Check your contact and wiring where you plug the cable in. If it got a knock maybe there is a cracked solder.

The PGX1 bodypack has a switch on the side to set the gain. Make certain that switch is in the "mic" position. Otherwise, simply turn up the volume on your mixer.

It's probably "hidden" -- look for one or two small slots around the edge of the LCD screen, or in the corners of the case -- somewhere near the keyboard.

much as i wud like to say yes, the answer is no. u have to connect an external microphone.

Make sure when you create a new track in your software, you are creating a Mono track, not a Stereo track.

Create a Mono channel and choose a single channel.

The speakers MUST be in front of and pointing away from the microphone.

I don't know what you mean by "crystalized" as that mic is a dynamic type.

If the speakers are in back of you you WILL get plenty of feedback. If you must run that way, then you need an anti feedback processor. The device shifts the pitch slightly so that feedback can't occur.

You Will See the mic if it came with one.

if not you can buy one
or if u mean can ur pc take a mic, look on the back of your computer, and see the soundcard slots pink = mic socket.

it is really hatd to say what is wrong with it. You didnt supply any info about what do you have,etc...the best for you will be if you go to the shop with your warranty and exchange
hope this help :)

turn up the volume first.
does it make a click noise out the speakers or show a reading on your mix etc when you switch it on.
if it doesnt then the switch could have gone,other than that i've only ever repaired 2 mics before & they both had doggie switches so i carn't really say more than that. sorry mate.

Make sure you've switched your sound input from the default (internal mic/input) to the MXL 990. This should be somewhere in the sound options.

If you're sure it's not getting power, you need to send it back.

Built-in Microphones are relatively new and my guess (without knowing your computer) is that it doenst have one. But you can glance over the area around the screen and check if there's any holes which would be indicative of a mic. Hope this helps!

Mic gain is too high.

Buy a mic-headset combo and plug it in. Chat away!
