What do I need to plug this into a USB port? I know I need an adapter or converter, but the ones I see on Amazon have two 3.5 holes, not one, and this mic seems to have only one 3.5 plug. I am not computer savvy, so could someone point me to the right...

It should plug into any 3.5 mm microphone jack. If you want to plug this in via USB your going to need to buy a 3.5mm to half inch converter and buy a USB audio interface. I would not suggest that because thats going to run you 35+ dollars. Most computers have the 3.5mm microphone jack so you should be all set.

This microphone does NOT directly plug into a computer like one of the replies makes it seem like!!!!!!!!!! This mike plugs into a normal amp!!!

No, on the top it's a 6.3mm (big audio plug) and an XLR (3 pin) for your microphone. What are you using it for? I recommend a USB audio interface; I have one by Behringer and use it with my mixer for studio / singing. Like $30. Or not you can just plug the audio from this preamp to your PC and use a USB sound card if you don't have one. ;) Peace.

You will need a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter though. I suggest getting a self-powered mic still. this signal may be weak.

You need a XLR to USB adapter, but I don't recommend using this mic for a computer. You are better off with a Blue Yeti mic: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1378294788&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+yeti+usb+microphone

Nope. This cable only splits one audio out into two. Maybe it's possible to use this on a mic plug, but both plugs would only input audio. If your computer does not have separate Mic jack, then what you probably need is a USB Mic. Sorry :P

Hi Laura,The mic rquires an XLR-to-XLR cable. If you want to go into a USB port, you would need something like the MicPort Pro (which I have an highly recommend). Harlan's site carries that as well.Hope that helps!Fred

You need something that supplies the mic with Phantom Power and connects to your PC via USB. I would use something like a "MXL MICMATE PRO XLR To USB Preamp with gain". Then, you need a PC with a sound card that can handle the quality you require and an internet connection that can broadcast (upload) the amount of kbps you are wanting to send. Good Luck and happy recording!

Yikes no adapter with it that I saw. I hooked up a mic to it, and plugged it in....don'tsee where a battery would attach.

You have what we call a 48v Phantom Power Mic Which means... Firat of all ots a great mic and second, you need serious power puahing the mic to it's potential and that can only be achieved with an 'Audio Interface.' The a sort of mic you have is to good and powerful to just be powered with a simple cable such as this. I ran into the same problem. I learnt the hard way as well.

The application is TruRTA, but it takes a bit of effort to understand. The link will also have info about options for connecting the mic to a PC: an XDL-USB adapter (Amazon) or a mini mixer (Amazon).

find a mic with a better connection. i had to buy another adapter just to use it.

Ok what is it is the hole on the computer too big or too small for the plug from the headset? Do you have a connection for each of the mic and the ear pieces or just one? For newer computer the Head set has a single 3.5MM connection with 4 contact rings that will work with newer phones, tablets and computers both apple and windows. for older computer that separate connection for the mic and speaker they provide an adapter cable that is color coded green for speakers or headphones and pink for mic. The other adapter is a 2.5 mm for older cell phones and many wireless home phone. From your post I have to guess you have the 2.5 mm adapter installed, remove it and plug the cable directly into the computer. Hope this helps.

I don't see why you couldn't connect it if you have a 3.5 mm adapter, although I have never done that before. Not sure how it sounds when recording but to give you a suggestion, you might want to look for a different product because to me it doesn't seem like a good choice if you're trying to record a voice or something else. It's mostly good for live situations, like if you're plugging it into an amp to have a jam session. Hope this helps!

Nope, you need a pre' amp interface usb like from m-audio . You will get way better quality. But there are some good usb mic out there on amazon.

We had to return the one I got my son for Christmas. After we purchased the microphone I went out to get the adapter to USB. The computer said it was working but it never received audio input. I think it has to go directly into an amp. It seems like a great mic but doesn't fit our use. I replaced it with a snowball. Half the price and works great.
