Non-USB External Mic for iPad

Hey Everyone,
     I have an applause meter app that I will be projecting on to a screen for an event from my iPad. From my understanding, I cannot a attach a USB external mic because the port will be used for the video projection. Is there an external mic that can run from the audio-in 3.5mm port and produce a good quality recording? Thanks.

N_Peters-
I mentioned the headset because it has a microphone, and plugs into the iPad.  If you can get the correct 3.5mm plug, you should be able to wire an adapter between XLR and 3.5mm.  I understand the iPad's  3.5mm connector has additional circuits compared to the run-of-the-mill stereo earphone connector.
You might be able to jury-rig a bluetooth headset to replace its microphone with an XLR adapter, but that is not a neat way to go!
Another approach is to use the Griffin iMic with Apple's Camera Connection Kit USB adapter.  You may be able to connect your XLR microphone through the HDMI AV adapter's extra iPad connection.  I have not tried that, but others have reported the iMic will work. <Griffin iMic>

  • External Mic for iPad 3

    I recently purchased an audio technica ATR 6550 and Startech.com MUYHSMFF 3.5mm 4-pin to 2x 3-pin 3.5mm headset splutter adapter M/F for my iPad 3. 
    I've tested the mic and adapter on my Macbook and they worked fine.  When I plug them into my iPad however, it doesn't seem to read them.  I've tried a couple of different apps including garageband but the mic just doesn't register.  Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on how I might get this to work?
    Thanks 

    I think you just answered the USB option question I've been researching.  We found the iRig mic is sketchy.  sounds good for spoken voice when they work.  We've been using them for a mass messaging campaign and they keep breaking (if they worked out of the box to start with).  We've yet to find anything better.  We need a mic with that street interview look that we can put a mic flag on.

  • External disk for iPad available?

    Is there an external disk for iPad now? Not like in two years.

    No. But you can purchase the Camera Connection Kit that can be used to connect to a USB drive. However, to the iPad the drive is read-only, and not all USB drives will be recognized.

  • External battery for iPad 2?

    I want to use my iPad 2 (purchased in Australia) on a 24 hour international flight.  Is there some kind of external battery I can buy so I can use the iPad 2 for longer than the standard 10 hours?

    Google or Bing is your best friend.  However, I'll do it for you this time...

    Also, more and more airlines are putting power ports in coach seat locations.  I think they all have them in F/C or business class.  You can buy a power port adaptor from Apple or other locations that will power your iPad from either an airline seat or a car with a power port.

  • External mic for Acoustic

    So for now i have just been using the built in mic from my MBP. I can make it sound decent, but i really want good quality without spending a ton of money. So i was looking into buying an external mic like a USB mic. I have my eye on three of these, any thoughts?

    I have both the Samson and the Micflex. And while the latter gives you really good sound for the money (a lot better than the Logitech), the Samson is really the cheapest USB mic that can compete with good condenser mics. Strongly recommend to shell out the couple of extra dollars!

  • External mic for out-door shooting

    When I'm shooting video out of doors, the mic picks up wind noise. How about an external mic?

    The only thing I can think of for you to experiment with would be a PC mic, you know those wand looking ones meant for VOIP meetings or calls. (Pre headset mics)
    Theoretically you can get 1/8th inch plugs for commercial microphones, but I doubt the iPad has the drivers and such to handle them. It should handle headsets however and maybe either a PC mic or a discreet headset (they have ones that fit behind the ears with the mic boom coming down by your cheek) would work.

  • External Mic for iMac G4/800

    Is it possible to attach an external mic/headset combo on an iMac G4/800 (M8535ll/A). If so where is the mic input? Thanks, Ken.

    I'm looking at the tech specs page for that iMac model
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP93
    and do not see an audio input mini-jack. If that model does not have one, you can add one using a USB device, such as the iMic from Griffin
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/
    However, you may want to contact Griffin to see if it will work with 10.3.x (as stated in your profile) and with USB 1.1 (the older slower type on that iMac model). The product description says 10.4 or later, but that may be for the included recording application, and not for the device itself. This product has been around since Mac OS X 10.3.

  • External webcam for ipad?

    Is there a way to attach an external camera on an ipad? I've read many posts that were fairly old... And best thing was a Disney camera that only took stills. Most other forums said No, there is no such thing... Is there really no camera on the market that can be attached somehow to Ipad?

    It is possible by Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
    The info on Using iPad Camera Connector with unsupported USB devices may also be of interest.

    Both Skype and FaceTime apps are available for iPad2s.
    FaceTime is installed with the iOS.
    iPad2 friends using a compatible iOS can Download Skype for iPad from iTunes App Store.

  • Mic for iPad 4?

    What is the best solution for connecting an external mic to an apple ipad 4, please?

    "Best" depends on the use to which you need to put this. What are you going to need to record? Is this just voice notes with relatively low-quality mics, or are you using this in a more professional setting and if so what will you be recording? If you can give us information about your needs, I'm sure someone can offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • When is Apple will make a Micro USB Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones ???

    IIt's really a big help if Apple make their own Micro USB a Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones.

    Apple would not tell people there are other brands on the market. It is my opinion that if Apple users keep asking for the USB for ipads, they might consider it. As for the iphone there MIGHT be a tiny slot inside where the battery is for an SD card, which expands the space. I know Android has that feature in their cell phones, but not sure about Apple.
