Internal mic as well as vibration?

Reasons I got it was because (1) it was able to operate based on vibration and (2) because of the accuracy (+/- 1 cent). Vibration is the way I always use it whether a home alone or in a crowd, but in a crowd is where it really shines because it is not thrown off by external/background noise. Works very well.

The Pitchawk appears to have no microphone. The contact pickup and tuning work quite well for me.

No issues with external noise. You need to put the mic directly in front of your mouth to get the best sound. Other than that, make sure the engineer has good levels for you.

To add onto the other comment -- Yes, but this product is very cheaply made (picks up a lot of noise/static). Also, I had a bad experience with this particular seller. I suggest investing in a preamp (which provides power for your mic) to get the most out of your microphone. Especially a MXL. That's what I ended up doing and it was the best move.

I've not used it professionally. I try to record voice for videos and find that it picks up ambient noise, but would likely sound washed out if several were attempting to use it at the same time. As mentioned before, it is pretty necessary to be directly in front of the mic and pretty close to get good audio. I picked up a pop filter because I was so close. I hope that this helps.

I just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

Hi Michael,I really love this mic! Last summer I performed with it at an outside venue and had no problems whatsoever with any ambient noise or feedback. I agree with one of your other responders in that a _hypercardioid_ microphone would your best bet, however, in a really noisy environment. The AKG D5S is a supercardiod model.

Put the mic on a stand (when possible). That will eliminate the mechanical noise completely. Otherwise, the shock mount will reduce the noise quite a bit.

I would have to agree with the previous answers non expandable does not support external mics

Not at all. I have not noticed any issues with this Mic, this is the best one I've ever purchased!

No but the internal mic is really pretty decent, we use these on paranormal investigations and they work pretty good. I suppose it would depend on what kinda videos your gonna make. If it is relatively no background noise would be clear and with some would be distorted

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

I haven't run into this personally. But I'd imagine there's a two instances that would cause this. One - it's just picking up the noise of the keyboard like any other sound it picks up. Two - if you use a desktop stand and it's on the same surface and heavy typing sends vibration noise. With the latter, if it's a concern and you can't move the mic, you should be able to find a reasonable shockmount for it. With the former - get a quieter keyboard :)

If you want to spend a little more money for higher quality audio - I have this setup and it works great: a small high quality Audio-Technica stereo mic: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016ARZ9C/ with an excellent mounting bracket http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000065Q6B/

I use the Audio-Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone. it's cheap (twenty something bucks) and does a good job.

yes. it sounds like your mic is built into the mirror. you can always buy another mic and clip it somewhere

Very good question. I don't believe it's that noticible with or without if you have a really good quality mic. However I have the 200 dollar blue yeti so I can say it does improve overall quality
