There are two plugs for the camera, one video, one audio. Plug audio into audio output on computer. Volume is controlled by voip device, eg Skype.

i just received it, and my sister could not hear me at all. Please help, if you know how. I don't think that the microphone works!

The mic is built into the monitor. You just have to connect the webcam to a computer by way of USB and configure it. A software program comes with the monitor that runs the webcam and mic.

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

hey thanks for the info! as it turns out, my camera DOES have a mic input. boy do I feel stupid :) but i guess I won't need this one after all. I do think that it would work in a pinch, and thanks again for taking the time to respond-SelArom

Mics don't really have a compatibility thing, Its not a program. It will work on pretty much anything.

We plugged it into the microphone jack on our computer.Then, you need a program to use the microphone for recording. We used a free program called Audacity.

You can always set that option through playback devices in Windows. Just right click on the mic device in playback and choose listen to.

Plug in both cords (the USB and audio) into the ports on your computer before turning your computer on. You can check them by using the program that you want a web cam for (i.e. Skype, IM video, etc.). You can also click on the start button on your desktop -> Control Panel -> Sound and/or Speech Recording.

You need a XLR to USB adapter, but I don't recommend using this mic for a computer. You are better off with a Blue Yeti mic: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1378294788&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+yeti+usb+microphone

Hey Keith, Sure. Plug it into your system using a USB cable and then make sure it's selected as your systems mic in webex and you'll be good. I actually use Adobe Connect but they are very similar. Works well for a group around a table or the like. The biggest mistake you can make is plugging it into your computer but then not selecting it as the active mic. Cheers.

You must have an XLR male connection (cord or cordless cube) to operate this mic. What you see in the pic is exactly what you get. I use this for voice recording and it works perfectly.

You can hook up any type of mic. Usually a shotgun mic is used for on camera.

Should work if you use the Microphone jack on computer rather than USB port. But because your mic jack on computer is not balanced, you would need an XLR to 1/8 adapter, making sure to use pins 1 and 2 and ignoring pin 3 on XLR. These adapters are available here.

how do you get the external mic to work, the manual says it only has dubbing function..

If you have Skype on it there should also be a microphone. Go to control panel then click on hardware & sounds to look for it.

You need a computer and a software. Then, you plug your mic to the unit and the USB interface cable to the computer. Good luck!
