Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do I need phantom power or a audio mixer for this mic?

A: This is a dynamic microphone and by design requires no phantom or external power.

Q: 2. Does this work for any DSLR? I have the Nikon D3100.

A: The Audio-Technica ATR1300 is a dynamic mic which requires no external powering. This makes it widely compatible with devices that feature mic input capabilities. This is true for DSLRs as well as portable audio recorders and similar devices. Unfortunately the Nikon D3100 specifically, does not offer an external mic input jack and would not be able to this or external mics in general.

Q: 4. Anyone using just 1 Sonos Era 100 for rear surround?

A: The Sonos Era 100 (Black), B&H # SOERA100B, is a popular option to use as a rear speaker for a Sonos smart speaker surround sound system. Ideally, you would have 2 rear speakers, as professional TV/film mixes often have certain audio elements panned to the left or right. A single speaker can be used for rear surround sound, but you may be missing out on part of the key auditory experience of 5.1-channel surround sound.

A: The Sonos Era 300 (White), BH # SOERA300W, cannot connect wirelessly to an XBox series X without some degree of audio latency.
