Many videographers periodically need a microphone that is close to the subject to get good sound. The camera mic(s) just won't do.
That's when this microphone system works perfectly. It's wireless and connects to a camcorders with a mini plug. This system has the flexibility of using a pin-on type microphone (great for a single subject) or a hand-held microphone (great for several people). Both are provided.
This is not an all metal, rugged set-up like those for several hundred dollars. But it will be perfect for the hobby video maker. It works well and sounds very good. It's the best system I found for the money.
Pros Presentation/Spoken Word, Film/Video Production, Vocals, home video producers
Cons not extremely rugged

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. This system is primarily designed for use with a video camera system that accepts "microphone level" input. Also included is a 1/4 adapter that will allow it to be used with PA systems or guitar amplifiers. Please note as I mentioned the output is microphone level, which is a very low level signal. It cannot be used with a device that is expecting a "Line level" signal. Line level is a considerably greater level, so the ATR288W will not drive a line level device. As for what type of sound system or speaker to use there are just too many to recommend one. Just make sure that it will take a microphone level input.

Thanks

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. If your Mac is a laptop this will not work. The inputs on Mac laptops are line level and the output of the wireless system is mic level and not strong enough to drive a line level input. I'm not sure about the inputs on Mac desktop computers.

Thank you for your inquiry. You cannot use 2 transmitters with one receiver. They will interfere with each other.

Camera input = 1x 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mini

To be used with a Canon VIXIA M400 camcorder. The camcorder specs state:

Camera input = 1x 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mini
Microphone input = yes

Does not look like a standard audio jack, but a USB style jack.

Will this wireless work with this camera?
