Q: 1. Is this a stereo mike or mono. If mono why the dual sleeves?

A: It is a mono microphone. Dual channel mono since most cameras have a two channel input.

Q: 2. What is the cord length?

A: Boya does not specify the length of the cable on this microphone. Typically mics of this type have a cable that is about 3 meters (10' +/-). If you need to extend the cable you can use a regular XLR to XLR mic cable.

A: Yes it will work with the Tascam DR-40 just turn off the phantom power.

Q: 4. I'm curious if anyone knows (or can guess) how long the battery should last? I imagine weeks, especially if I use lithium and especially if I remember to remove it when not recording.

Q: 8. I am having trouble opening up the mic to replace the battery. What am I doing wrong?

A: The barrel of the Sony ECM-44B is threaded in the center and should unscrew with little resistance.

Q: 9. Does this mic work well with a camcorder using an XLR adapter?

A: The ECM 44B does work well when connected to a camcorder. If your camcorder does not offer an XLR input we recommend the Kopul LMT-100 adapter cable. Many consumer camcorders and DSLR cameras feature a 3.5mm input jack and this cable adapts the mic correctly.

Q: 10. To link this to a DSLR with a 3.5mm jack in a way that adds to the length of the cord, I could use a 20' Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable, plus a Kopul LMT100 - Low to High Impedance Matching Transformer, correct? The length will not degrade the sound, and I can go right into the camera?

A: Correct. A standard XLR mic cable in addition to the Kopul LMT-100 cable will allow you to connect the ECM-44B directly to a DSLR. At this length would not affect the audio quality.
