What's the frequency response for this mic? The description mentions 24-bit/96kHz recording, implying a frequency response of around 48kHz.

North America runs off 60hz.... Sound quality is good. :) I like it and use it often.

I think 20hz-20khz if I recall correctly? It can record at 24bits at either 44.1, 48 or 96khz (as in samples per second). HTH

Frequency response implies a lower and upper frequency and signal amplitude variation measured in decibels. For the RODE iXY that is 20Hz to 20KHz +/- 3dB in other words pretty flat. 48KHz is the maximum frequency that can be digitised by a 96KHz sampling frequency (the Nyquist criterion). You can access further details on the microphone by Googling RODE iXY Specs.

That's not incredibly high, it just means that they are using a minimum of 16 bit arithmetic which is about 98 dB. Perhaps its 24 bit audio sampling, I am not sure, but this is possible.

This unit is not something you'd purchase from Radio Shack or a consumer electronic store but then again you never know. The cable you'd use would have an XLR jack on it. Actually 2 a male and female. Then you'd use any mic you want that takes a XLR cable. XLR jack have 3 prongs ok? Consumer mics have either a 1/4 jack or mini 1/8 jack which gives you a ot of noise. Some people want that when they want a lo fi sound. So it's not the mic but the cable. And yeah it has 48 volts of Phantom power.

The mic has 2 settings: 90 and 120 degrees. If you google microphone wiki, they show patterns of omni, cardioid and some others. I think 120 easily fits within cardioid. Thus the frequency response should not be as good as a true omni. It does have nice rubber vibration isolation in the base. Do not know about 2nd part of your question.

I'm using it for a donkey kong cabinet speaker, so I probably wouldn't be the best person to ask about frequency response. It works great though. :)

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

i have a created some recordings and have used the mic with some distance and let my normal voice, it sounds awesome! check the podcast i created with that microphone! http://traffic.libsyn.com/crmbuzz/CRMBuzz001.mp3

Sounds like your mic is too close to the radio speaker. Not sure what else it could be. You're getting feedback for some reason.

The quality isn't what I would call "Digital Reference". I've used it quite a bit for recording speech for video, and it's suited quite well for that. I haven't had the opportunity to determine it's low end response, so recording bass...thunder, waves crashing or live music might be asking more if this microphone than it was designed for...

The mics in this recorder are sensitive. It might sound s little bit tinny that way, but it will do it.

Yes, recording quality is very high. Be sure to dampen vibration with a microfiber cloth, place the mic the correct distance away, and properly set the levels on your recording software. If you do this, this mic will meet ir exceed any other USB mic, regardless of size or price.

Dynamic mics don't need 48v phantom power, I never tried that way. Good luck

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

I would not rely on this mic for a high quality recording, or even a decent recording. Especially not for micing amplifiers or acoustic instruments. Get a cheap MXL condenser mic.

I don't know the exact DB range but this unit has exceptionally quite preamps. I have used it many times to record direct outs from a board during a live performance and have always been happy with the sound quality! Be sure to set the unit to 24bit depth recording in the option menu.

This depends on your sample rate and de bith depth but for a recording of WAV 16Bit/ 44.1kHz a 2GB recording makes it 6hrs 45min recording. I find it enough. A stereo on the same format will last 3H 22minA 24Bit 48kHz on stereo will last 2h04min

Definitive technology is well known to report an exaggerated frequency response. Does the subwoofer make a tiny bit of noise at 14hz? Maybe, but you won't be able to feel it, and obviously you can't hear it. A more accurate way to report subwoofer performance is to report the +/- 3db performance. For the Sc6000, the +/-3db was recorded as 28-96hz by Sound and Vision. Clearly their performance response is exaggerated. HOWEVER, for the size and price of this subwoofer, it really does sound very good, but if you can fit a larger subwoofer, there are many examples that will easily outperform the SC6000.
