Can soemone please help me understand how the NX30U differs from the PJ790V? Is it only the XLR interface and shotgun mic?

The best thing to do would be to find the operation manuals for each camera online for free and compare them. After googling "difference between pj790 and nx30" the first link took me to a forum where one user posted the following: "The NX30 differences are the XLR unit and the mic, LPCM audio choice as well as Dolby, bigger battery, full set of cables, full timecode control not just a counter fixed shot/photo button rather than just the photo button. Lot more than $400 !!! It also has 720P60 and not sure if the PJ760 had 720P60." I have not fact checked this. But i own the NX30 and his info is accurate in that regard. I don't know for sure about the pj790v.

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!

I agree that no XLR out is odd but I just patched around that. Not sure about the 1086 comparison. Never used one. I bought it for narration purposes and its gating capabilities so limiting is something I add in post production. For the money, it's a bargain. If you want to spend some bucks though, Aphex Channel Master is much more versatile. Hope that helps.

I can tell you this. Looking now ONE OF EACH: mic input, AV out, HDMI out, and USB port. Does that help? I just charged the battery and am still learning. CONTACT MY SELLER: Adorama 800-223-2500. big outfit.

Hey Zach. You definitely need a preamp especially with the SM7B. It's such a quiet mic even compared to 58, 58A. I run mine through a line 6 Toneport UX2 and have to really crank up the preamp. For my money, I'd go with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. Actually, just looking at it, I might buy one for the SM7B as a preamp on top of my UX2.

Hey Josh,The image sensor in the two cameras is the same so low light performance will be the same as well. The major difference here is going to be the added xlr compatiblity and the handle/shotgun microphone atachment. As Michael stated, and these were differences that I didn't realize, There is an IR capability and different encoding format on the XA10. The IR capabilitys wouldn't apply to you because they wouldn't match the other shots, think of the green light video you see on tv. I don't know as though you would notice the different encoding format either, and likely whatever you use to edit/burn your video will encode the video upon output. So a bit more versatile but also a bit bulkier camera.Bryan Hey Josh,The image sensor in the two cameras is the same so low light performance will be the same as well.

I went to Radio Shack and bought a 1/8 plug to 1/4 plug adapter to put on the mic cord. Then I bought a model 274-017 XLR balanced adapter to plug it into a 3 prong mic port. Since the Audio-Technica system comes with a battery/preamp, you don't need a direct box. I plugged the mini adapter into the back of the balanced adapter and the whole thing into the mic port on my Fender amp system. Works like a charm and was suggested by my buddy who runs a recording studio. Just remember to turn the mic off when you're not using it so you don't run down the battery. You'll get very little sound out of it otherwise if the battery is dead. If your system has phantom power, it may work without the battery, haven't tried that yet. Probably spent about $20 total on the two adapters. Good luck! Kerry

The XLR microphone connector is for Analog [non computer] use, where you connect the mike to an amplifier and speakers. To connect an XLR-pin mike to a computer you need an XLR-to-USB connector or interface. Anything that is USB has to do with a computer. [USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.] This Shure mike came out before the computer era began, which was in the mid 80s - hence it is an XLR mike. Shure has come out with an excellent XLR-to-USB connector called - X2U. It is about $90-$99 on Amazon. You can buy the SM58 with the X2U for $199 on Amazon. XLR mikes need Phantom Power, which is provided by the X2U interface. It is not just an ordinary XLR-to-USB connection Cord. The SM58 (and SM57) is a DYNAMIC microphone, not a Condenser microphone. Just Google - Differences between Dynamic and Condenser microphones. Or - Which is Best - Dynamic or Condenser Microphones? The choice depends entirely upon your particular Mode Of Use. Most importantly, go through all the customer reviews on Amazon. On YouTube there are videos that demo this mike as well as other mikes. Check them out. Your Knowledge Base will increase considerably. Hope this helps.

When I sent in my px100 original for RMA at Sennheiser USA (Old Lyme, CT I think), one of the higher reps told me there's no difference except the -II looks better and is supposedly more durable. I sold the PX100-II's right after I recieved them and I miss them alot, as stupid as it sounds. Oh well, I'm using the Grado SR325's now!

I brought it for my grandsons with an Behringer 302USB Premium 5-Input Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamp and USB/Audio Interface for $49 they say it works but they can't download the software to do the mixing personally I read an answer to this question that makes more sense --return it and buy a snowball usb mike. I goggled it and it is cheaper and seems less complicated to use and set up-- http://bluemic.com/snowball/

Hi there. All are male. Channels 1 and 2 have a D.I. pre-EQ out. , PLUS a 1/4" send and return EFX loop. There is also a general Mix D.I. out for both channels. Additionally: Aux. inputs for 1/8" and 1/4" - I haven't had occasion to use these, but I imagine one could plug in an iPod here, and finally, a footswitch, which I elected to not purchase. All XLR's are male, all others are female. Are you running the Loudbox through a larger system? If so, a direct box (D.I.) is usually used due to the separate power sources. I hope this helps.

Twisterjester has said it all. If you need more than one XLR (Std mic input) channel, you need to look at other mixers.

The CX300ii have a frequency response of 19-21,000Hz and the JVC Xtreme Xplosives go down to an unbelievable 5Hz. JVC covers more "lows"(5Hz) and also covers more "highs"(25,000Hz) than the CX300ii. Apple's earbuds are just for hearing something come out of the other end and that's it. If you are looking for an earbud that sounds like you have a 12" subwoofer in each ear, then JVC is the way to go. I am talking about the deepest bass you have ever heard in your life. I am a bass freak and not everyone is the same, but these JVC earbuds are absolutely INSANE and literally BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I think its comparable but to be honest its not a good mic. I think it's either refurbished or a cheap fake. People complained about squealing when set anywhere above 4--5 using it below those settings makes it a useless purchase. I'm shopping for a replacement.

Mic works just fine and volume control. I think the years are only related to color combinations. The ones I had before were newer and I don't know of any difference

It's a standard pro audio EQ - You can either use it inline between the Mixer and Amp ( out from mixer into EQ then out fro EQ to Amp) or as an insert on any standard mixer. the N$ has Balanced XLR output so there should be no problem inserting into your signal chain.

The HDR AS30V does have an external mic input, however I have never used it so I can't rate it.
