would anybody suggest brand wireless mike to be used with computer for recording
jraju:
My receiver is defective and it is burnt.
Even though the usb is the receiver, how then it connects to the wireless mike. Normally usb is just storage devices. Is this usb different, that it will auto connect with the computer while recording.
I could use the wireless mike of chinese model, which i got at 450 rs, of which receiver was burnt, since connected directly to the mike jockey as has been reported in my recent posts in this thread.
My query is , by just buying this Behringer wireless USB microphone for about Rs7000 , would i be able to record without any middle device like ufo 202. I would love to buy this, if it is possible, because, i just have to insert the usb in any usb port and then start singing through wireless mike. Pl confirm.
As i have limited knowledge of the same, i am asking.

The USB device is a receiver/ transmitter (Dongle), like for a wireless mouse or keyboard and it is powered by the USB port, the microphone will need batteries, like a mouse or keyboard.
USB is a connection, granted usually used for memory sticks, but it is a powered communication port. I have USB wireless mice, wireless keyboards and wireless network adapters, the USB receiver is doing the same job with a microphone, the USB receivers are specific to each device, so the microphone comes with its own dedicated USB receiver.
The Behringer microphone would not need the ufo202 preamp.
I am not surprised that a Rs450 microphone was rubbish!
You may be able to find a similar product to the Behringer cheaper. But avoid cheap rubbish.
Bear in mind that you will have to set up Audacity correctly in order to recognize and use it.
Before you buy, why not detail your plan over on the Audacity forum, run it by them, you never know someone may have already done exactly what you are attempting and may have some good advice. List your plan and proposed hardware, see what feedback you get. They are a friendly and helpful bunch http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewforum.php?f=46 Maybe try and contact Behringer too, and see what they say?

Hi, Thank you so much for your inputs on this.
I will try behringer microphone as first choice. Secondly i was enquiring all the shops and they say they do not have the devices i specified . Then i found this chinese model, with wired/wireless.
Would this be true. By, inserting the converter with the receiver with battery on it , would have burnt the receiver?
since no other device was prescribed to me other than this. My assumption, is
Mike jockey is already powered with computer always, and by inserting the battery fitted with receiver in on position, short circuited it to damage the receiver? Or is it the defective receiver itself? I will enclose the picture without the converter, a kind of connection with the receiver to my jockey.
I was given a blunt edge connection with the mike, I think, the transmitter.
Some says that it is the mistake to insert powered receiver to the jockey. Some other says, that all the wireless devices , such as key boards are having power in the device, works fine when inserted to the computer. Then why it burnt the receiver totally. Is it defective receiver altogether?
Is there any change need to be made in audacity if wireless mike is to be used for recording purpose? It is recording with wired mike. Should i make any changes in the jockey?
I tried to become a forum member in audacity, but somehow, could not log in and whenever i tried, it asked me to approach the admin of the site.
Even resetting of password could not enable me to log in to their site. Their support never support really. I am enclosing the pictures
of the receiver, the converter,computer jockeys at rear,and the transmitter.
I just connected the converter to the receiver and my receiver burnt.
In the last picture , the mike jokey is in red, the centre for speaker and blue , i do not use for anything. Is it for head set?

J, I can only speculate, but my hunch is that a Rs450 wireless microphone and receiver made in China was never going work, at best it is a toy and at worst a dangerous fire risk!
OK, so Behringer manufacture in China (who does n't?) but they are a German company with a reputation to lose, and although not top end they are known in the industry.
You would need to change your chosen input in Windows to the Behringer wireless microphone, it would show up as a USB audio device or maybe even as Behringer microphone. You would then have to select microphone input in Audacity to record from it. You would have to tweak the the input and record levels to your satisfaction. The Behringer microphone has an output control on the microphone itself.
In the first screenshot I have highlighted the dropdown menu box, this is where you would select the USB device/ Behringer microphone.
In the second screenshot I have highlighted the dropdown menu box, this is where you would select the USB device/ Behringer microphone.
It is strange that you cannot get on the Audacity forum.
Behringer have a recording forum, you could ask any questions that you have there perhaps?

Hi, I again thank you so much for giving valuable tips, which no one could ever get. I will try to buy the behringer microphone by going to the electronic hub and see how it goes.
I do not know whether it is available in my place, chennai. There is a electronic hub where these things are abundant. I will visit and then inform you.
Your tips on audacity with windows sound system also needs mention. Valuable tips. I will definitely give it a try.
