I used this in a large room with about 100 people in the room. I put the mic on the speaker's stand and my camera was about 40 feet away in the back of the room. The microphone performed very well. It sounded like the speaker was standing right beside the camera. This mic works great. I am very happy with it. The only negative I have with it is that the mic is big and it has a bright blue light on it. So if someone has it on them and your filming them it looks funny. But because it works so good I have been able to hide it either out of sight of camera or behind a chair and it still worked just fine. I used this in a large room with about 100 people in the room.

I haven't used it in this type of setting however even in a outdoors location beside a busy road you get good recordings picking up the voice and not the background (a switch also allows background if required). I used black tape to cover the blue light on the remote mic when recording at night as it was too distracting. But if you don't intend to video the person its not really useable as a simple wireless mic.

I do not have a specific experience with skype and a conference room use of the Sony Blue Tooth mic. I used the mic on my camcorder videoing a church service. The Sony Blue Tooth mic was excellent. The recorder sound was with 100% clarity.

I have not used this mic inside, but it works great outdoor.I have used it at distances over 50 yards with great sound quality.

I have used it in an auditorium, where I was about 50 feet away from the speaker. There were about 100 people in the auditorium, and it worked flawlessly. I have also used it in a 30'x30' classroom with about 30 people in it, and it worked flawlessly then, too.

I've only used this for a real video camera. I don't think it works with Skype unless you were using a Sony video camera for your conversation, which would seem to be a big mess to me. Better keep this with the camera itself. Sounds great in that regard.

Mics do not require phantom power. Mine have worked well in meeting settings.

I would say about the range of a small conference room. Maybe something like a 12' x 12' room (with the device placed in the center of the room). Depends on the acoustics of the room and how loud/soft someone is speaking.

It most certainly has worked for me. I have plugged my QC15's with the integrated mic into my windows 8 laptop, Samsung 10.1" tab 2 tablet, and also my Samsung Galaxy note 2 smartphone. In each of these machines, i have used Skype to make phone calls and it has worked fine.

Thank you for your inquiry. This is a monitoring system, not designed for a microphone so you will need a separate wireless microphone system for your mic. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you!

I have a 12'x24' conference room with a 4'x16' table in the middle of the room that seats 4 people on each side. I have a CM-1000USB microphone in the middle of the table and 2 CM-1000 microphones attached to it on each side (about 5' from center). In a recent meeting, with people in the room and people in several remote locations, the presenter wandered around the room constantly. Even though the presenter wasn't wearing a microphone, the 3 microphones on the table picked her up so well that people in the remote locations had no difficulty hearing the presenter. Note that our meeting software has an audio meter and I am able to adjust microphone volume in Windows, if needed. I rarely need to adjust microphone volume (unless there is somebody who is, truly, softspoken talking). Note, as well, that multiple CM-1000's can be daisy-chained into each of the 2 channels of a single CM-1000USB. I don't recall the recommended maximum number of CM-1000's per channel but I have heard of people using 3 or 4 in each channel without any issues. By the way, when daisy-chaining, it isn't necessary to have an equal number of CM-1000's in each channel. It is okay to have 1 in one channel and 2 in the other channel.

Hi .. this mic is only a mic. In order for you to use it with a phone you need a mixer/pre-amp of some sort with a phone interface. You can use it with Skype on your computer if you use a Blue Microhones Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp - about $40 on Amazon. Then you can use it to talk to your callers and listen to them through your computer speakers. If you have a conference phone with an XLR connector this might work but I'm guessing not. Hope this helps. There is also a package on Amazon with 8 of these mics and a pre-amp that could work with a speaker phone as it has outputs that might match your phone system. Then you put a mic in front of each participant. There are push switches to talk buttons so unused mics can be turned off to eliminate background sounds. Hope this helps a bit. It is a pretty decent mic for the price. Enjoy.

I bought this for my son. He said it's not wireless, so he does not think you can use it as a mike for interviews. He has it on his desk, on a stand.

The unit itself does not have a wireless feature built in. It uses XLR inputs and outputs. If your mic has a separate unit that connects via XLR, then yes, it will work.

I bought this for my son. He claims that though the mic works with wireless and USB, the sound quality is better with USB.

You would need a long cord or a wireless transmitter. if your audio is mission critical, I would purchase a higher quality mic. This is great for events etc but not for video.

I have a Plantronics headset with mic and it has worked fine for me; though I have only used it for Go To Meeting calls.

We use this model wireless mic for the pastor and the musicians. It is not in the line of sight for notes or music. It is right in front of your mouth. The sound is clear and volume can be adjusted inside the transmitter.

Hi,I have used it in large conference rooms with up to 20 participants. The key is to place it in the middle of the room. The speaker volume was good. It will not allow for additional mics.

Only is the number of people attending the meeting don't get any higher than 10-15. That mic has a pretty decent pick-up range but the more people you add, the bigger the room will have to be and the bigger the room, the more mics you will need. If you have more than 15 people, then you might want to consider researching a more powerful mic with a broader range to ensure everyone's voice in the meeting is picked up fairly clear.

I haven't tried using one for Skype, but I would imagine if you could set the microphone to be an output as well as input it could work. I would check YouTube first before trying though.

That's right. I use mine with Skype all the time. Much better than the laptop mic and speakers.
