Will this mic work for interviewing 2 elderly people sitting down? How close does the mic have to be in order to hear both of them clearly. What about 3 people, me being the interviewer?

I think for two it would work okay. I'd be leery of 3 people unless they were all in front of the mic (and that's not likely).

If all the people will be on front of the mic, it will work great. This mic records from one direction only, if you'll be interviewing from the back of it, that might be a problem.

So far it has worked well. Multiple voices are fine and distance has not been an issue.

it had two settings on the mic for far and near! i think it would work pretty well for what you need.

The mic works good, but If you position it to the back of your neck It's kind of hard for others to hear you. You have to move it to the front.

It depends on the interview. Using this during a one on one interview would be just fine, recording in a lecture hall maybe not as well. The closer to the source, the better. I would recommend using this with the app Voice Record Pro from Bejbej apps. The app has individual gain and silence detection controls. Of course with any mic, testing it out is essential.

It will work as long as you are close to it. The sound quality is fantastic but the microphone isn't that great. So you need to be within a few feet if the speaker for your audience to hear you.

It should work fine for you. If you should find that you sound too far away from the mic you can increase the gain (microphone sensitivity) or perhaps just increasing the volume level of the input device (the mic) in the settings of the recording software you are using. I have two ATR2100's and have used them connected by USB directly to my computer for my podcast. There is another way to get the sound you are looking for without having the mic in the shot, and a lot of vloggers do this, which is to record the audio separately from the video (record the audio in Audacity--a free audio recording software I use--or another such as Garage Band and record the video in what software program you usually would) and then sync the audio and video afterward. Just clap on camera to get your sync point and then cut that part out after you've sync'd them up. Let me know if you have questions! Ethan at LATBpodcast dot com

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.

Sandra M, understanding that its not a high quality system its pretty reliable for its price range. If you hold the mic at the bottom where your hand can touch the antenae you may get some interference. I used it in an awards presentation on a stand by the podium. The received was some 60 feet away and it worked fine. So I think you should be OK to go.

The mic was actually ok. I could hear the person clear. I asked my coworker to pick check on the sound quality, she answer the phone through speaker first and she couldn't hear me. Then she picked up the phone and said she could hear me but it was low.

Most likely not. This is more for an in home studio recording. Additionally, the area around the mic that picks up voice rather small, you would need a mic for every 2-3 people.

I don't think this would be the best option for you. I have a deep and loud voice and I had to keep the mic pretty close to my mouth so that it would pick up my voice for a clear sound. I couldn't say for sure whether it will or will not pick up your grandmother's voice, but I'm taking a guess that you might have an issue. Also keep in mind that the speaker gets pretty heavy with all the batteries it takes.

I'm no expert but, any good mic requires you to be fairly close unless you are looking at using a shotgun mic. With this mic, I suggest you be about a fist length away. This is an extremely good mic, it compares to my Heil PR 40 which cost me about $340.

I have a Nion D3200 and use this mic for interviews and record events. In regards to interviews, I'm about 4 to 6 feet away and the audio is really good. But, you do have to adjust the audio settings within the camera. Do not use the auto settings in the camera, or you may think the mic is not good, but use the manuel settings to adjust for the recording. Also, when you work with the video in whatever editing software, you can adjust even more with the program.

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

This is more for recordings where you keep your mouth really close to the mic. If you have quiet a few people around and sit it in the middle and just chat, it would work but the voices would sound pretty distant and its going to pick up all the noises in the background of the pub.

The mics in this recorder are sensitive. It might sound s little bit tinny that way, but it will do it.
