Audio-Technica ATR25 Stereo Condenser Microphone

Summary: Barely hear anything
Review: I dont know if its working well together with a video cam, but I was using it on two different computers with 2 different connection (one with built in analogue interface, the other with external m-audio USB interface) and all I see is that the ATR 25 is not producing acceptable volume. The resulted recording is so quiet I can barely hear anything when playing back, and this I was speaking into the Mic touching my mouth and knocking on it and all Mic levels in system and recording application set on max and tried with a new battery. It seems this Mic needs a preamp to work fine. But I have none here to try it.

Summary: Great Sounding Mic, Well Built
Review: The review that says that this mic has a very low quiet sound is WRONG. That person was plugging this MIC level microphone output into a LINE level input. That means the sound is so quiet you can barely hear it. But what you do is you can use a USB audio adapter with a mic/line switch, or most camcorders have mic level input, so it will work beautifully with camcorders! Great value, very professional looking, great microphone!
