Often hidden in the mixer is a "mike boost" option which can help a lot,
Of course it goes without saying that you have your mike volume nice and
high?
Most sound cards provide plug-in power for condenser microphones and some
do not.
Perhaps your high impeedance microphone is a dynamic rather than condenser
type? This would explain why it works and the other one doesn't.
Also make sure with noise cancelling microphones that the flat side of the
mike is in line with your mouth, even a twist out by 15-20 degrees can
cancel your noise.
Some microphones are on a fixed boom so twist with care.
It has also been my experience that some headsets have a mute switch, check
that because sometimes even when muted a little noise gets in to make you
think it is working. Unmuting it gives you far more spectacular results.
Hope some of this helps.
Regards, Kerry.
