mouth. It does pick up some background noise.

Depends how loud you are talking about, this type of mic has narrow pick up pattern, but if put it too close to the source of noise, it probably will have some minimal effect on it.

On the EPL-1 the gain (volume) is automatic. I get my best sound recordings when I use a micro extension coax cable to put the microphone with its clip extremely close to the person that I'm recording. Putting the mic close to the sound source can help to isolate the sound you want from background noise, too. Here's a video that I did this way:http://youtu.be/FHWGCMxyo4U

yes, when you push the talk button it comes up on the left, push the button directly above the talk and it flashes mute as long as you have it muted!

No there is not, however there is an audible "click" when the microphone crosses a threshold, when pushed up, to indicate that it is muted.

There is no mute functionality on the mic through the headset. Muting has to be done through source controls.

Yes, you can use a mic stand with a boom and come in from over and behind. You can even use a mic stand with a second boom connected to the first boom for more precise placment

I don't quite remember but I don't think so, I believe it just has an enable/disable mic button and volume up/down controls

I have used it with various pro mics. The problem is not with the boom. The base is not heavy enough to counter the weight of the mic when the boom is at lower angles.

No, it doesn't mute your voice when you tuck the mic in, but I'm sure there's a way to manually mute yourself through your device.

No. The mic's just plug into the portable unit to extend the ability to be heard.

The unit swivels in the headset turn it until the Mic boom is inline with the headset band in other words if it were on your head the Mic would point strait up (the second picture of it shows the off position)

I know that it has a volume adjust. It's hard to say. You might have a level turned down somewhere on you audio chain.

As an addendum to my first answer, I use the mic stands fully extended straight up. I do not use the stands in a "studio boom mic" configuration as shown in the advertisement. I have to have the mics as high up as possible to minimize audience noise. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

The issue is probably on your phone itself or you have the mic positioned too far away from you. It needs to be within 3 feet. Mine is probably a little over 2 feet away from my mouth and as long as the volume on my phone is turned all the way up I have never had any issues being heard.

No, you will have to mute the sound on your computer. But when the microphone is in the up position, the microphone becomes inactive. You can hear them but they can't hear you.

Yes but it does not amplify the mic. Limited use for a conversation but if you're just listening its fine.
