QuestionWhat is recording distance where there is still clarity of voice(s) or sounds recorded
Asked 7 years ago by Shari.
- Answer This can vary greatly due to the variables in the room or surrounding where the person is being recorded. For example, how much ambient noise, how good are the acoustics of the room, and how soft or loud is the voice of the person speaking. Due to these variables, a specific number for distance in feet can't be provided.

QuestionI bought this from BB and I have a mic I use for a my recording. When I plug this into the mic jack all I get out of it when I go back to hear it is nothing but static. The mic works because I switch to my phone, so I know it's not that. Answer for that?
Asked 6 years ago by HOOKEDone.
- Answer Why are you using an external mic? The built-=in mic works great for my purposes. If you feel you need higher quality recordings, switch to talk or music modes.
