The mic's dynamic range, sensitivity, and pop filters are also optimized for the sound and power of the bass drum.

Q: 1. When connected to a laptop Windows PC will it disable /take over the internal PC microphone input? In other words can it be used *only* for output DA conversion?

A: When connected to your computer for recording, you will need to go to computer's System Preferences for audio and select the SSL 2 as your input device during your setup and that will disable the computer's internal microphone. You should also select the SSL 2 as your audio output device in order to disable the built-in speakers and prevent issues with feedback from your mic picking up the sound of the internal speakers. You will be able to monitor the audio through headphones or speakers that are connected to the SSL 2. Here is a link to the user manual which will provide more details on setup and operation of the SSL 2: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/594696.pdf

Q: 4. Just opened my new XM-55, but can't get it to work- is there a power indicator light anywhere on the mic? Connecting to multiple cameras gets no audio, no indication of power at all- thoughts?

A: It has a red LED just in front of the power switch. It's dim, but it works on mine. By the way... hate to state the obvious but it doesn't get power from the camera. You have to feed it batteries.

Q: 5. Will this work with a Fuijifilm S8600?

A: The Fujifilm FinePix S8600 Digital Camera is not capable of connecting to an external mic due to the cameras lack of an external mic input. In order to capture higher quality sound than the camera is capable of on its own, you will need to use an external audio recorder, and marry sound to video via editing software.

Q: 6. When is it expected to be in stock or ready to ship?

A: At this time, we do not have a specific eta for this unit.

Q: 7. Can this mic accept phantom power via XLR?

A: Yes, it accepts a AA battery for boards that do Not have phantom power and a switch to turn the mic on, it even comes with a battery and a hole cut in the foam to store the battery. I use it in the field only with my Zoom H6 that has Phantom power and I choose to have it on while recording most of the time. I usually put the battery in and turn it on so I don't drain power from my portable unit even though the drain is minimal on my H6.

Q: 8. Hi I just got this and it is working ok but I'm getting a small sequel in my headphones when connecting to a rodecaster. Not sure if it is the rodecaster setup? I tried different headphones.

A: Make sure that phantom power on the RodeCaster Pro is turned off since the Vidpro XM-55 is powered by a battery. Also make sure that the mic is not picking up audio from a speaker. If neither of these issues are the source of the noise, please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website and we can help you to troubleshoot.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Canon PowerShot SX60?

A: The VidPro XM-55 ships with multiple output cables including a 1/8 cable that will connect to the mic input on the Canon PowerShot SX60.

Q: 10. what does the 3rd position of the on/off switch do?

A: The XM 55 switch, in addition to power offers a low cut filter setting. This setting will reduce the low frequency information received by the mic and is effective in reducing some low frequency room noise such as AC rumble, light wind and popping P sounds from speech.
