This microphone is excellent and has a multi-directional capability. I have used it for recording live music, webcastings and other uses with the need to capture more than one voice or sound. For the money this is an excellent mic and functions with ease.

Cynthia, your PC should have two mini jacks, one for a mic and the other for a headset. plug it into the mic jack. The next challenge is figuring out how to get it to work. If you are using a MAC, I can't help, but ig you are using a PC running any version of Windows you may have to go to the speaker symbol on the task bar in the far right side on my systems, right click and open recording devices. To record you may want to load Audacity, a free sound audio recording/editor. My mic had a touchy on/off switch, but it works fine now. The Sound controls are also available in the Control Panel. Good luck. I live mine.

Ya it's possible, you just need an XLR M-F Cable. Then connect your mic via XLR M-F cable to the Nady phantom unit and then XLR F-3.5mm to your Mac's mic in. Hope this helps you.

The mic is a USB interface device. So if your mac has usb ports, then it probably will. Can't say for sure though, I'm a PC. You can rotate the mic and wear it on left or right ear. Cord is about 7 feet long. Quality is about a 4/10 in terms of sound. I hear cracking and lite poping often enough. But it works find for talking to my friends on teamspeak while we play video games. Should work fine for any other voice communication application (like skype).The device is its own sound/audio device. So you can set your voice over application (like skype or teamspeak) to this specific device and still have music or video game sound come out your primary speakers.

There is an XLR version (connect to computer via audio interface), and a USB version, connect directly to the computer. Based on how you are going to use it, I highly recommend the XLR version. Pick up a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, a good mike cable and mic stand all for around $300, (new)-- you'll be very happy with the results!

Hi AX-1000 has 2x3.5mm audio and microphone phone. If your Mac computer has both ports, it will work. If you have only one 1x3.5mm audio-Mic port, please purchase additionally a 2-in-1 audio/microphone cable. If not, only the audio port will work.

You'll also need a small amplifier to boost the signal into the computer. I ordered the same microphone for my daughter and added the Alctron PS100 power supply (about $50). It works well.

Yes it does, I have used it with Reason, and Audacity on Windows 7 and GarageBand on OS X for Mac. This is an awesome microphone that is well underpriced.. But I don't ever see that being a problem for the consumer. ;)

It should, but not as well as windows version. Check software requirements. Mac version crashes a lot. Consider purpose of use. Also buy a really good mic and not one from nuance, Quality of mic matters a lot! It comes with 30 day money back if buying from nuance.

You need an audio interface to connect it to your mac. The quality of the interface will effect the mics sound but it is sole due to the ad converter in the audio interface

I have a Mac and use these microphones, but they do not plug directly into my Mac. They go into a phantom power source when then plugs into my Mac. I have a Presonus power source which plugs into my Mac. I also have an Appoggee Duet but I like the Presonus much better for sound quality. The AT4040 is a super microphone and great for vocal, guitar, or other live instruments. I have used them to record live piano, guitar, flute, violin, voice, and penny whistle. For the money they are absolutely fantastic.

This microphone would work perfectly fine for that. What you will want to do, however, is download a free program called Audacity. Audacity will let you record your voice through the mic, and will allow you to export the audio file with any name into a massive variety of formats from .mp3 to WAV file types once you have recorded what you want.

only if it has onboard power. I use this cable with a microphone that has a 9volt battery inside it ! works perfectly but the mac does NOT provide phantom power. If your mic requires phantom power this cable will not work. You will need a mix board, there are some inexpensive ones for around $100 that will work.

They make similar looking mics that are made to connevt directly to usb and come with built in table stands...look for one of those, this won't be what you're looking for.

Rode VideoMic Pro (not the other two non-pro versions, which are not better than TM700's built-in mic) seems to be your best choice. $229 from B&H.

The short answer is actually no. The problem is that all modern Macs (since 2012 or 2013) use an integrated 3.5mm jack for both the output and input (mic). So if you want to use the mic with a Mac, you will need to purchase a USB converter.

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?
