okok i must have read through this forum back to front and i cant seem to find an actual answer to how to get my 'Philips SBC MD110' microphone to work with my MK2, surely it should just record and be simple for a bstd change? but obviously not.. So can someone PLEASE put me AND many many many many others out of there misery and explain how to get it to work because at the moment all i seem to be getting is nothing but static.

use the mic dial on the front
press it in to turn it on and press it again to turn off ,
on the mk2 control pannel youl notice , when the mics turned on it says "on air"
notice the talk over levels , adjust them until you get good sound
if you find this doesnt work
on the same control pannel you will see on imputs
and on channel 1/2 can be changed to mic
choose this , then on the mk2 you will see a button select imput , choose external mode
then the microphone will work :) but you willl need to dissable it before the song on 3/4 (deck b ) runs out

If your mic is a "low impedance" mic (i could not find the specs for your mic in the web) you will need a mic impedance converter, such as the Shure A85F - Low to High Impedance Microphone Matching Transformer (costs less than U$ 20). The mk2 is for high impedance mics. I had the same problem with my shure sm58, and after many frustrations I found this solution, now it works perfect. hope this helps...

Another thing you may want to try first before you go off buying hardware you may not need is download some skins (e.g. http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/skin.html?id=2322) and replace the default VDJ Home Edition skin. Look for one of the advanced default skins with a volume level control on the top left. This solved my early mic problems because by default the mic level is set to the lowest. Using this level adjust I was able to increase the volume of the mic thereby being heard over the mix. (Incidentally my microphone is the AKG D880 MS)
