I do tarot readings in noisy cafes & record them on phones. I want something that focuses on my voice and diminish the ambient noise. Will this do?

I have never tried it in an area like that. I'm not sure what type of mike would cancel out that much noise. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Yes. Not sure about a crowded room, but it does cut down ambient noise. I use mine for VO acting auditions and the quality is just fine. Hope this helps!

Yes. It is not as loud or good quality as if you were recording someone talking directly, but it is clearly audible.

It depends on what settings you have set to your computer. I'd definitely recommend headphones or disabling real-time playback of what the mic picks up.

It will record anything but will the result satisfy your own higher expectations for music, that the recording sounds like the performance itself? I doubt that. You want to look into other solutions from Blue Microphones and others if you want optimum fidelity in a good acoustic environment, that you gladly present for others to hear.

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.

I think so. My mother uses it during get-togethers and it does pick up a little background noise but all-in-all I would recommend it to put on the table during a dinner conversation.

I was told I sound quite loud. Used it for a phone call. No one had problems hearing me, but I would not use it for recording.

It will reduce the "eco", but also with a good microphone, and a good pre amp as a focusrite, or other one, will improve the queality of the audio. If you want more information, you can go to "Youtube" and look for imrproving audio when singing.Thanks,

Depending on what kind of meetings you are recording, this is a good microphone to use. Know that it is a two sided microphone and picks up all sound so you will need to adjust your recording levels. If the meetings are filled with lots of ambient noise this microphone will pick it up, but with the right recording levels you can minimize the noise.

I haven't used the recorder for anything other than for meetings. The quality is good for that but I'm not sure about a loud event. Sorry!

This helps with reverberation inside the room you are recording in. It may help some but you will need to adjust the Eq in on the mixer when recording to fully drown out the sound of the atmosphere

The mic is so sensitive for the sound around. I use it to pick up my saxophone playing but I have some problems for the disturbance between it and monitoring speakers. So I think it may work well to pick up all your sound to place it in the center our your semi-circle.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

Sorry, no. That is one thing about the amplifier is that it cannot differentiate sound, voices, and noise and does pick up all other voices and noises, even from other rooms. It is very powerful, but does work overall. for the affordable price, you may want to give it a try.

Hi Michael, I really love this mic! Last summer I performed with it at an outside venue and had no problems whatsoever with any ambient noise or feedback. I agree with one of your other responders in that a _hypercardioid_ microphone would your best bet, however, in a really noisy environment. The AKG D5S is a supercardiod model.

I am not an audio expert. However, I do use many of these lavalier microphones with my Sennheiser wireless system at my school's theatre. Noise will sometimes be a problem if the area around the microphone is noisy, especially outside where wind can be a significant problem (possibly reduced with a foam wind screen. Try a lavalier connected directly to your camera; I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the improved sound.

Hi Michael .D5 supercardiod microphone has a very good feedback suppression and filtered ambient noise well ,but if you need a microphone for noisy environment you must use one hypercardioid type, such as AKG D58.If you have more questions you can do.Regards, David.
