User questions & answers

Question:	How is the AT2020PLUS different from the regular AT
Answer:	I have both. The AT2020 was great for general recording purposes, but for singing or voiceover I do LOVE the monitor jack and the slider. The slider will let you balance what comes into your monitor (your earbuds, headphones, whatever you plug in to the jack) so you can choose how much of the mic versus the PC comes into your ears. This gets important because if you rely on the PC to feed your voice back to you, there is a slight signal delay that can get awkward. You don't have to use the monitor, and it doesn't affect the act of recording. Hope that helps!
Question:	Does this work with windows 10? I need someone who actually uses it on win10 machine, not someone selling them. I have at2020 not working w/ win
Answer:	Yes, I'm running Windows 10 with Audacity recording software. By the way, with this one-directional mic, it's very important to be speaking INTO THE BLUE LIGHT behind the screen. That's the one-directional "sweet spot." And, you didn't ask, but I record (as do most of my professional colleagues now stuck at home) into the free software "Audacity." Some have found that If you plug in the mic AFTER you load Audacity, it may not recognize AT2020+ as a microphone choice, and while it may still record, the results will be unsatisfactory. If or when that happens, just restart Audacity AFTER plugging the USB into your computer and click on the AT2020+ option.
Question:	Is this a one-directional mic? I was told that a one-directional mic is best for recording podcasts
Answer:	Yes, and it's very important to be speaking INTO THE BLUE LIGHT behind the screen. That's the one-directional "sweet spot." And, you didn't ask, but I record (as do most of my professional colleagues now stuck at home) into the free software "Audacity." Some have found that If you plug in the mic AFTER you load Audacity, it may not recognize AT2020+ as a microphone choice and while it may still record, the results will be unsatisfactory. If or when that happens, just restart Audacity AFTER plugging the USB into your computer and click on the AT2020+ option.
Question:	is it possible to listen to a downloaded .mp3 instrumental (NOT instrument) on my PC and hear that while i record over it using this mic
Answer:	Yes, using the monitor dial on mic itself, toggling between PC sound and your own, or setting accordingly until balance suites you. (using plugged in headphones into mic)

