is this only for video mics or can it be used for condenser mics to record music?

It will work on a condenser mic as long as it fits. This doesn't fit my shotgun mic but does fit my vocal mic. But i wouldn't use it unless outside where the wind would hit the mic because this will slightly muffle the sound.

Yes, it works OK for recording but you have to make sure you do it in a place without any noise since the mic picks up any sound around it... Where I have my system there is an old computer about 15 ft. away from mine and I can hear it in the recordings I have done. I guess the best would be to have it in a sound proof room.

Not for video. You could potentially use it to route just the sound, but I'm pretty sure their are cheaper/better switches for that purpose. What you want to find is a switch with the normal component cable inputs ( just red, white and yellow ports ) on the back.

Yes, you don't want condensor mics outside anyway. Besides the 2 other persons' suggestions - note that the end that plugs into an amp or mixer is 1/4 inch, not XLR, so make sure your other equipment will match.

This cable is XLR male, and its common use is to run an audio output from a laptop, ipod, ipad etc, 1/8 output, to a mixing console, direct box etc. I wouldn't use it with a microphone. In fact, most condenser mics need an XLR female or some USB capsules uses a usb cord.

I have only used it to record musical compositions, but you should be able to use it as a sound effect board. Just record the sound bites and files in an organized file system. There are many ways to do this, live recordings being the easiest, I'd imagine.

I am sure you could use this for a microphone if you have a long enough cable. It is sturdy and versatile.

No clue. I used it between a condenser microphone and an amplifier using XLR connectors.

This device is for computer output only. You can not use it to get audio into your computer for record

Yes i use it for my youtube videos! This is a very good microphone and I highly recommend it!

YES, I am using it in the Sony recorder. It is not good for music, but works well for simple instructions.

This would work fine as a mixer/preamp and supplies the 40V phantom power that a condenser mike needs. You would still need an amplifier of some sort, unless you are running the output to digital recording software. On the outputs, if you are running to a sound system use a direct box to convert the 1/4" jack to XLR, it will also reduce the signal input to the amplifier (otherwise you are sending a firehose of water to something that needs much less). A half hour with a good sound tech to set the mixer up with your amplifier/sound system is worth the cost.

Audio Technica has a variety of condenser mics. Regardless of the one you pick it will work.

In my opinion it is too sensitive for live performance without feedback being an issue. It is more appropriate for recording in a studio environment. Just my opinion, it may work for you.

no, you need phantom power for a condenser mic. the computer does not provide that. The cable is made for dynamic mics.

This should totally work for your needs. Ive had no problem at all with mine. I use it to record and play digital synth through a PA.

No it is not a condenser, it's a dynamic mic, it requires no phantom power, +48V
