I am video taping. Will this mic help to pick up voices 10 feet away?

It would, but only if it is quiet except for the noise. I just about an hour ago got my delivery of this item and the H1 Recorder. Playing around with it, it seems to work amazingly well. I had the tv on about 5 feet away from me and you could hear it, but not very loudly. It was clear, but quiet. If there is any ambient noise, you wont pick up clearly from 10 feet away

No. This microphone is a lavaliere or lapel mic and is designed to pick up the voice of the wearer. You will need a 'shotgun' type microphone for what you want to do, or a camera mounted microphone that is designed for wide areas.

I would think it would. I was using mine for recording my outdoor program and we had pretty good success. One time, the camera microphone acted up while we were on the lake in my bass boat and we positioned the Audio-Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier mic to finish up the segment. My boat is almost 20 foot long and the camera was in the read of the boat. EVERY word I said was heard crystal clear with GREAT sound quality.

If you have line-of-sight between the mic and receiver AND it is 30' or less, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, save up a bit more and get a better system.

Shawn, this mic is pretty great. I use it occasionally when I don't want to wear my gaming headset. It offers good voice communications and to help you, I've measured the mic - the cord is exactly 6 feet long. I also decided to test the quality of this mic upon first receiving it. Your voice can be picked up by this mic if you are WHISPERING even ~6 feet away. So if you have the mic pointing in the general direction you are, it will work fantastic... though your voice may sound like it is a couple feet away... if you are, of course. Overall, it's a great mic they threw in with this sound card! Hope this helped, take care!

The MXL picks up voices with surprising clarify from 15-20 feet away and more. It is very small and compact. You should use a set of speakers that can connect to the MXL via 3.5mm cable. Then it becomes a mic and speakers combo. I think you will find this device very useful as I have. :)

This unit will not interfer with your vision nor will it impair your audio. The instructions that come with it show you how to place the mic near the corner of your mouth (approx 6 inches out).

Yes if you are in a quiet area. Any background noise will negatively affect the microphones performance. ~G

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.

This would work really well for that. The only problem I could think you might have. The mic picks up everything so is there is a lot of background noise you will hear it all

Should work fine as long as you speak clearly into the mic when recording. Ours sounds clear even though it is inside a stuffed animal with cotton stuffing all around it.

I use it in a courtroom and it picks up people's voices from a good distance. I'm not a good judge of distance but I would say at least 15 feet away. Hope that helps. I have had many microphones and this has performed the best by far.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

As said, it depends on the distance, but if you can hear it yourself, the mic will pick it up. You may want to increase the sensitivity to +20db, though. In any case set your camcorder's mic level as low as possible, or you will get a lot of noise. This is in general a good idea from my experience (I am using a Sony CX730)

Hi Scooby, the answer is yes. If you are going to be having a small to mid size conference and need better microphone pickup distance and sound, check out the Konftel 300ip or the Polycom Soundstation IP 6000.

It depends on what settings you have set to your computer. I'd definitely recommend headphones or disabling real-time playback of what the mic picks up.

This microphone will work for that but the quality will not be great. In order to capture the voice loud enough you would have to turn up the sensitivity in your camera which will add in a hissing noise. It will be alot better than the internal mic especially if your using a dslr.

Not very far. Maybe ten feet not even. This isn't a professional mic by any means really, just a slightly better substitute to your internal camera mic.

I wouldn't recommend using in the lecture environment because you will have to have one of your hand holding the mic close to your lips(less than 10cm). I would rather recommend looking up a wired(lengthy) tie-pin mic type.
