Will this microphone work with Windows 8 ?

That depends on exactly how you want to use it. This mic will require some sort of interface and that is what will need to be compatable with Windows 8 (which is likely it will be). This will not plug into a regular sound card as it requires an XLR jack. You can buy XLR to TRS converters as well as USB converters. However, this mic comes in a USB version. It would work excelent as a Blog Caster's mic. Windows 8 most certainly has generic drivers that would work with it. ASIO4ALL is a good generic open source driver available free (search ASIO4ALL, you can't miss it). So if you want to plug directly into your computer this mic will be problematic without other appropreate equipement. The AT2020USB will plug directly into a USB port and any audio software should see it as an available input.

i doubt there are any DAWs that support windows 8, not very sure i just haven't come across 1, if your DAW and your Interface support windows 8 then there will be no problem, unless you are using the USB version of the mic, check the manufacturers specs on the Audio Technica website. TIP: if you are going for a NADY spider shock mount with the integrated pop filter to use with this mic, AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!

It has nothing to do with Windows. This mic plugs into a preamp or audio interface. You should find out if the audio interface is Win 8 compatible. I will say though, think about moving to a Mac pc for audio production. Win 8 is not designed for multitracking.

Yes it will work with Windows 8 and it is very easy to use as it is plug/play.

I never was able to make the microphone working with my Windows Phone, so I can't answer your question. But the sound is magnificent.

I use mine with windows 7, and it works perfect, but I'm not sure about windows 8.

It sure does. I use Audacity on an Asus Windows 8 laptop and have had no problems with it detecting the mic.

This microphone works perfectly with Win. 8.1. That is what I run on my gaming rig, and this mic gives perfect voice quality to my YouTube videos. I don't think this mic really cares about your OS, since it has no drivers to install. It's just plug and play!

I used it with windows 7 so it should work. I connected a recording studio to it. No problems at all.

No, not unless you have/buy a USB Microphone that is built for it. And buying the USB converter doesn't work either

yes it should. it doesn't require drivers. windows 7 and server 2008 R2. the generic audio drivers from windows work fine. you can always just install the windows 7 drivers if 8 doesn't come with them stock, but they do as far as i know.

You should, provided the connections are right. The microphone can be positioned directly in front of one's mouth, so clarity can be assured. Keep in mind that with almost anyspeech recognition system there will be a learning period both on your part and the machine's part. Since it works with my Dragon(r) speech-ware, it should work with Win 8 just fine.

Only if your microphone also has an XLR option. There is only the USB connection to the computer not any for USB microphones

My PC is a Windows 7 unit, so I don't know. But it would be very annoying if it didn't work with Windows 8.

Mics don't really have a compatibility thing, Its not a program. It will work on pretty much anything.

Yes Dragon NaturallySpeaking v 12 will work with Windows 8, no previous versions of Dragon will work with Windows 8. http://www.nuance.com/ucmprod/groups/corporate/@web-enus/documents/collateral/nc_026405.pdf

Yes, it will work on Windows 8. Some other users here have used it on their machines with no problem.

Yes. I have used it on a Windows 8 machine last week. I downloaded the latest version of Audacity from SourceForge.net and plugged in the device.

Assuming W8 means Windows 8, then yes. It has a mini USB port to obtain the sound directly from your computer. If you prefer a more analog method, you might need some cables/adapters for full use of the device (and it'll be a huge messy lot of cables, mind you), but it'll work with almost any system
