I have no idea how to use the NEXXTECH CLIP-ON MICROPHONE

I bought the Nexxech Clip on Microphone to use with Skype. My plan was to use the computer speakers to hear and the microphone to talk into. That way myself and the rest of the family could participate in the chat. However, the only way I can seem to make it work is to plug in both the green and pink/orange cables in to the computer and listen and talk through the earpiece/microphone. Is there not a way to just have the microphone connected and listen through the computer so everyone can participate? There do not seem to be instructions for this. I am sure this should be straightforward so cannot begin to express my frustration with my computer illiteracy!!

Normal 0 Web Camera’s an Audio have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.

Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

A. Skype Setup:

After downloading and installing Skype set it up as follows:

  1. Go to TOOLS, then OPTIONS, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
  2. Then click on the Video Settings.
  3. The camera if installed properly will come up and show a picture.
  4. Then on the bottom of the page click on Save.

The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now see and talk to you.

B. Yahoo Setup:

After downloading and installing Yahoo Messenger set it up as follows:

  1. Go to Messenger at the top left and click on it.
  2. Next go down to Preferences and click on it.
  3. Next Calling and Devices on the right and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
  4. Next go to the Test Audio section and (in blue writing) click on “Open the call setup assistant” and follow the instructions on the left window.

When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
Hope this helps. Bud

The Clip Light and Static ?

I don't know what make & model of microphone or clip light you're using, but try unplugging the microphone cable from the preamp. That will tell you if the problem is in the microphone or the preamp/amplifier.

If you still get noise with microphone unplugged, try checking the power supply. You'll probably hear any hum from power supply. Make sure you're using one that's recommended or sold by the manufacturer.

Finally, try replacing the output cable. Any open circuits in the output cable could cause hum & noise.

That's all I can think of right now. Good luck.

You can also go here http://www.crossroadsaudio.com/Rentals%20Catalog.pdf scroll down to page 5 and you can use this - $15.00 Telex ELM-22S Black Lapel Mic, Shure TA4F w/ Mic Clip -- That clip is the same diameter as your mic and is made by Telex.

Microphone stand

this confused me too! if you havn't figured it out already there is an adaptor screwed into the mic clip to work with standard mic stand mounts. in order for it to fit on the desk stand that comes with it, you have to to first unscrew the adaptor sitting inside the barrel of the mic clip. then it will be the right size to screw onto the stand.

Autimaticaly a clip sound occurs at regular interval

This is typical of component failure, and possibly capsule issues, as well. The mic requires professional service. Condenser Microphone Mod Service

Instrument mic - clip has snapped off

I'd recommend [email protected] or [email protected]. Applied microphone.com sells a universal clamp for their Wi5 wireless microphone system that works for brass, woodwinds and stringed instruments.