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you connect multiple mv7 mics to the same computer via usb
Answer:	It’s maye a ruler and a half. If you purchase it make sure you apply the resin to the bow otherwise you will assume it doesn’t work 😂 my 4 year old loves it
Question:	Has anyone used this mic with the rode psa1 microphone boom - mainly, is the mic heavy enough
Answer:	It's very delicate, but it's a real violin. You could start with the Suzuki method and see if the 5 year old likes to play it. If so, you can decide to rent or buy a violin that fits the size of the child as she grows. The price is good as a starter instrument, and the pink color is adorable.
Question:	Being that this is a condenser mic, how much background noise does it pick up
Answer:	This is a small child size violin (3-5 years old). It can only be used with formal violin instruction by a violin teacher. The child can play the strings with the bow but it is not easy to play any tune without violin lessons.
Question:	why is this using micro usb? does this company know about USB type C
Answer:	This is a real violin perfect size for a 4-5 year old. My granddaughter like many girls, likes pink. She might take Suzuki lessons on it.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it work on ps
Answer:	I will opt for dynamic microphones for choir church band
Question:	Is there a link for the drivers
Answer:	No, these microphones operate on the UHF wireless spectrum. For example, Shure H10 Band is 542-572 MHz, which is below the 2.4GHz band. Be sure to check on Shure Wireless Frequency Finder page to see which band works best in your geographical area. Here's the link. https://www.shure.com/en-US/support/tools/frequency-finder
Question:	Does this product have a mute button
Answer:	Do you mean a single channel wireless system? The BLX14/CVL? In either case, yes, you will be able to run both systems simultaneously. Each frequency band of the BLX can run numerous transmitters at the same time without interfering with each other. If you also happen to have the BLX14/CVL, you can also purchase the BLX288/PG58 in the same frequency band so that you can have back up transmitters/receivers in case any of them fail.
Question:	Can I press the on board control to mute the mic
Answer:	Shure wireless receivers provide both XLR and 1/4" output for each channel. For the case of the dual channel receiver, you will need 2 cables.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could i use a microphone suspension boom to hold up this microphone
Answer:	Use a sticky cell phone gel pad. They cost about $5 and will keep your mount from sliding even in quick turns and hard braking. I bought one years ago and it is still working well. I always put my Garmin on the floor out of sight when parking it gets dirty but the gel pad on the dash works well anyway.
Question:	How long is the cord to plug into iPad
Answer:	It works great with the HD ecoroute dongle. Don't expect it to provide full OBD-II information, though, Garmin has limited information for ecoroute. It does provide mileage information, engine temp, rpm, engineload, battery voltage, ignition advance, air intake temp and some others. It shows five guages which can be switched out. It can reset the OBD-II, also. My vehicle has no temp guage and it kept flashing a check engine light - bad thermostat, stuck open. I replaced thermostat and now I can see actual temp.
Question:	How does this compare in sound quality vs the blue snowball
Answer:	A button press will toggle between camera and navigation mode. If the camera is wired to your reverse lights for power, your navigator can automatically display camera footage every time the vehicle is shifted into reverse (and back to navigation mode when shifted into a forward gear.)
Question:	Do you need a pop filter for this mic, or does it work well without
Answer:	According to the installation instructions for the BC20, the camera has a horizontal angle of 140 degrees and a vertical angle of 115 degrees, with a resolution of 640x480.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is a pop filter recommended
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Are returns/refunds available for this microphone
Answer:	This would need to be plugged into a microphone input....your computer likely doesn't have one built in. You can get a USB interface to plug this mic into, then USB into your computer. Or you could just get a USB microphone and a pair of headphones. This is an awesome package for it's price, but it will need to go into a mic input to work.
Question:	It refuses to turn on with my macbook pro. i have changed cables and ports. the previous model has no problems. any ideas
Answer:	You do not have to buy a recorder to use the mic and headphones.
Question:	It keeps having this constant annoying audio humming noise in the background when I plug my handphones into the mic, or play it back

User questions & answers

Question:	Have anybody used the mic to record music
Answer:	The cable that comes with the Nest IQ cameras uses USB-C connectors, however Nest states that the cables are molded specifically to fit the cameras and not to use them with other devices. I recommend contacting Nest and confirming if our USB2C5C4M would work as a replacement. Nick, StarTech.com Support.
Question:	what is the height of the mic on the stand
Answer:	Yes. The Kindle Fire has a micro USB connector.
Question:	The microphone its build in metal or plastic
Answer:	The one I received was 3 meters
Question:	Does this mic capture screaming husbands in the background? I stream and dont want gum to be heard from the next room over
Answer:	I'm currently using it to charge my LG G3 with no issues. I would assume that since the Nexus 5 is made by LG as well that it shouldn't be an issue either.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use in Pro Tools, with a 48Khz session
Answer:	Yes
Question:	just one more question, comes with its USB cable. because they do not see it in the description. thanks for your quick respons
Answer:	It comes with a cable but it is rather short. maybe around 3-4 feet long.
Question:	I lost the usb cord to connect the mic to my laptop. Where can I get one
Answer:	Just run to a Best Buy or jump on Amazon to find a micro-USB cord. It's universal, therefore you don't have to use the one that came with it and they are pretty inexpensive. You could even use the one that came with your smartphone (depending upon what kind of phone you have).
Question:	Could this work as a gaming microphone
Answer:	I use it for Dragon dictation. The mic is great for that purpose, but it's sensitive to external sound sources so I'm not sure it would work with speakers your playing game audio. If you do try it, play around with volume settings to get it right as sometimes too high or low volume affects recognition of commands.
