next week means this week right? We'll see how long coming soon stands with them.

Autockr989 · 07-02-2008, 09:59 AM

i guess this means I have to get a mic now?

danielkh · 07-02-2008, 10:03 AM

That would help make it work. lol

Autockr989 · 07-02-2008, 10:08 AM

This is all great news, but it still doesn't give any insight on what SD staff is upto. I just hope that Onevoice isn't being decieved as we have been.

danielkh · 07-02-2008, 10:11 AM

No, it doesn't. I just thought we all needed some good news for a change.

Autockr989 · 07-02-2008, 10:16 AM

Thanks, Even better news is the mic I'll be buying will be from anyone other than this store.

Don't get that andrea usb. Seriously misrepresented by the store here. Unfortunately, I bought it before the store carried it so I can't make them take it back. Although it was Chuck that originally said it would work.

The mic itself is nice though, and not very expensive.

I really like the mic by itself. The kino mobo has built in noise/echo, so it works pretty good. I bet if the SD bluetooth DID exist, it would work well with it.

Well, now, this is interesting. Pretty cheap too. Anyone want to be the ginea pig?

Maybe, but it's only $10 more than the mic by itself.

Hi Daniel what's wrong with the andrea usb?
The stereo mic is good, but the usb sound adapter is crap? why?

I want a good not too expensive usb mic... any suggestions??

thanks,
Roland

In order to use the sound (echo) canceling capabilities of the andrea usb, it must be used as a sound card, meaning ALL your speakers/sound has to come from it. Not practicle at all. Maybe great in a voip atmosphere, but not a car. The mic by itself is a good stereo mic. I use it plugged into a standard mic in port and it works really well. I don't know anything about that new mini usb thing they are advertising, but if I didn't already have the mic, I would spend the $10 to test it.

The andrea usb advertised in the store works fine as a usb mic, but not worth $100. It just doesn't function as advertised. No REAL echo cancelation. The $44 unit would probably be perfect even if it doesn't have true echo cancelation if you need usb.

Edit: I stand corrected. They don't sell the USB version in the store. Tax/title/license through andrea works out to about $100.
