What mic would work better for a room filled with people? I want to mic for skype or hangout for a workshop of 10-30 people.

Hi Leslie, I bought this mic more than a month ago for my own personal use and I have never tried using it on a conference call with many people. But so far, I am happy with the performance of this mic on Skype. The my voice is very clear on this mic.

The MXL AC404 works very well for us. It is utilised in a conference room that sits 12 people. The person seated furthest from the mic (at one end of the room) can be heard very well by the other party in the video conference. The mic picks up sounds from outside the room too but I cannot comment if it will be effective in a room for 30 pax. You will probably need a couple of mics for that.

The MXL AC404 USB mike is great for conference of 20-40 people in a medium sized room. I've had one for six months and it works great. I got it as a replacement for another conference mike, but this one is much superior. Easy setup and picks up loud and clear. I mostly use it for Skype group meetings. Definitely worth having.

We use the MXL AC404 for exactly this purpose, with about 30 people. The main factors to consider are the positioning and reverberation. This mic does an excellent job with either Skype, Hangouts, Flash Media Encoder, whatever.

Hi Leslie, I bought the MXL AC 404 mic for virtual training purposes and very happy with its performance. The mic volume level out of the box is set to +7 which adequately picks up hi fidelity voice from 10-15 ft. away. Increasing the volume level even slightly will significantly improve its distance as well. I would highly recommend this mic for the purpose you've stated. I've purchased multiple mics in the past and this mic by far exceeds all of them in performance.

This is a okay mike for live performances. It is a cheap version of the SM 58 which cost about $100.00. It is probably not the best mike for recording or other applications that require high quality. I suppose it depends on what you are podcasting. If you are streaming a live band you could use these for the vocals. It really depends on what you are using it for. I use mine for vocals at practice for live performances. I hope this helps.

I do not have a specific experience with skype and a conference room use of the Sony Blue Tooth mic. I used the mic on my camcorder videoing a church service. The Sony Blue Tooth mic was excellent. The recorder sound was with 100% clarity.

With a good mic easy. I have a cheap mic and it sounds like crap. I bought a set of Shure PGXD24/Beta58A Digital Wireless System with Beta 58A Mic and it sounds GREAT!

I use them primarily for drama presentations and testimonials. I rarely get feedback because each mic has its own frequency. It has been used a couple of times for singing and it was okay. However, I do experience channels going dead intermittently. I've sent back once and the overall response comment was operator error. I will be upgrading as soon as the budget allows.

Yes, I've used it with GoToMeeting as well and it works. Obviously the quality is better if it's a smaller room. Make sure the speakers are not too close by because the mic will pick up the sound coming out of speakers and you'll get feedback.

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.

Yes, it should work fine for that for one or two people. If you're trying to record a group, this mic won't be sensitive enough.

The pc320 is perfect for that. The mic swivels to a little over 90° so you'll have ample room if you put the cans around your neck.

I've used it at board meeting at times but the mike I've used and is incredibly good is the Olympus ME-51S Stereo Microphone. Yes it cost more but at a board meeting with someone sitting almost 30 feet away I still get a good recording, I just turn the volume up a bit.

This is a good mic. I purchased it for my church. We have a mackie system that it is hooked into. It gives a great clear sound. We have also used it for conferences at hotels. It was a great buy and I would highly recommend it.

Hi Scooby, the answer is yes. If you are going to be having a small to mid size conference and need better microphone pickup distance and sound, check out the Konftel 300ip or the Polycom Soundstation IP 6000.

yup. use it to skype with friends while gaming all the time. however it does pick up noise from farther away too, so if you're looking for something super high quality, i'd recommend something else

I can not be sure, it would think it depends on you set up. Let me share my experience, maybe that will help you. I used a set of speakers in the front of the classroom. The mic was placed on desk approximately 7 to 8 feet from the speakers. The mic worked extremely well and did not pick up anything from the speakers. Hope that helps.

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

No, you can only have one active at a time on the computer as the mic/speaker source. That said, if it's a small to medium size table and this is in the center, this should work for that size group.

The mic works fine as long as you stay within about 10 feet of unit and off to one side to eliminate squeal interference. I bought a wired mic also and use it for presentations in a set place, such as behind a podium or at a table.
