Musicians and producers looking for a true stereo digital reverb pedal will be impressed with the Dreadbox DARKNESS, a highly flexible reverb that can create small and smooth reflections to huge shimmering and endless reverbs. Designed in collaboration with Sinevibes, DARKNESS combines two versatile and flexible algorithms into a single open architecture formula that sounds stellar on any audio signal including guitars, keyboards, vocals, drums, and more.

Technically, DARKNESS is a granular pitch shifter followed by the famous large reverb found on the Typhon synthesizer and finally ending with a gate generator. There is also a micro-looper that can hold up to 150ms of audio signal to create a freeze effect.

Q: 1. How does this mic get power from the camera? Must it be attached to the camera's hot shoe to work? Or, does the power come to it thru its cable connector? Will it work if attached to B&H# VECB4800?

A: It gets its power from the Mic jack. It can be used off camera like the Shoe V-Bracket ,Vello CB-4800 Triple Shoe V-Bracket (6.5 Wide)B&H # VECB4800 Mfr # CB-4800http://bhpho.to/1jnwCuW

Q: 2. Hi. It this comp with nikon 7500?

A: Yes that's the camera I use this microphone with.

Q: 3. Can the ME-1 be used on a Nikon D810 when the built in camera flash is being used in the commander mode for off camera flash control?

A: DONT KNOW I USE ONLY D7100 NIKON CAMERA

Q: 4. Can it also be used as an input

A: Yes, you could use the two female 1/4" plugs of the Kopul Stereo 1/4" Y Cable (B&H# KOHPSSP) to combine two stereo (or mono) sources of an audio signal and to send it to the 1/4" male plug. Such a connection should not be made above line level, however.

Q: 5. Is it compatible with D850? I did not see this model on the list.

A: Yes

Q: 6. I was wondering if this microphone is compatible with the Nikon D500 camera? And how's the performance of this microphone? I did read the reviews on this microphone but I thought that I would like to get some new reviews on this microphone. Thank You!

A: I have the Nikon D5300 and it is compatible. I mainly use it for taping Vlogs and it works very well. Much better audio quality than camera alone. It will pick-up some extraneous noise, but it is limited. I found it worth the investment.

Q: 7. The mount is positioned sideways when attached to the camera hot shoe. How can the mic be rotated so that it faces forward?

A: Hold the microphone head and body firmly while gently twisting the shoe portion into position.

Q: 8. Is there an audio jack within in the mic so I can listen to the sound while recording?

A: There is no jack on the unit. Just a 2-position rotary switch on the back and a cord with a 1/8 stereo plug coming out of it.

Q: 9. Is this mic compatible with Nikon 1 S1?

A: I would say 99.99% yes. Does the Nikon 1 S1 has a stereo pin jack, that is so ubiquitous among the electronic today? I would call Nikon on their 800 number just to double check, the call is on Nikon's dime so it won't cost you anything. The mic will probably work on any other equipment beside Nikon camera equipment if they have this jack.

Q: 10. is this mic compatible with any dslr? I use canon(60d) and i want a mic in dimensions like ME-1.

A: The Nikon ME-1 Stereo Microphone is compatible with any DSLR that has a 3.5mm stereo mini jack. As the Canon 60D has a 3.5mm Stereo mini jack, the Nikon ME-1 would be compatible with the Canon 60D.
