Q: okay. im like gonna buy a microphone and i was wondering like most microphones are wireless so how would you get it to work? cause i got a wireless microphone a while back (cheap one) and like you had to plug it into a microphone jack in a cd player...and that didn't work.

so like tell me..how does the whole microphone deal work? (like how do you get it to be so loud....how do you plug it in if its wireless)

you can check it like that:
on the Volume icon on the right next the clock right click and choose open volume control , you will get new window find microphone in it.
if it's not there so your microphone option is not loaded .

I was told it used to be a diaphragm that vibrated, on the old microphones. What vibrates on modern mics to pick up the sound?


A: There are different types of mics. The ones mostly used today are known as "electrolytic, or condensor" mics. They don't have so much a diaphram as "dynamic" mics do. Condensor mics pick up sound when the sound pressure viabrates one, or both of it's plates. A condensor mike is actually a capacitor where the electric charge between the two plates change as sound pressure varies the space difference between them. This gets translated as an audio signal for the...

We already have one mic being amplified through a Marshall AS50D--an amp that is for an acoustic guitar and a mic. But we were planning to have 2 lead vocals, and 1 back-up vocal. Where can we plug 2 more microphones? Keep in mind we are on a low budget because we are just teenagers.

Do we need a PA system? If yes, please recommend one. Thanks!


A: You will need a PA system for what you are doing. It will sound better and be easier to use. Since you are on a budget try something small. The PA in this link is easy to use and has everything you need except extra mics and chords for $200.00.
