Gem Amplifier and cordless mics

if there is a microphone jack or similar item with your wireless mics you should be able to plug it in the mic jack on your stereo and it should recognize it

Either mic "mute" is on or mic capsule is dead...dropping these low-end wireless mic's are usually fatal. Upgrade and you won't regret it.

You need to connect your mic to an amplifier first and then to camera. Orherwise mic has not enouth power output. Zoom h4n might work but its expansive. Or u can buy wm-v1, wireless mic, it'll work just fine. Or buy mic with power already built in, like Rode VideoMic.

You are looking at the WRONG end of the guitar cable. You have a VERY unsafe guitar amplifier OR the mixer that is connected to that mic has an UNSAFE grounding condition.

If your guitar amp is an old one that has a two wire cord and a switch you change to reduce hum, take it in to have a three wire power cord installed IMMEDIATELY. Only plug into grounded receptacles. This is needed to reduce electrical noise and hum but MORE importantly is personel safety.

If the problem is with the mixer and the electrical service to the mixer, better get a professional in to analyze the problem before somebody is injured.

AS A START do this: VERIFY that ALL interconnected equipment INCLUDING your guitar amp iis powered from the same source or receptacle. This includes the venue power amps, mixer, any CD players, etc. Professionals run power back from the stage source to the mixer alongside their snake to avoid just the problem you are seeing. When they need more power at a venue, a power distribution box is used that conditions the building power and insures grounding.

is the mic equiped with a IMPEDANCE selector switch?? is the USB port version 1.x, 2.x or 3.x?? what are the SPEC'S of the computer and the mic???

Mike - it would probably help if you provide the name and model of the PA amplifier too... but even so:

It is doubtful that you'll be able to simply buy an "extension cord" to place between the end of the existing mic cord and the PA's mic jack. You could probably have a new, longer cord to replace the current short cord on your mic fairly easily. Since this would require soldering and use of special sheilded cables, you should probably have it done professionally. Just about any commercial or business radio shop should be able to swap the cord for one as long as you need.

I hope this helps.

LA 900? I am guess that is a linear amplifier. If so are you running a power mic? You are probably getting RF feedback. You need to turn the gains on the radio and mic down.

Some things you can try. Hold the mic cord in your other hand in the center of the cord while you key it. some times this will shield it form stray RF.

You can also get a bunch of RF chokes from radio shack. They are little black things you snap onto wires that shield form RF. Put 2 near the plug, and 2 near the mic. That will help shield it from RF.

you will most likely still have to play with the gains on the radio and mic to find a sweet spot where it doesn't squeel.

Try a wireless mic system. If the problem persists I would return the unit to Numark. Me personally... I use the idj2 like a CDJ and have it lined into my DJ mixer. There is never an issue with microphones on my Peavey DJ mixer.

Good day, Hi, to test your laptop mic, open the sound recorder. 1. if you ar using XP, goto START, All Programs, Accessories, Entertaiment, Sound Recorder. If the sound recorder loads normally, press the red button, shout as load as you can, you will see sound waves on the recorder. 2. If the sound recorder does not loads, chances are your mic isn't working properly, Load the device Driver for your mic, you can find the driver on the CD that came with your laptop, if not you may need to go to the Internet to find the MIC driver. 3. If the driver is loaded on your laptop, chances are it may be defective, you have 2 options, 1. replace the mic on your laptop, which requires you to dismantel it, get the defective mic and replace it. 2. just get an external mic. hope this may help.

if you use original mic(boom mic), rec ch select (ch1.ch2 and ch1) if you choose ch1 it means only 1 channel you want to rec, ch1.ch2 means you select 1 in for ch1 and ch2.input level depend the volume of your input for original mic use mic if the sound around not loud, use mic att if the sound around to loud. +48v for mic original use on, if you use off mic don't work,for input 2 same with input 1.if the original mic don't work try to push the reset button. if don't work, i found that some cam, have bad contac inside the switches
