How to set this mic up? If you connect it will it auto detect and start recording from the mic?

Assuming you are talking about connecting it to a camera, all you have to do is plug it in. The mic jack has a switch that cuts off the internal mic, so the answer is yes but not because of any onboard intelligence.

Hi Alan, I am having trouble setting up the microphone myself. I called the company and they sent me a notice for a representative to call me when it is convenient. I have not had a chance to setup a time to date.

You must have an XLR male connection (cord or cordless cube) to operate this mic. What you see in the pic is exactly what you get. I use this for voice recording and it works perfectly.

I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and record using software like Audacity. I presume you could plug it into any recording device with a microphone jack.

how do you get the external mic to work, the manual says it only has dubbing function..

Yes - but I don't know the sensitivity (threshold that triggers the mic). I use "always on" to avoid a break in the recording.

Returned mine but if recall correctly mic is built-in. Should install with camera driver installation and find it it in audio devices.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

Can anyone confirm that they have used this mic while recording video. I'm looking to record video and high quality audio without having to sync up the feeds

I don't know? I don't connect it to anything that has a microphone. Does your microphone work on your device with a headset plugged in? It would be the same principal.

either theres a problem with the jack or you have to change some settings around as soon as u plug it in on my computer a window pops up and my computer has a list of options to.choose from because it didnt recognize it and when i chose mic it worked

I don't see why you couldn't connect it if you have a 3.5 mm adapter, although I have never done that before. Not sure how it sounds when recording but to give you a suggestion, you might want to look for a different product because to me it doesn't seem like a good choice if you're trying to record a voice or something else. It's mostly good for live situations, like if you're plugging it into an amp to have a jam session. Hope this helps!

Mine works well, make sure everything is connected correctly, and that you have the microphone away from as much interference as possible.

Unfortunately no. The microphone takes a standard XLR cable to connect and you need a preamp and phantom power to get the microphone working. Your best bet would be to buy an audio interface.

Actually I contacted Gopro and the mic can connected via usb I need to go back and change my review I don't know how to do that ??? The review was based on what I saw on tube

You need something that provides phantom power for this mic. It may be included in the recorder you are plugging into (or amp/speaker), but otherwise you will need a preamp for it.

This mic is not made to be plugged into a camera directly! You need the transmitter and receiver as well! I got this to replace the mic that came with my audio package!

Make sure it comes with right connector. (4-Pin ??) You'll need to put a battery in the microphone as well.
