Don't know about the 2-Hi Definition Audio Device but the neck is flexible.

This is a Mono microphone. What do you expect? .... solution for you, simply go to radio shack and get a mono to stereo jack adapter. Costs a couple of bucks. I purchased mine on-online.

Yeah. It's good about that. However, I would suggest not getting this one. Mine crapped out after just four months. It may have ben that I was bending it up every which way a lot, and perhaps that messed up the wires. Just be forewarned: It may not last long, and you want to avoid bending the mic arm as much as possible.

I think its comparable but to be honest its not a good mic. I think it's either refurbished or a cheap fake. People complained about squealing when set anywhere above 4--5 using it below those settings makes it a useless purchase. I'm shopping for a replacement.

No, this is a cardioid pattern only microphone. The item description is incorrect, it is not a multi-pattern microphone.

The one I received was 3.5mm. As another user states: "The item was fulfilled by Amazon, so it was a processor at an Amazon.com warehouse that sent the incorrect mic. The packages are nearly identical and the connectors are hidden from view." It's possible that there are two models and it's a problem on Amazon's end that is causing people to receive both USB and 3.5mm mics. If you receive a USB version and were not expecting it, contact amazon support.

Hi .. this is a mono mic. made for desk or podium use in front of a speaker. It is a pro output XLR connector so will need a low (mic level) input or mixer to work. For the price can't be beat. We use their system of, I think 8 mics for roundtable conferences. They work great.

I bought a $60 or $70 audio-technica shotgun mic from full compass (fullcompass.com). The mic itself is great (very directional, good sound quality). Shotgun mics are the kind the pros use on a boom pole, but you can use it however you want. The only thing is that my SR1 creates a noticeable buzzing noise in the audio whenever it's recording. Some other people have the same problem. I'm waiting on that firmware update from sony to see if it helps. Just keep this in mind before you go spending a lot of money on a mic.

Sorry to say I haven't used mine much BUT, it does work. It will record your voice just fine. When you load MP3s it will also remove the voice track, but because it's blended in, you lose some of the music track as well. But, to just straight record your voice, it works fine. It has 2 external mic's but I would use a plug in. You have to be kinda close to the onboard mic's.I have used the GB10 guitar version extensively and that thing kicks butt so I would imagine this is no different. I have just used it in a very limited way.

"The mic", I had to buy a USB Converter, but I got mine for $2.18. So its not to bad. I got mine at ----> HDE 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter. The mic isn't powered, so it needs a usb converter. Plus almost all computers have usb, not line-in.

You might have to do some tricky routing if you want to use the flat microphone but this model comes with a boom Mic. I thought that this sena. Model came with some generous wiring. Give it a try, it is a really awesome gadget.

You nede an audio interface that will turn your analog mic signal into digita so you're computer will recognize itl. A low-cost interface, which does a decent job, is the Lexicon Alpha (which is the one I use). It cost around $55 and you can get it on Amazon. It doesn't have phantom power (which you need if your using a condenser mic) but that's OK, because the dbx has it. Keep in mind that both units have preamps, so you'll have to watch your levels. Anyway, you'll plug your mic cord (xlr) into the dbx, and from the dbx output, you'll go into the Lexicon input (you'll need a cord with a 1/4" male plug on both ends). I realize that a lot of folks use more expensive units, but if you've got the dbx, you don't need anything other than the Lexicon. Also -- The Lexicon has only one mic input, so if you're doing anything more than simple voiceovers, you'll also need a small mixer (and be careful in choosing one...Berringers have an bad hiss...stick with Mackie and you'll be OK).

I agree with Brandon that the onboard mic is extremely problematic, especially in post. The Zoom, which I use is somewhat complicated but a wonderful way to capture audio. The Fostex FR2 is a lot more expensive, but is a lot more user friendly. A sound board is also helpful to shape the sound, and to support multiple mics.

I tried to modify my AZden SGM-2X in an attempt to modify it for a special use and destroyed it. The wires inside are extremely tiny and I can see no way to repair it. Anyway, the few times I used the mic before destroying it I wasn't impressed with its abilities. I too was trying to use it inside. I wish I had at least tried it outside listening to birds or something. Sorry, I am no help.

Yes, I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12. This mic has worked well for over a year and a half and counting.

When you get the microphone, it comes in a nice brown, wooden box that is lined with snug black foam (it's great for transporting). They will also give you a shock mount with extra elastic bands (to be used when the bands on the shock mount stretch out). There is also a foam filter covering for your microphone (I don't recommend using that as the wind screen, though. It's extremely thick. It's more there to protect your microphone from dust) and instructions included within a soft plastic bag. You will need to buy your own XLR Female (Pin) to Male (cord) or any XLR converter that you wish (XLR to USB, etc). I will let you know as well that the shock mount is a bit flimsy and it is a tight squeeze for the mic (you'd have to pry open the shock mount to get the microphone back out). Personally, I'm trying to find a better shock mount but it is absolutely not necessary to get a different mount. Overall, this microphone is a quality microphone (for its price) and you truly cannot go wrong with buying it! Good luck! :)

I can't address any issues with this mic. as I bought it for my grandson's camera when filming deer hunts. I haven't heard anything negative from him, but am sure I would if it didn't perform well for him.
