A:Answer No. On a computer you can control the volume with the included software. Also, if you're recording directly through a 3rd party audio program, the program itself may have a volume control. For example, if you were using the audio capture component of Roxio EMC you could adjust the mic volume through the programs UI. Just FYI, Blue recently discontinued several of their mics to narrow their product line. One of those, the "Raspberry", has a volume control knob on the mic. That model is still readily available through a variety of sellers. It's portable and approximately the same price range as the Nano. That said, the style very different cosmetically, and has a single capsule pattern with an internal acoustic difuser to reduce sibilance and background noise. I hope this is helpful.
