ZEN NEEON with external microphone possib

Does anyone has Zen Neeon?
Neeon has 'direct line-in recording' as stated in the product page, does that mean it is possible to plug an external microphone (eg. Sony ECM-DS70P) to the line-in jack and bypass the built in microphone?
thanks.

I don't have a Neeon, and there aren't a lot of people here who have one so I'm not sure how quickly you'll get a response to this. On the previous MuVo N200 (which had its name illogically changed to the Zen Nano, if I recall correctly) the line-in wasn't well rated for quality, based on posts here. Being a Journalist you might want to try and get a product from Creative UK to test for yourselves.
On point 4 you are best to contact UK Customer Service (or as you are a Journalist, perhaps UK Sales) who will be able to tell you (or not) whether the player is coming. Often this kind of information is limited to a press release.

Record video directly into imovie with external microphone?

Here's what I am trying to, and I am just wondering if it is possible.
I like recording video covers/songs to put up on youtube. i don't have a video camera that takes good video AND sound, and the video quality provided by recording in imovie through the isight is perfectly fine. however, i would like better sound quality than i get with the internal microphone.
i own an mx audio pro system which allows me to connect external microphones to my computer through usb for higher quality recording (i've used it for garageband).
my question is whether i can simultaneously use the isight and external microphone when recording in imovie, and how i would do that??
thanks!

Click System Preferences/Sound/Input and select your USB mic.
I know this works for voiceovers, but it should work for iSight as well.

Recording in iMovie with external microphone?

Is there a way to capture video in iMovie using the iSight and an external microphone? If so, how do I set that up? If not, what program records the best quality videos but also has this external mic option?

Connect external mic. Then select it in the "Record From:" in the choices bar in Voiceover window.
If not, ... ?

In iMovie 09 can record video w/ iSight with external microphone?

In iMovie '09 is there a way to capture video using iSight camera while having the audio come from a different microphone other than the iSight microphone? If so, how?
I've attached an external microphone and selected it under settings and for the voiceover mic (within iMovie '09). But regardless of any setting changes I make the video captures audio still from my iSight microphone.
Thanks in advance for your help.

did you try changing any settings in the Sound control panel within the System Preferences?

How to record on iPhone 4 with external microphone?

I got a GoPro for christmas and my main intentions were to use it with my car. In this case, sound is very important and unfortunately, the GoPro does not record too good of audio.
My question is: What steps will I have to take to utilize an external mic with my iPhone and more importantly record it? I have looked on the app store for apps, but I am afraid that it wont record or recognize the sound coming from the external mic. I am wary of "voice recorders" because I know some try to implement technology such as noise cancellation that would skew my end product. I just want raw sound.
Additionaly, what adapters if any will be required?
Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone,
I just found this topic which seems to be related to my problem.
Firstly, I do not own an iPhone 4 like you but a 3Gs (doesn't really matter I guess).
I also bought an adapter from kvconnection : http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-iphone-mic-a22.htm
My wish is to make phone calls using a microphone connected to my computer. I have some kind of a home-studio, and I would like to build a dock on which I could plug my iPhone, with the upper jack connected to my soundcard, on which my mic or my computer sound comes.
In simpler terms, I'm trying to use an external audio source than my iphone microphone during calls. But this adapter i bought doesn't seem to work.
Have you guys a piece of advice or any solution ? Maybe just some compassion sharing the same problem =)
Good holidays to all of you!

Creative Zen 32g with MediaSource? possib

Is it possible to use MediaSource with the new Zen 32 gig?
If possible, can you direct me to the correct url to download it's
I have downloaded Zen Media Explorer and due to the large number of songs on my computer (8000+), Zen Media explorer is very very slow to sort, add/delete and/or create playlists.
I'm guessing MediaSource will be much quicker

Newer software? as in the Zen Media Explorer? that is absolute junk. I have 8k+ songs, everytime I want to sort them by genre or artist, ect. it takes minutes, let along trying to do everything else.... I know MediaSource is no gem, but anything is better than this stuff.... makes me want to take back this awesome little player.

SX20 with external microphone

Hi all,
Does anyone else ever encounter the scenario where a client wants to connect only one peripheral to a wall-mounted SX20, but also have a ceiling microphone? Should this solution really require an Integrator codec?
People connect all brands of PCs to SX20 codecs. Why should the SX20s not be able to accept different brands of microphones?
Cisco...can you help at all? Is there a workaround available?
Thank you.

People connect all brands of PCs to SX20 codecs. Why should the SX20s not be able to accept different brands of microphones?
Hi Ben, welcome to Cisco Support Community!
The microphone inputs of SX20 are not standard audio interfaces, that's why you cannot connect another standard microphone to them. Have you ever realized that Cisco Telepresence Microphones used with SX20 have mute button? This is one the reasons why the inputs are not standard.
With regards audio PC input, it is a standard audio interface, that's why you can connect any device to it. However, it is not recomended to connect a microphone to this input, because it is not designed for this purpose, so that you can have problem with echo.
SX20 is not designed to the kind of room you have. I would also suggest you an integrator package solution, such as C40/60.

