Is the dp 311 easy enough for a blind user...and does it have a mic input?

We purchased ten of these for our svcs for students with disabilities program, the ease of use for visially impaired users is why we chose this product

I would say yes. First off, you'll reduce or eliminate the echo you get with hearing aids in a room. Secondly, I find the audio quality improved when compared to the onboard mics. I take this mic and place it front of stage at live music performances. One noticeable thing will be the audio delay when used with TV. Your dialog may be off slightly. My $200 TV transmitter from Siemens doesn't have any perceptible delay, but it does have a perceptibly larger price tag.

Well, it does have a mic input, but I don't think it's got phantom power (not sure about this but I've only seen phantom power with XLR connectors, not with the standard headphones connector), and you need it for your mic unless it's the usb version. If it's the XLR version then this won't be of any use for you since your mic won't work without the phantom power. I recommend you get a Mbox or anything similar.

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens.Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html

You can plug your mic into most P.C.'s.with out any thing else in line. As for the software: it should tell you what is necessary for every thing to work correctly.

According to the instructions, it has that capability, the mic is on the unit. I have not used that feature.

The mic is integrated into one of the ear pads. It produces an inferior experience for my listeners and some unintelligible speech. It CAN be used for telephone conversations, but it's not the best choice.

I can listen, but I've never attempted to speak in through the PC to the camera. I also use Blue Iris software.

Check out their website. I think the addition of a speaker Mic is addressed there. Sorry, but i don't remember the details.

My wife and I have similar problems and just bought a ZVOX 555. It has definitely made it easier to hear vocals. Vocals appear to be clearer to us on all settings and are further enhanced when the DE mode is enabled.

Hi, It seems there is no input for a mic, you will need to go to the next level, the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z29TYG, that has a mic input

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

The meter is easy to use but I just don't know how well a blind person could use it. I guess it really depends on the person, sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes, You just have to tweek sensitivity to match with handheld mic audio level...

I've used skype with my headset on a laptop...it automatically set itself as default mic in my case. It's a pretty high tech little unit that I would have gladly paid $100.00 more for and still not been disappointed. I used it primarily for Team Speak however, which does not include video.

Go for it. Set your software up to use the built in mike. Don't even bother plugging in the mike cable as it doesn't work and could confuse your computer and software. Amazing item for <$5
