I broadcast whiteboard workshops via WebEx in a classroom what kind of pick up does this mic have? Will this support a large room like a classroom?

I have a 12'x24' conference room with a 4'x16' table in the middle of the room that seats 4 people on each side. I have a CM-1000USB microphone in the middle of the table and 2 CM-1000 microphones attached to it on each side (about 5' from center). In a recent meeting, with people in the room and people in several remote locations, the presenter wandered around the room constantly. Even though the presenter wasn't wearing a microphone, the 3 microphones on the table picked her up so well that people in the remote locations had no difficulty hearing the presenter. Note that our meeting software has an audio meter and I am able to adjust microphone volume in Windows, if needed. I rarely need to adjust microphone volume (unless there is somebody who is, truly, softspoken talking). Note, as well, that multiple CM-1000's can be daisy-chained into each of the 2 channels of a single CM-1000USB. I don't recall the recommended maximum number of CM-1000's per channel but I have heard of people using 3 or 4 in each channel without any issues. By the way, when daisy-chaining, it isn't necessary to have an equal number of CM-1000's in each channel. It is okay to have 1 in one channel and 2 in the other channel.

I don't have the CX260, but I believe it will work. I think this mic is perfect for teaching a class. One bit of advice: don't bother clipping the mic directly to you. It's extremely sensitive (will definitely pick up any contact with a sweater, etc...). Test it out - you'll find that it works best if placed a few feet from the subject. Its a great mic though.

The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate. The microphone would not work well at that distance, I ended up using a MXL AC-404 (from Amazon) and it works flawlessly. I also route the sound out of this to portable speaker system if the crowd is more than 10-15 people, otherwise the built in speaker is fine. Our tech club has used this to webcast large meetings (40-60 people) in a large multi-purpose room (2000sf) and using the other microphone and the speaker output, it makes for a very professional presentation. In a much smaller venue, the device itself would be sufficient.

The microphone does pick up very well and has a nice noise cancelling option for background noise. I use it in a cube farm with other people talking around me and it works great!

We use the MXL AC404 for exactly this purpose, with about 30 people. The main factors to consider are the positioning and reverberation. This mic does an excellent job with either Skype, Hangouts, Flash Media Encoder, whatever.

It will pick it up! I highly recommend this Mic, I use it to record vocals even. Surprisingly exceptional quality for the price!

It depends on what you want to do with it in a home studio. I'd guess that the lack of buses kinda preclude using it in a traditional recording manner - where you have multiple sources that you're feeding to some sort of recording system. What are you looking to do?

Yes, the speaker is actually pretty good if you use it in a car or at your desk. I'm moving next week, and I'm not going to mess with getting a radio transciever, so I'm just going to use it's speaker. Also the recording microphone is great for classes.

A standard size mic on a tabletop stand or standard mic on an adjustable, floor standing stand will be fine. I have a Rode NT2L and a tabletop Blue mic.For the floor standing stand you will need to unzip the back of the booth and carefully put the boom through (attach the mic and pop filter after you do this) once it's all carefully set up in the booth you can zip the back up to leave space only for the boom and cable.Hope this is helpful and happy recording !

It picks up sound fairly well for an on-board mic. Still not something I would want to use by itself as the quality always sounds spacey. Any mic that has a mini-jack(same size as headphone..can't remember the name right now) will work. I have a rode videomic that I use with mine. It does have a mini-shoe so you'll need to purchase an adapter for that if you're going to want to mount basically any good microphone on it.

We use it for many web communications programs like Skype, GoTo, etc. It is plug and play and is really just a signif upgrade as a speaker and microphone. I am on Windows 7. My office loves it.

We use that mic at the church. People have said they hear speakers better and our recital people have used them with success. It was the best money spent so far.

i would research wireless mics, most of them are compatible, and will pick up the signal from the unit.

I'm using an Audio-Technica AT2020 USB condenser microphone with shock mount and desk stand. It fits fine. I need to be creative to fit script and any prompts inside the booth. There is a script clip at the back and the light is essential and handy. I'm currently sitting to record; standing might be more comfortable and therefore produce more favorable results.

You get what the picture shows.this is a great mic.It picks up a wide range. I would. Order more than one if I were you.I use 12volt for mine and co-axle cabe.hope this helps.

You need something that supplies the mic with Phantom Power and connects to your PC via USB. I would use something like a "MXL MICMATE PRO XLR To USB Preamp with gain". Then, you need a PC with a sound card that can handle the quality you require and an internet connection that can broadcast (upload) the amount of kbps you are wanting to send. Good Luck and happy recording!
