My DVR records only one audio channel. What do I need to mix 4(or8) mics into one recording channel?

To mix 4 or 8 or really any number of mics into one channel you will need a splitter to go from 1 to 4 (or how ever many you need). You may have to get two 1 to 4 and one one to 2 to mix 8 together. Or you get a mixing device which will be more expensive. Now of course if you do this the one channel that is recording is going to have all audio channels recording at the same time so if you have sound on all channels it will be hard to isolate one specific channel to listen to. You really want a separate recording channel for each mic unless you know you will never have audio on more than one mic at a time.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that you would need a mixer. A resistor from each mic to a common resistor across the DVR in would work, but probably with low volume. An active mixer would be better. In any case, it can be done, but you are going to have a lot of noises coming in to the one input.

some dvr can record up to 16 channel. most only 4.Anyway check your settings on the dvr it will have record video only or video and audio ( V ) or (V/A).You cannot mix them togather the first 4 channels are ment for audio each camera each mic

Yes it does on at least 1 channel. Depends on your machine, some have 2 channels to record audio.

The four channel DVR only supports 4 cameras. You have to buy the 8 or 16 channel for more cameras

You should not need anything else. It is a very simple system. We have 2 sets for our meetings-Each MIC is on a particular channel. When you have 2 systems plugged in at the same time and using 2 MICS that are both on the same channel, you may get feedback or the MIC may not work at all. When I set up the MICs for our meetings I make sure that all the mics are on a different channel...I hope this helps!

Yes , you can record on all channels at same time, although it will fill your hard drive up fast, but you can overwrite old footage to make room. Your ONLY able to review 4 channels back at same time, as the dvr continues to record. Hope that helps clear up things.

Buy yourself a tascam dr-40. Record audio to it by use of the xlr plugs and then pull the sd card and edit with your computer. If you only use 1 mic, you probably want an xlr y-splitter to ensure you don't get a channel of hiss.

Maybe what you need is a mixer to balance the volume of all the different mics and then record from the mixer. Sorry I can't help you further!

4CH DVR can connect with 4 cameras, 8CH DVR can connect with 8 cameras, thanks.

You will need an amplification system of some sort depending on your usage. You will also need 4 xlr cables if you intend to control each mic separately from a sound mixing board. I will be happy to advise further if you provide me with more information on how you plan to use the system.

This is a mic and power cord. The jack is an RCA type jack. If your DVR has RCA type inputs, you would plug this into one of the audio inputs. There are usually two audio inputs (one white, one red) and a video input (yellow). I recommend getting a splitter and feeding both inputs with the same signal.)

I capture both channels from the ART USB Dual pre into my DAW, which is Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio. I then have the option of mixing the channels to any degree that I want in the software, and then saving the final mix as a stereo sound or 2-channel mono.Of course, you also have the option of using just one mic. You will get a single channel output, which you can duplicate into your second channel (in your DAW software) and save the final mix as 2-channel mono.Hope this helps.

For stereo recording you need two mics in a stereo config with two channels. This is only one mic and a receiver. One channel. Mono recording only. Hth. ps. technically, i think, you can do a stereo recording with one mic but would have to do various recordings with the mic in different positions.

I believe all you need is a microphone port on your device. Do remember that this mic only works with one unit...buying two and trying to record two sources renders one of them useless (cancels the other out).

Yes. it will record 4 separate channels at the same time with one of the 4 on the tv screen.

I concur with Travis F. You can synch different microphones to the base (see manual) but only one at a time.

Only line inputs, not line outputs in channel 7/8. You can't record from the board and run monitors at the same time, only one or the other

- You can plug in a extra mics in the bottom, giving you the option to record 4 totally different channels at once.- The device will save it as 2 stereo files, regardless of what you do- Get the free audacity software. Drag the WAV files in, "Split Stereo to mono" and you are golden.
