can i record multiple microphones simultaneously? for example: if i were interviewing two people.....

There is only 1 XLR input, The other inputs would require a mic pre-amp unless your mics can generate a line level signal (some do)

There's only one standard mic input, but there are two aux inputs with 1/4" jacks. You could plug one of the mics into an aux input and run two at the same time.

Twisterjester has said it all. If you need more than one XLR (Std mic input) channel, you need to look at other mixers.

It cannot use 2 mics at the same time since it only has 1 XLR input. I suppose if you have a mic with 1/4'' L and R jacks you could plug it into another channel, but I've never heard of that.You'd be better off getting the 802 or q802usb since they have 2 mic input channels. The q802usb has the added bonus of USB connectivity which sounds like you could use since you're using the Audio-Technically audio interfaces.

Yes. I plugged in another and it disabled the one. Also you can select which mic you want via the control panel on a window's computer.

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.

It is possible, but you need another microphone support line-in (but more like a mp3) input. This mixer is designed for solo microphone input. I do not recommend it to work with more than one.

I don't believe that you could connect two mikes to the unit unless you would try a splitter cable to make two inputs into one. I would say, however, that the unit has two very good mics on-board and if you buy the accessory pack with the tripod you could set the unit between the people and it will easily pick up both people.

I haven't tried it, but since it can be plugged into other recording jacks that accept both mic. and line inputs I don't know why not. However a direct line from the mic to the computer would prevent any static interference so if you can do that it would probably be best.

Yes, there is a mixed output either by 1/4" jack or XLR connection. Takes all four mics and puts onto one output.

You can plug two microphones into the transmitter, but the second mic would be tethered to the transmitter. This would be fine if you were, say interviewing someone at a table and you wanted to record both people. If you wanted to have two people moving around separately and wirelessly recording them, you'd need two systems.

will you be using both the Mics at the same time? coz this will only take ONE at a time. youneed a 3.5mm Stereo Audio Male to Male Cable to connect this beachTek to your Camcorder. Out from BeachTek, IN Camcorder.

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.

It depends on two things - 1: what kind of mics you have and 2: if you need all of the audio recorded into separate channels on the computer. If you have 6 mics that are XLR or need phantom power, then this will not suit your needs - this can only power 4 XLR mics. (If you have what are called dynamic mics with 1/4" plugs - or self powered condensor mics that can use 1/4" jacks - then you are fine). For the second part (about separate channels) it really depends what you want to be able to do. The USB part of this mixer records just two separate channels into the computer - the same as the left and right main output of the mixer. So if you were to use 6 mics you would have them all recorded, but all together. (Thus, if someone was too quiet, you could not just turn them up after the fact.) You can use the panning to get two completely separate tracks, but that's clearly not enough for what you're trying to do. If you want to record all 6 tracks independently you will need something more expensive. I hope this helps!

That depends. We have not used it for that purpose. The best way would be to split both the mic input and the computer audio output, mix them and then record onto a recorder (this one or another) directly through the line in input.

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.

That shouldn't be a problem. I have had two mics attached to a single camera and it worked fine. Adding a music source is just another input and shouldn't be any different that a third mic.

George, there are a number of apps that record multiple tracks.... It should work just fine. Are you going to mic your drums? You can likely only record one track at a time. If you are doing midi you should be able to record multiple tracks at a time but again that will depend on the app you choose.

Yes. The signals of the 2 mics will be reduced but if you have enough amplification then it should record. You just won't have the ability to adjust the recording level other than placement of the sound source(s)
