and it's the best yet

I've tried many microphone options for recording live lectures (when moving around the classroom) and this is the best so far. It's very light, easy to set up and has great sound quality. Just plug it into a USB port on my computer and it immediately shows up as an audio source. Two suggestions for great sound quality: 1) Be sure to place your USB receiver in a location that has a clear, unobstructed path for streaming to avoid interference from other electronic devices. 2) Change the batteries

Pros
  • Sturdy surface
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great long range wireless mic

It sounds great, has amazing range (I forgot to turn the sound off and my stream made me…

Pros
  • Quick changeover
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Disabled when receiver and transmitter are more than 2 feet apart, support ignores both requests

this. Fast forward a year and a few months. I use it to record yoga videos and it mostly (if not completely) turns off when the transmitter is 2 feet or more from the receiver. it's new) and the receiver didn't even light up when connected to my iPhone. I tested the adapter to make sure it wasn't the problem and connected other USB devices with no issues. So my guess is that the receiver is simply defective or poorly designed. I emailed support using the contact details listed here and didn't…
