Can you put this microphone near a desktop computer and have it no pickup the keyboard typing noises ?

Hi there, I just tried it now. With the keyboard on the desk you can hear the typing sounds clearly in any of the four modes since the sound is transferred directly to the mic through the hard desk. Then I tried putting the keyboard on top of a folder and set the mic to cardioid mode, that worked. My voice was very clear and the keyboard sounds were extremely faint.

Yes but it depends on how much clack the keys have, and where your keyboard is located. I've had a little difficulty with the keyboard noise myself. I suggest you put the gain to 0 and put the input up a little bit. I suggest you get a wireless mouse and keyboard so you can move it to anywhere.

It really depends on whether or not you have a soft touch keyboard. The microphone is very sensitive and you can set the record feature to be one directional, but I doubt if the keyboarding sound will be eliminated completely. I use it with my desktop, but I never type at the same time. I wouldn't count on having the sound totally undetected.

It will pick up sounds only because of the vibrations on the desk, but if you put it on something else or a vibration absorbing object (blanket), no keyboard sounds. I have this mic and when recording gameplay I heard the keyboard. Now I just put a thick blanket my gramma made under it. Hope it helps!

Yes. You may want to remove the keyboard when doing this, but you don't have to. As long as you turn it off it should be fine either way.

I have this situation in theory. I have one side of the KVM attached to a ThinkPad. In practice, I dodged the problem by not caring about the mic and by attaching a Dragonfly USB Audio DAC to a USB port near the DisplayPort port, and the sound goes to the KVM from that.

Yes, using the monitor dial on mic itself, toggling between PC sound and your own, or setting accordingly until balance suites you. (using plugged in headphones into mic)

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly. In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless. Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices

It picks up a lot of background noise sometimes. Its really sensitive. It is a directional microphone, so its designed to pick up sounds from what's in front of it, if you set it up right in front of your desktop or keyboard, facing you, it won't pick up sounds behind it as much as if you were to turn the mic off the the sideways or something, if that makes sense? So there are ways to avoid it picking up unnecessary background noises.

The first thing to check is the setting you are using the mic on. Make sure you have tried all settings. Second thing is to remember that fan noise can be transmitted through the surface the mic is sitting on. If your computer and your mic are on the same desk, this could be an issue. The remedy is to put some type of foam or rubber pad between your computer and the desk.

If you do't wan't the microphone yes you can simply not have it hooked up. However the microphone is really only working in tandem with your headset mic or desktop mic to cancel out background noise. Hope that helps

Yes, but I don't recommend it for desktop use because you'll need to be in a great soundproof area and your desktop will have to be positioned close to you for it to pick up your voice. Tested it with an Apple iPhone and Apple iPad and you have to speak closely into the microphone for it to pickup your voice.

use a microphone with a stereo jack, like one used for a computer. my unit grounds out when using the mic jack.

I would suggest for you to buy a small sound interface to use the speaker with a keyboard! :)

No, you will have to mute the sound on your computer. But when the microphone is in the up position, the microphone becomes inactive. You can hear them but they can't hear you.

Most microphones are mono and use XLR or larger 1/4" ends. Some desktop PC mics will use 1/8" but still, this cable is stereo, so it would not be ideal for your needs.

My keystation needs the computer to produce sound. A computer program also needs to be installed for it to work.

This does not come with a desktop microphone. Only the sound card and an installation CD.

Yes, and one should consider the distance from the microphone, and keep the fingers off it. It is very small.
