Recently got this mic.. Getting a lot of hissing noise at all settings, with my canon t3i.. (its connected, green light on). Any settings advice?

Idk. We have a Nikon 3200 and have no issues. It's a simple plug and play. Only issue we had was when it was off. Lol

I am sorry I was not able to get to you as I was in Reno NV yesterday, however, I did test the microphone and it works beautiful. There are four things I can think off that might be the cause 1) change the battery and make sure is inserted correctly, 2) Make sure the stereo insert from mic to camera are pushed all the way, 3) Make sure that you check the settings of your camera, and perhaps test the mic on your computer or another camera, 4) The mic could be defective in which you should contact amazon for an exchange. Other than that, the mic works remarkably good for the price. It sounds better at 0 db. I hope that answers your question(s) and best of luck!

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

Yes, same result here. Really unhappy as the noise was unacceptable when used with my Cannon Rebel T2i

Brian - I don't know. But I can tell you, this mic is not something I would recommend. When I use it with my Canon T3i Camera, the camera supplies the voltage needed for the microphone (the mic doesn't have internal batteries). Sometimes, the camera voltage is too low and the microphone sounds very distorted. In addition, it tends to fluctuate in output - getting loud, then soft. A better choice would probably be one of the inexpensive Audio Technica battery powered mics. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

That is noise from the Canon M. I have the same problem. It sounds a lot better on records with less internal noise.

Yes, this is an external sound card, you plug it in with a USB cord. You will plug in your mic into the sound card. The reason you are getting a hiss is probably due you using the mic on the laptop. The hiss that occurs then is from the laptop fan being close to the mic. I had the same issue.

I have had this unit for almost a year in live application and have not experienced any unusual noise or hiss. I am sure if the gain structure is wrong any unit could have the potential for noise. hope that's what you wanted to hear

That is what I had awhile back. You will hear a different. There is no more hissing or noise in the background. The copper wall in the card that divide the circuits is a plus to prevent the noise and hissing.

Mine hisses. its not a loud hiss tho.... i only really play on the clean setting. You can get a pedal that reduces hiss.

We have had the same issue with this microphone. If you still have the packaging, send it back!

Try reinstalling the software. Mine acts that way sometimes. I know the camera price is low end of this type of camera, and I didn't expect a superior audio hardware. Given the fluctuation of the audio quality, I assumed the buzzing issue has more to do with either the camera software or the internet connection or both, more so than the hardware itself (other wise why I get better audio than buzzing sometimes?)

I own the Rebel t3i and it is compatible, it should essentially be compatible. I'd recommend maybe looking into other mics. They might be more expensive but the quality will be a lot better. I wasn't exceptionally thrilled with it, But with the mic being so cheap it's expected.

You need a 3.5 mm, mic input. I have canon t3i. This is not a great mic it's ok

Ok, it is presumed that your mic is set up properly! If you need to reset the unit constantly, return the equipment. It seems you got a "lemon."

I don't know if this will help, but have you turned AGC or Automatic Gain Control off on your camera? There is also a switch in the battery compartment of the mic to change the output level from 0db, -10db, and -20db.

It's a really nice mic for a headset. There's a very slight hissing that I'm told only I notice (Because I'm listening for it), but otherwise it's super clear; Doesn't pick up sounds like my AC at all.

there is a internal mic located adjacent to the webcam, however mine built-in mic is not working. I don't know if others are having the same problem. I just got my AAO yesterday... I'm returning my shipment back to Amazon.