Release date for Zen Neeon in

Hello,
I'm considering my first MP3 player. Had a mini disk up till now still in fine working order, but I'm getting sucked into the idea of cute wee players holding my entire record collection (or at least the ones I still want to listen to!) I really like the look of the Zen Neeon, with it's line in recording, and recording off radio. I don't imagine the voice recording bit will be up to recording my guitar playing as I do with my mini disk but I'm hoping I'll be able to at least transfer songs from mini disk and Home Studio onto it. haven't decided whether the 2 mb flash player or the 5gb hard dri've but in anycase it's not out in the shops yet. Anyone know what the release date is?
Feepster

I would guess at this point it's unlikely the Neeon will be sold directly in Europe. You might find it on eBay if you are desperate, but you are very unlikely to have any form of warranty. The Neeon isn't getting rave reviews though it seems.

Using external microphones with zen ne

How do I plug in an external microphone into my zen neeon? I plan to use bi-naural microphones. Can I use a preamp and an adapter? Is this even possible with my model?
Thanks
Nora

I'm sorry, but that's not really my area of expertise. If you are planning to use this for simple voice-recording you could try the Griffin iMic device which helps provide both pre-amplification and impedance matching between a mini-plug mic and a USB port for sound input. I've used it recording music from a boom-box to a MacBook.
The tech specs state that the audio line-level in port is:
Input impedance greater than 20,000 ohms
Input level: Max 2 V rms (+8.2 dbµ)
I would look for a mic that meets those specifications. MacSpeech.com has several microphone/headset recommendations for use with their Dictate and iListen voice recognition software. I would think that their suggestions would be useful.

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one. It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

HT3648 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation. I would like to test it with talk to text for my deaf mother. I have downloaded the dragon program but I need an external microphone. Can you help?

Hello,
I think my iPod touch is a 3rd generation. It is a 4.2.1 Version, 8 GB.
My 89 year old mother has totally lost her hearing. I would like to experiment with my ipod touch to see if an ipod is what she could use in her assisted living arrangement.
My ipod does not have an internal microphone as far as I can tell.
I see on the internet that I can purchase an external microphone.
I do not want a headset microphone just an external microphone where someone could speak into when the dragon app is on and it will transfer talk to text for her to read.
Can someone help me: a) do you think this will work.
b) what do I have to do to make it work.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
anetatsk

Just Google for: mic for ipod touch. You will find my hits.

EXTERNAL microphone not working on T61, Colleagues with T61s having same problem

I am unable to get any external micophone to work with my T61. A colleague of mine spent hours with Lenovo support trying to get his to work but was never able to. The internal microphone works but the quality is low. I have tried several external microphones (3). I verified the external microphones work with other systems.
As for drivers, here is what I have tried so far:
SoundMAX driver uninstall
Installed Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio
Installed SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio driver (5.10.1.5520)
None of this made any difference. When I plug in an external mic, all applications, including the SoundMAX Control Panel > Microphone > Setup Wizard, detect zero sound from the external microphone. I have muted/unmuted the external microphone, muted/unmuted the microphone in Windows, boosted/decreased the volume, used the Microsoft microphone troubleshooting wizard, etc., etc.
Please help! Using an external microphone is very important for my work (speech recognition) and for several of my colleagues. If we would have known external microphone do not work with T61s, my company would not have purchased these. Now we are all stuck until we get new laptops again (2 more years)!
P.S. One strange thing I noticed while plugging and unplugging is that if I plug in headphones to the external microphone jack, one of the headphones (R, I think) becomes an "external microphone." The quality is terrible but applications register sounds coming through the external headphones. Why then have none of the 3 different external microphones I've plugged into the mic jack worked?!?!
System:
SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (Driver 5.10.1.5520, Location 65535, C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ADIHdAud.sys is 5.10.01.5520)
Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2
Intel Core2 Duo CPU
T7300 @ 2.00GHz
2.99 GB of RAM

I am having this same problem and am also using voice recognition software. Have you found a resolution yet to this problem? I have not. Please share if you have.
Thanks!

Internal microphone keeps on changing to external microphone when headset with mic is plugged in

Hey I want to use the built-in microphone on my macbook pro but whenever I plug in a headset with a microphone it changes the internal microphone into external in System Preferences>Sound>Input.
There is no option available to change it back to the built in microphone in the settings above.
I don't mind if I have to use a software as a workaround.
I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch (mid-2012).

If you can get an adapter that "hides" the mic band on the plug, no switching will occur.
But that will probably imply a trip to the tech shop anyway.
It might be simpler just to use regular headphones or generic ear buds.
I don't know where you live but around here just about every drugstore, convenience store, & even most grocery stores sell inexpensive ear buds & headphones.

Using an external microphone with a Mac Pro Tower

I have a Mac Pro tower with OS 10.4.11 and I have a question regarding recording sound through an external microphone.
I own a microphone with a 1/4" jack and when I plug it into the designated input on the back of my tower, I'm not getting any sound. I've troubleshooted with a couple different microphones and none seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some sort of configuration that I have to do when using a mic?
Please help!
