 Much better than I expected Jan 07, 2010

Purchased this because my teammates work in various countries and we communicate in small conference rooms using Cisco VOIP speaker phones. Anyone remote would often complain the mic on the speaker phone was not loud enough and they couldn't hear everything being said, especially with low-talkers and people that like to sit away from the table.
Now we conference call using Google Talk or Skype...I toss the mic on the conference room table and everyone can hear extremely well. The Mic also has a speaker port so when you plugin into the USB port, the pc will see both a new MIC and a new Speaker....
Planning on ordering another mic to keep at home for conference calls with friends and family.

MXL AC404 USB Microphone Apr 23, 2011
By Jim Norman
I use this mic to capture the voices from meetings in a conference room. I run Camtasia to capture the video portion of a slide or other computer/projected presentation and the audio portion from the mic and then encode it and store the movie on our corporate file server for future viewing. The conference table is 30' long. Since the mic has 180 degree coverage, I place the mic close to one end of the table pointing towards the other end. It is very sensitive and has good frequency response. I adjust the record level using the computer audio mixer controls or the audio level control in Camtasia. Due to the wide frequency response range of this mic, it will also pick up AC noise, but I use the filters build into Camtasia to get rid of that frequency range. You could also use any other goood audio editing program such as Audacity (no cost)to do this. Highly recommended.

 Will not work through a USB hub Feb 02, 2010
By H. Smith
I bought this for my office in order to conduct video-conferencing using skype between our two offices. However, we have a 20 foot conference table with a credenza at one end where the computer and TV are located. Being that this is a USB powered device, we had to use a USB hub in order to keep it powered over the length we needed to run it. YOU CAN NOT USE THIS MIC WITH A USB HUB! It does mention it in the user's manual, but it would be nice to know prior to purchasing.

Works as advertised Feb 09, 2011
By Stumpjumper
Plugged it into my MacBook Pro and it just worked. Am using it for a daily meeting in a crowded room with about 15 people to broadcast the meeting via video chat. Works surprisingly well under difficult circumstances. Works better than the Polycom system with two extension mics we have in the same room.

Excellent choice for conference calls using Skype Mar 31, 2011
By An Engineer

We recently replaced our old mic with this one in a 6 - 10 person conference room. We primarily use it for calls using skype. I must say that it's a HUGE improvement. Long gone are the days of having to repeat ourselves or move closer to the mic. I'm pretty sure that it would work in a larger room as well, but can't test it.
I really like that it has a speaker output on the back. It simplifies our setup. Also, the USB cable is detachable from the mini-USB port on the back of the device. While it's not important to us, it might be for those that want a shorter\longer cord or those that wish to pack it up.
The only improvement that I could think of would be to have a mute button on the mic.
