I have purchased the Vocopro DA-1000Pro Mixer. When I turn on the mics they make a terrible scratching sound with the least little movement of my hand. I even wrapped the handle of the microphone thinking that would help. It does not. My main mics are Shure PG58 and PG48. I have two others of different brands that do the same thing.When I plug the mics directly into the speaker and bypass the mixer the noise is barely noticeable. This is the second mixer of this model I have used. I purchased my first one and it worked great for about month and then the mic noise started after about a month. So Amazon took it back and I purchased this one. It has a lot of great reviews so I ordered the very same model. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I hope some one will be able to help. Thank you.

Try to set mic all levels at 50% and keep the microphone away from speakers. Hope it will solve your problem.

I can only think of two things. is your mixer volume too high and would you need to set your speakers a different direction or further away from your Mic's.

I have the mixer obviously, I have not had any issue similar to what you are describing, perhaps trying the exact same mics and mic cords in another mixer, to field test them. If they work well on another mixer then it would be the voco pro. Sometimes it is not the mics it the cords. Just a thought

This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much. BUT, when I plug a mic into the line in, it doesn't work. I've gone through it to see if I have to tell it to use the line in and from what I can tell, it should be using it but I can only get the onboard mics to pic up sound. I have a TASCAM GB10 for my guitar and that thing kicks ass. I thought this was going to be another version of that but there's no guitar input as stated.As far as capacity it's all up to how much space you load into it. You use SD cards so if you put in a 2GB, I highly doubt you're going to record a set. So just get as big of a card as possible. This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all. =) In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

I actually returned my hisonic wireless mics. I didn't even get through one use and the mics quit working. Maybe you will have better luck, I have dealt with several different brands, this was my least favorite. For a sound system, it depends on what you want to do? There is a Fender Passport system that is very portable and will put out a good sound for small gatherings, it has multiple inputs so you can plug in an MP3 player, computer or iphone to play music. You can adjust the volume of the mic and music to get a good mix. Major lesson, either put the speakers on a stand or something above peoples heads that way everyone can hear it. If you put it on the floor, the sound will not travel through people and someone won't hear her.

No. It's a terrible microphone, and it's not worth the money, no matter how cheap it is. I would advise the audio technica at875r... Around $150, and it honestly performs nearly as well as mics I've used that cost literally 10-15 times as much. A little much for those on a reaaaally tight budget, but completely worth the investmentAudio-Technica AT875R Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone

I have heard from those I talk with on skype that the mic is buzzing a lot, and picks up background noises. It could be that my sound card isn't good enough to handle it, or that some of my settings are wrong (though I have tried to fix it for a while without luck).

If you are recording your voice, turn the second switch with the lines to the straight line, and the first switch turned to 0 to reduce background noise. If that doesn't work I would simply try recording in a quieter, smaller space.

Hi-- I haven't had this problem, so I'm wondering if it's due to the fact that my dog's collar hangs a little loose around his neck, so the microphone is not actually touching his fur... I' ve also realized that I don't even need to turn the collar on to make him think that it's on! Hope loosening might help a bit...

Probably a problem with the mic not the mixer I had a be behringer mic one time and it was nothing but problems from day one

I use mine to direct insert my guitar and keyboards to my computer. I have not noticed any "hum" in any of my recordings. I haven't use channel 1 (microphone vocal), so I can't help with the phantom powered channel.

The microphones worked for me but recording is not good quality. I don't recommend this machine. Acesonic BDK 2000 is better.

I haven't experienced any handling noise from this mic. It's on a shock mount. Once mounted it's as if it's "floating." Also has a low decibel cut switch that rids of most handling noise if there is any.

I bought a lapel mic at Radio Shack to use with ours, but couldn't get enough sound. I don't know if it was a microphone issue or the voice amplifier that was the problem though.

Yea, I was disappointed too, but the boom arm isn't strong enough to hold the mic and booth up. Sorry, but your easiest solution is a table mic stand> Good luck and happy voicing - take care & God bless. Jerry

I have not had any problems with grounding noise ... I use balanced cables for the microphone and a 1/4" cable from the mixing board to the Rolls. I would suggest trying a different mic cable and if you are plugging outputs from other powered resources (ex: amplifiers, mixers, effect pedals) into the Rolls, you may try plugging that output into a different resource to see if you get the same ground noise. Make sure all equipment that feeds into the Rolls is grounded from an electrical standpoint. If all these checks fail, then the Roll unit make be defective ....

Only owned this mic for about a month and so far the main problem i have with it is trying to keep the "s" sound from being too harsh, especially if i sing too close to it. The best sound i have gotten so far is when i sing with my mouth anywhere from 2 to 4 inches from it. I monitor with headphones when I do digital recordings and then listen back to the recordings through speakers. Based on the recordings i have made so far, I would say that if you are using this mic to record yourself talking or singing, and you are able do multiple takes if necessary to get your final product, then this mic should get the job done.

I haven't noticed an issue. I haven't used it with a mic that much, but the couple of times I have for basic voice overs, I had plenty of gain. It's USB powered, so there probably is something to the complaint of weaker gain in comparison with a standard interface or mixer, but again... I had plenty.
