Much better than I expected
By no comment
Purchased this because my teammates work in respective countries and we commune in little group discussion rooms using Cisco VOIP speaker phones. Anyone remote would oftentimes complain the mic on the speaker phone was not piercing sufficient and they couldn’t listen everything being said, in particular with low-talkers and people that like to sit away from the table.
Now we group discussion call using Google Talk or Skype…I toss the mic on the group discussion room table and every one may listen exceedingly 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 group discussion calls with friends and family.

MXL AC404 USB Microphone
By Jim Norman
I use this mic to capture the voices from meetings in a group discussion room. I run Camtasia to capture the video portion of a slide or other computer/projected formally presenting something and the audio part from the mic and then encode it and store the movie on our corporate file server for future viewing. The group discussion 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 sensible 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
By H. Smith
I purchased this for my office in order to conduct video-conferencing using skype amid our two offices. However, we have a 20 foot group discussion 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 necessitated 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.
