Sound do-hickey

[peter_g]

Hello everyone,
I'm sure there is a device I can get that plugs into your standard 3.5mm Mic jack that you have on your camcorder that allows you to connect multiple mics and to adjust the volume and the like.

can anyone:
1) tell me what this device is called?

2) tell me how much it costs?

3) tell me Where I can get one?

Thanks

such devices are called mixers...

here is an example of the sort of thing you could use

tip... if using two mics pan them left and right, thay way you have some control over the mix once you are back in the editing stage.
