Hi, I want to use this mic on a computer for singing. What other equipment do I need to purchase to make it work, etc cable?

Hi. I love this mic. To use on a computer you would need an interface that will convert the analog output to digital. You will also need an xlr cable that goes from the mic to the interface and a usb cable from interface to computer. If you are recording music you will need a recording program. Without a program you can encounter a noticable delay. Have fun!

You are going to need a cord with on one side a female xlr and on the other side a 1/8" jack plug. If you can only find a cord with 1/4" jack plug you can use a reducing adapter to make it 1/8".

Okay for this type of microphone, you're going to need cables first off as this doesn't come with them. You'll need one standard mic midi cable. And then you'll need a midi to usb cable as well. After that the only other thing you'll need is a phantom power supplier. They're relatively cheap and they power up the mic so you get optimal performance.

It can be hooked up to a amplifier (speaker). You will need to purchase a microphone cord. That cord's connector will fit right into the speaker. It will not plug in to a computer unless you buy some kind of converter for the connector. Good luck with your singing! I sing too. :Dyou can get a cord at Guitar Center or other music store...and a converter at Radio Shack.

This isn't for connecting to a computer, it's only phantom power used for special microphones that require power. You are looking for something like the PreSonus AudioBox USB 2x2 USB Recording Interface.

Definitely. You will need a mic, XLR cable, USB cable, computer, and DAW. You'll also need to download the appropriate driver for your operating system. With a good quality studio mic, and adequate isolation, you should be able to capture a good quality vocal recording. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

You'll also need a small amplifier to boost the signal into the computer. I ordered the same microphone for my daughter and added the Alctron PS100 power supply (about $50). It works well.

You will need a phantom power source to use the mic. I record via my ProFire 2626 into my MacBook Pro, and the ProFire unit provides this power source. There are probably other power supplies you can buy for less if you don't want to go that route.

Connecting this to pc is an activity. The microphone uses xlr professional connector. Using various adapters to change interface results in signal leakage and hum is picked up. Thus equipment will work with professional audio equipment and not very well with a pc. Very difficult to use because minimizing hum pick up is a major activity.

You either want to use an audio interface(preferred method) which has mic/line inputs. The cable has 1/8in to 1/4in jack 1/8 goes to violin & 1/4 to audio interface. Google audio interface, cheap ones start around $100..,or can get an 1/8in to 1/8in cable at radio shack or best buy and plug into mic input on computer. Not usually as good, will likely have noise issues, more feedback problems and latency(delay in signal)

Hey Candy, This microphone works with phantom power, so if you want connect it to your computer you are going to need a phantom to usb adapter such as Blue Icicle. Blue Icicle adapter is going to allow you to power your mic with your computer and record with any application or software of your preference after you set it up as your computer external mic. You can find this in amazing too. No cords come with the mic set, you only get the pair of microphones plus the microphone's holder for each one. MXL is a great brand and this pair will offer you an amazon sound quality, although, the problem with phantom powered microphones is that they are very sensitive to temperature. You are dealing with professional equipment, there for maintenance is important. If what you are looking for is a good quality usb microphone, i will recommend you to take a look at Blue. They build great usb powered microphones such as "the snowball. very portable, not too heavy, extremely durable and most importantly good sound quality. this lil guy comes with the stand a cord, ready to go. amazon prizes this product for $49.99 (half the prize of the MXL 550/551) If what you are looking for is good quality and portability, ready to go mic. I will recommend you to go for the Blue Snowball microphone. Great from home standard recording. Otherwise take a look at the blue icicle usb adapter to connect it to your computer. Good Luck!!!

You will need an amplification system of some sort depending on your usage. You will also need 4 xlr cables if you intend to control each mic separately from a sound mixing board. I will be happy to advise further if you provide me with more information on how you plan to use the system.

No, like almost every other stage vocal microphone you will need a microphone cable with XLR connectors.

Antony: this is an analog device, and does not include any cable. If you want to connect it to a computer you´ll need a sound card. If you want a performance grade microphone with USB conncectivity I suggest the Shure PG-27 USB Shure PG27-USB Multi Purpose Microphone Good luck
