What is the built in mic used for? To just enhance the sound? Thank you.

The mic is part of the electronic tuner, enabling it to "hear" the sound of each string as you pluck it to align its pitch correctly....LY

Are you talking about the tuner? It adjusts your guitar to the right tune but is kind of complicated to use. Hope you find this helpful.

You run this mic through something in between, like your camera, or a zoom h4, etc. Then use the headphone jack.

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 think you need a uni-directional mic for what you want. This is more a recording mic where sound comes from a single source.

Live? There is a built in mic, and you can use it to record voice tracks, but i wasn't able to add any effect to it. Even so, that would be a loop. And not "live". It's a fun machine.

Michael, A preamp depending on who makes it can do several things. It can boost the original microphones output gain to make the signal strength louder (stronger voltage wise) to the board or tape machine or wherever your connecting it to; It can make your specific type of microphone sound like another type of microphone. If your using a mic that needs phantom power it can act like a power supply supplying the 48Volts for the microphone to operate. Like a battery in the flashlight does for the bulb. It also can give you equalizer capabilities that aren't there with a straight signal from the microphones output so you can eq/contour your sound; and overall different types/styles of manufactured microphones sound different when they react to the sound pressure levels of the sounds they are picking up (air pressure in the envireoment being converted to an electrical signal so you can faithfully reproduce what you are putting the mic in front of (in your room ambient sounds/ Audiance applauses, yells, etc,.. people walking across the stage say in a play. So I hope that helps. I'll defer to anyone else who may have input for you. Overall, good success to you. Respectfully, R.E. Sliger ASCAP

I did not use the mic input, sorry. Only headphone jack. And it stopped working after less than a week. Sound now goes in and out. And sometimes doesn't work at all. Have to unplug and plug in my headphones several times to get it to work. Suffering it out til the new one I ordered comes in.

You can use a mixer device or a "Y" cable, but it is not designed to it. If you do it, both mics will have the effect on then.

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

I believe there is a mic that can be hooked up to it. As for the sound... I can say it does a decent job, however I usually keep sound off because in the past it was used as a dash cam.

This is an xlr cable. Often used for microphones of higher quality, like above $40 mics. What r u using it for?

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

It has an audio in...which I would guess it is at line input level, not intended for a microphone. That is what it seems to be to me.

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.

The microphone is built in. The cord connected goes in the microphone slot.

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.

If you attach a 2nd mic to filter background noise you will get excellent quality sound. By itself it's pretty good but, it will pick up any background noise so just don't podcast where there is a lot of that.
