Can this amp be used with microphones? If not, do you have anything very inexpensive that will magnify voice at a meeting.

This amp only has a line in, and RCA in. The voltages from a mic are far below line voltages. If your mic has a preamp it might work (usually a single AA battery could provide enough voltage for preamplifying the signal). So, no. But you could get a microphone preamp, and pair it with this amp. Connecting a mic straight to the amp, you will have to max out the volume, and barely get any signal out.

I tried to use it for a project. We tried a high end mic (sorry the manufactuer of the mic escapes me). It wasn't working and we chalked it up to defective mic. Later my colleague did some research and it turns out the camera wasn't putting out enough wattage for the mic.

Short answer is yes. The microphone has a very low level output. There are many preamps that will work just fine. Great choice for voice work.

This will work perfectly. As long as you are positive your mike and computer are working correctly. I use mine every time I use a microphone. Just turn up input gain until you get a little yellow on loud vocals and set output to desired level. It also will provide power to a condenser mike where a computer typically wont

Yes, this would definitely be one way to adapt a home theatre amplifier to allow any microphone through it using the multiple Mic inputs. It even had phantom power so it can literally handle any Mic you hook to it.

Microphones are mono and usually only work on one channel. What amplifier are you connecting it to?

call Shure tech support. They are very qualified. If you have only the mic iteself, which is not the item you've asked about, I think you'll learn that the mic needs 5 VDC bias current, which the preamp provides, if you have the preamp model, which this item is. The preamp terminates in a male XLR, which itself requires phantom power. You can purchase the mic itself, without the preamp, which is designed to be used with Shure body packs. You may also find that Shure makes lav mics which work with other manufacturers, avaiable on the usual mail order supply companies, which I can't name here. You probably know which ones to which I refer.

I have never tried it with a mic. I would be hesitent because one of the things that makes this DI/preamp sound good with piezo pickups is its high impedence input. Mics tend to have low impedence output.

Yes, it would work with any microphone. However, it is quite short and you must be seated.

Hm, probably not too well. This microphone is designed as a mic for a tuner. It works great to plug directly into a tuner. it's OKAY to use as a contact microphone for amplification if you don't have any other options. I purchased it as a backup for just in case my classical guitar pickup goes out during the middle of a gig and I need amplification. The sound you'll get out of it is not very good, because isn't designed for that. But with a lot of EQ work, you can still get a decent sound at a very cheap price. I recommend keep looking around for a better mic for your bass, but if you have a little extra cash lying around, then it's definitely worth picking this one up to have a mediocre spare and just to see how it works.

Given enough time and money you can do anything. :-) However I doubt this would be a good use for this product. It is a quite good small room amp for acoustic guitar and standard microphone.

Hey Shannon! You can use any mic you like with this unit. Peavey makes a mic / stand / clip / cable bundle that we offer for $49. It's a tremendous value! Give us a call and we can arrange a special price for you. 330-546-7076 Thanks!

I use this as a wireless mic for video recording interviews/podcasts/etc. I recently tried to tie it in with an amp/speaker system for the speaker at an awards banquet and had no luck. To be honest, I had very little time to attempt to figure out a way to make it work. It may be possible. It just didn't work for me in that capacity.

By phantom power, do you mean for a microphone? Answer would be no, this is aimed at just instrument amplification. You could look at the Fender Passport mini, which has dedicated channel for mic. I think it is about $20 more, very similar to the mini but has that channel and still have access to great Fender Fuse settings tweaking. I'd get one to haul back to Asia, but didn't have room. Next time for me. Here is link: http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Passport-Mini-Portable-System/dp/B00AWMR9SC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368410621&sr=8-1&keywords=fender+passport+mini

Only is the number of people attending the meeting don't get any higher than 10-15. That mic has a pretty decent pick-up range but the more people you add, the bigger the room will have to be and the bigger the room, the more mics you will need. If you have more than 15 people, then you might want to consider researching a more powerful mic with a broader range to ensure everyone's voice in the meeting is picked up fairly clear.

It depends on the gig; I've used it live for small clubs (less than 30 people, smallish room) and it works great. It gets surprisingly loud! For a bigger show you would probably be mic'd anyway, at least in my area so it would be fine for that as well. These days, if you show up with a larger amp you probably won't be able to turn it up enough to work the amp at all and it won't sound good anyway.

I have not tried to use the mini amp as a voice amplifier, but If the jack for the microphones use the same 1/4" as a standard guitar then yes it will work. I'm sure you can get some cool effects from the gain and tone controls as well.
