Q: 1. How far from the sound source will this shotgun mike work? I want to record a lecture in a classroom and want to know if this mike will work from the back of a classroom.

A: I find this works best when close to the sound source. In a similar situation to what you are describing I have run an extension sounds cable ( 3.5 mm female to male) to connect to the camcorder and place the mic on a stand close to the speaker, right out of frame.

Q: 2. Is the Azden smx-10 compatible with the Canon Rebel T3i?

A: The SMX-10 is compatible with the T3i. It will mount to the shoe, and connect to the cameras 3.5mm mic input jack via the attached cable. AAA battery is required to power the mic.

Q: 4. Is the Azden SMX-10 Mic compatible with the Canon Vixia HV40?

A: Yes it is.

Q: 5. Can I use this mic with my computer? I have an iMac and want to use it with my screen recording software to create tutorials. I purchased the audio jack to USBC cable to connect to my computer, but the computer isn't recognizing it.

A: You need to go TRRS into the computer for your computer to be able to see it through the mini to USB-C adapter that you are using. So you can either use the Rode SC4 adapter with the cable that was included with your SMX-30V microphone, or you can use the Rode SC7 cable as a replacement to go from the microphone into the adapter that you have connected to your computer.

Q: 6. are you able to tilt the microphone up or down at all?

A: No -the microphone is in a fixed positon when mounted on a bracket or in the camera's shoe.

Q: 7. Can you use with a Sony FS100 with XLR input and will track be stereo when selected? Which mini to XLR adaptor?

A: The SMX-30 will put out the identical signal on the tip and ring when it's in mono mode so that you can feed the same signal to left and right inputs of your camcorder. I don't know the Sony FS100, but I'll assume it has a pair of female XLR sockets for left and right rather than a stereo 3.5mm socket. I have a Canon camcorder with XLR inputs, and what I use is a cable made by Hosa with a 3.5mm mini plug on one end and a pair of male XLR connectors on the other end. I can't find the model number on the Hosa site, but there other manufacturers of such cables. Search B&H or other vendor web sites for such cables. Since the SMX-30 also has a stereo mini plug, you'll also need to buy an adapter to connect two male mini plugs together (unless you can find a cable with the female mini stereo socket and pair of male XLR connectors).

Q: 8. Is there a power light on the mic?

A: There is no light.

Q: 9. I assume this is mic is appropriate for recording high end piano performances on a Nikon Z6/7?
