Could these 3 items be successfully used at meetings for people with very soft voices?

I think it would be fine. We have it plugged into a keyboard for the kid and the amplification isn't the greatest but I think it's just because of the speaker it is being projected out of. If you a better speaker, the mic would be great.

If you are in a small meeting room, I think they would be fine. I would not suggest for a large conference room. I bought this for children who want to be rock stars, but as an event planner by profession, that's my feedback.

I would think so. I've never tested them for vocal quality because I use mine when I teach

I love them for the convenience of being able to work on the computer while on conference calls; however, before the end of the day I have sore spots around my ears. My business partner also has these and he has a larger head than me and he said that he doesn't have any issues with it. This might not be helpful for you; guess it depends on how your head is shaped. It is definitely worth giving it a try.

The quality of the microphone is amazing so, as long as you are speaking reasonably clear. It should work perfectly!

Hi Scooby, the answer is yes. If you are going to be having a small to mid size conference and need better microphone pickup distance and sound, check out the Konftel 300ip or the Polycom Soundstation IP 6000.

From experience- this would be helpful... however, you can use a "home made" method to silence the dreaded "P's " (pops). I typically turn the Mic sideways towards my mouth and it responds well.

Only is the number of people attending the meeting don't get any higher than 10-15. That mic has a pretty decent pick-up range but the more people you add, the bigger the room will have to be and the bigger the room, the more mics you will need. If you have more than 15 people, then you might want to consider researching a more powerful mic with a broader range to ensure everyone's voice in the meeting is picked up fairly clear.

Absolutely, this is a great microphone set for book narrations. I use this myself for narrations and music creations. Enjoy and have fun!

The microphones (there are two) are reasonably solid and could easily be used to inflict blunt trauma, especially when used together. As to the extent of the trauma that would depend on your wife's strength and skill.

Yes, they would work very well for that. I use them at work to block out annoying co workers and my boss always telling me what to do. However the music volume doesn't go very loud because they are not amplified speakers. I don't use them often anymore tho because I don't have a job due to my lack of coherence.

It will certainly help. With music playing through them I would surmise that you will not be able to hear them at all. I should say though that the are a bit heavy and bulky for an office environment.

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 think that they would function using a computer based phone system. The microphone sounds good and would probably work from a quality standpoint. The only real consideration is comfort for a call center representative. I have no problems with 2 hours of use, but I would imagine that they might get uncomfortable after a full day of use.

I purchased the PKTD1H26 Ultra unit for my husband who is hard of hearing and has Alzheimers. He takes off his hearing aid when using the pocketalker and is able to engage in conversation much better than with just his hearing aid. It has adjustable volume and tone control. He uses it only for a meeting once a week when several people gather around a table and many voices are weak and low. We live in a retirement community. One other lady also has a similar device and uses it similarly for group meetings. We are happy with our purchase. As far as durability we have only had it for a few months so cannot speak to that. We hope it will last a good long while. I purchased the PKTD1H26 Ultra unit for my husband who is hard of hearing and has Alzheimers.

I have found that the 3D headphones (from Livescribe) does a great job in cutting ambient noise when recording in a conference setting (or in your case, classroom setting). Also, you can try setting the "Audio Quality" to High - the obvious downside is that your number of recorded hours goes down, but this has never been a problem for me as I sync my pen with Evernote almost daily.

Based on our experience with the product I would think so--it might just be a matter of positioning of the microphone. But it did pick up very well for us, in fact, we tried hiding/disguising it several different ways including under a handkerchief or clothing and it still picked up quite well. However, I was using it with stage voices, so we never really tried it with a whisper--but we did not have to shout in it. One reason we really liked it was because it picked up on normal voice level so our actors did not have to shout so loud anymore.

Yes, that would be possible using this device, however periods of silence may break up the speech into different tracks on the CD. Not a problem if you use a program like Audacity where you can reassemble the tracks into one track
