1 Great microphone for voice chatting, DISABLE old mic first
After plugging this usb microphone into my win2k system. I found the volume of
the voice recorded is very small, with much background noise. And I can not
record clearly unless I speak very close to the microphone. I was very
disappointed at first, thinking I'm buying the wrong thing. Later I noticed
there are two different microphone controls in the volume setting dialog. One
is the mic of my sound card, and another one is this USB device. I tried to
disable the onboard mic and set the volume of the USB one to maximum, then I
started recording... Much to my surprise, this time the voice quality was
superior!! I phoned a friend in China for ten minutes using skype, and the
conversation is very clear even I placed the mic far from my mouth! Then I
recorded a song of mine with cooledit 2.0. Again I get superior voice
recording quality! There is almost no background noise so I think I will not
use the noise reduction feature of cooledit any more! The USB cable is also
long enough to place the mic far from computer when singing. Be sure to
DISABLE onboard mic when using this USB microphone.
2 Great for the technically challenged!
My daughter is an aspiring pop singer. Neither of us has alot of tech ability. We wanted something simple to use so we could record her singing on the computer. After viewing several options we decided to purchase the Logitech.
The mic arrived assembled in its package. All we had to do was figure out how to plug it in the computers USB port. Next we followed the booklets instructions to go to sound recorder in programs and click the record button. Easy enough since it clearly described where to find this in the instruction booklet. She sang a snippet and the book says if you press play and hear your voice it works (yes the book actually says this).
Well we clicked play and heard her voice - crystal clear. Very simple!
The microphone looks odd in the picture, but its actually very sleek. Its shaped like a noodle and about 9 inches tall. Its very slim. Because it pivots forwards and backwards on the base its easy to adjust. The base has a button to turn it on and off. My daughter is used to a traditional mic but she enjoyed this one.
Great little mic for the money!
