Could anyone recommend this for voiceover work? I create training videos &amp; need something much more portable than Blue Yeti I now have.

Yes, this will work fine for voiceover. A very good mic for such its size, able to record with clarity, and have a build in noise cancellation (it work pretty well, though not in the extreme setting with lots of surround noises).

I've never used the mic for chat, but it's quality for audio recording suggests to me it would be fine...especially for the price. I've not used it in videos, but based on my use in audio, it should be fine. Sorry couldn't be more definitive. I'd probably try it for those applications. Hope that helps a little.

I agree with Brandon that the onboard mic is extremely problematic, especially in post. The Zoom, which I use is somewhat complicated but a wonderful way to capture audio. The Fostex FR2 is a lot more expensive, but is a lot more user friendly. A sound board is also helpful to shape the sound, and to support multiple mics.

I have the gorilla pod for mine and I use it at least twice a week to record church sermons which I then post onto youtube. I don't know of an external mic although I've never had to use one the sound is great. I never have any trouble hearing the pastor from half way back in the church. Kim

I've been using it for years with the blue yeti, no problems. However, I'm also using this brass converter piece and I don't remember where I got it from or if it came with my mic/stand.

It sounds like you want to set up for a pod-cast or streaming show. Or at least a room-ready Skype solution. In any of those cases 6~10ft would be acceptable, but far from ideal. I'd really suggest if you're doing anything even close to professional like that, you go with a Blue Snowball. I have a Gino, and while it serves well for my needs at 2ft, if I was to expand I'd defiantly upgrade. ((Related Snowballs are on amazon sale at the moment, so now's as good a time as any.))

I've used this mic for a podcast, and it handles a speaking voice just fine. For instrumentals, I've had more success with the Blue Yeti.

I'm no professional but I believe the built-in mic(5.1ch) is superior to the directional(2.1ch?) that is included in this kit.During my first few times with the rig on the camera I found myself forgetting to turn on the external mic while it was plugged into the camera, resulting in no audio for those video recordings. Don't plan on using it for everyday recording and only if I need its directional capabilities.

TO be honest, I have not done a comparison between the two. But what I have found is that the built-in mic is of good quality for voice recording, even in a largish room. It has worked fine for me. I recorded in the mode where it just records when it has a voice to record. Been happy with this product.

This stand is too weak to hold the Yeti, I suggest getting the RODE PSA1 Swivel Mount Studio Microphone Boom Arm, It's a bit more pricey, but It's the only one at a low cost point beefy enough to hold the Blue Yeti up. You're also going to need a new shock mount if you havn't purchsed one already.

Not especially. I bought this mic, the clip broke and I have been unable to use it since without holding it. I Love Behringer products, but this is a really shoddily built mic. Id say save up a little more and get the Blu Yeti. 100x better quality and well built.

Use the microphone Audio-Technica AT2020 USB, everything is fine. Blue Yeti will work as well.

I have both the Blue Yeti and the GoMic. The Yeti is 200x better but the GoMic is ultra portable. I would suggest you take the heavy metal base off your Yeti and travel with that if you can. Just use a cup to hold it up =) The GoMic is my backup. I use it for my podcast (Travel Like a Boss)

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

To be honest,what's a blue yeti? I purchase a pair of mics and these stage foam ball,so far its pretty good.So in other words perhaps it may work for your blue yeti.

If the Microphone needs phantom power of 48vdc to run the microphone this will not work. Also impendence is part of the answer as well. If the microphone is high impedance going into a low impedance input you may get an in accurate match for frequency response. This would sound tinny or very low volume. You may have to get preamp or cheap mixer to put between the microphone and your recording device that has phantom power. This is a less than 100.00 fix that will give you the best flexibility as well as keep the noise level down that could come from having to turn your input source up to much. Also looking at other comment if Blue Yeti is USB this would not work.
