When this is activated, is it the only audio source for the recording, or does it blend with the audio from the built-in mic as well?

HiWhen its connected properly its the only audio in sound.This item world great

That depends on your camera. My XA10 will allow me to mix from the onboard mic and to isolate the WM-V1 when needed. I don't know if all cameras allow this or not.

When we use the wireless mics it overrides the built in mic. The sound is much better than the built in mic so it works great for us.

My Canon XA25 turns off the internal microphone when the WM-V1 is connected and powered on. If you turn the WM-V1 receiver switch off, the internal microphone comes back on.

It's the same as an audio input that many larger DSLRs have, yes. The mic is optional, quite cheap and bad quality especially compared to any zoom recorder.

No, you just plug it in. You just have make sure that the settings are to the mic after it is plugged in. I used it with Audacity and I just had to mess with the settings a bit to get it connected. No add-ons or anything is needed. Just the mic and the program. Super clear too!

TO be honest, I have not done a comparison between the two. But what I have found is that the built-in mic is of good quality for voice recording, even in a largish room. It has worked fine for me. I recorded in the mode where it just records when it has a voice to record. Been happy with this product.

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.

Check in the MixControl utility that you installed with the drivers and make sure that the channel your mic is plugged into isn't muted. If it is not, my guess is that it is an issue with the setup on your recording software. Depending on the program you are using, there should be an option in the audio preferences to hear your input signal.

The recorder works fine with its built-in microphone. A plug-in mike works OK too. The mike plug in the recorder is a round hole, 1/8 inch in diameter.

According to one review. It is output audio only. The mic is built into the device.

It seems that it does, or at least reduces it. I never seem to notice any interfering noises with the audio mic recording on my video clips. But the mic works much better than one would think. I`m satisfied with the mic while the AF is active. Being outboard of the Camera`s housing, it seems to avoid internal adjustment noises and picks up the ambient sound you desire. But it is a great stereo mic for editing the sound quality for playback. Just give it a try, I`m sure you`ll be pleased.

Does it take other microphones to make the quality of the recording better. If it does, what works?

hey thanks for the info! as it turns out, my camera DOES have a mic input. boy do I feel stupid :) but i guess I won't need this one after all. I do think that it would work in a pinch, and thanks again for taking the time to respond-SelArom

I've not used it professionally. I try to record voice for videos and find that it picks up ambient noise, but would likely sound washed out if several were attempting to use it at the same time. As mentioned before, it is pretty necessary to be directly in front of the mic and pretty close to get good audio. I picked up a pop filter because I was so close. I hope that this helps.

When you press the button, the microphone records what it can pick up. You can't pause it. If you have to redo it, you reset it and record over the last recording. I bought a 2-pack, and only 1 worked after a week. Sound quality is pretty good when they last.

From my experience the surround record mode works great, and u have all audio channels, to work with in video editing software, also there is a zoom feature that will shift audio forward, when zooming, and also a focus mode... guess it depends on the scene, and surrounding noise levels and what u plan on using it for.. external mic input ready aswell....

Here is the information from the operations guide: "This unit has provided special AUX IN jack, through this jack other audio sources can be connected to this unit and be amplified". That sounds (pardon the pun) like it might apply to a supplemental microphone. There is a built-in condenser mic. There are no instructions for recording from an external source.

Not sure exactly what you're asking, but the camera has an internal mixer that allows you to use both the internal and and external mic. I record shows and am often plugged directly into the sound board, but the band is live, not miked, and there has to be a mix between the actors and the band. Whatever sound is recorded is exported digitally, and the output is either HDMI or USB.

There is a variable speed control on the recorder. I haven't used it...but it's there. Can imagine it would be helpful if one was dictating into the machine.
