picking one up that comes with a male/female xlr cable. Which end of the XLR needs the 1/4" adapter if I am plugging into a guitar amp? Thanks!

That kind of cable is not meant to plug into a guitar amp. You need a 1/4 to 1/4, then you need what is called a Direct Box, which has the XLR connection to the sound board.

I use High Performance OFC connecting cables-2 TRS on one side the other XLR's which I made up! Guitar cables are Great! Your ears will pick up the Difference..I connect the XLR's to a power amp then out into the Virtualizer pro DSP2024P-Preset settings on the Virtualizer: I:O73 TUBE AMP! This Creates a Giant Stereo Smack with Clarity = MID BASS & TREBLE & the Levels are Way up to 0.5db & of coarse the CD recorder to lift the Levels to that Mark. I hope this was helpful to complete your Music Workmenship, God Bless ya Bruce & have a Great Week.

Hi - I also have RCA inputs and found these Procab adapters that seem to be excellent quality and used with good quality cables have not made any noticeable difference. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Procab-Classic-RCA-Female-to-XLR-Male-Adapter-/121002301872 They also make these which are excellent value. http://www.bax-shop.nl/xlr-rca/procab-cab701-2x-xlr-male-2x-rca-male-3.00-meter/product-details.html

Yes you would need a 1/4" to 1/8" plug like this one Leegoal 3.5mm M to 1/4-Inch F AdapterThe cable is long and I've only had a total of 1 to 2 hours in them but they sound great for our studio application, which are live guitars for me. It would look like overkill with the adapter plugged into your laptop but you could do it. HTH

There are XLR and 1/4 inch cord inputs. The 1/4" is inside the XLR input, you just stick it in.

MarszDude is right. I use a 1/4" male to 3.5mm female stereo adapter on my Sony studio headset in the built in 1/4" headphone jack. There is also a pair of stereo RCA in/outs that I use to patch through my USB audio interface into my computer for recording and monitoring from the interface. There is an additional control room out patch in 1/4", too.

I'm a little confused by the statement "same input and output"--so I will try to answer best I can. The input and output jacks are male and female, one goes to mic and other goes to the mixer/sound board. I'm mostly assuming the input/output question is that the cable has the same voltage/impedence throughout. I have been buying adapters that up the power as well as go to a 1/4 inch jack. My four track recorder does not have phantom power (to power the mic) so the low-z to high-z adapter is my way of powering the mic. Hope that makes sense and answers the question.

There are two inputs in the back that will work with either a 1/4 inch cable OR XLR. I know it sounds weird, but this type of input has become a bit more common. You see these on various interfaces (see the Focusrite Scarlett II). With the iO dock, there is also a switch next to each input to designate the signal as either a mic line (XLR), or an instrument cable (1/4").

It plugs in using a standard microphone XLR jack (three prong), which is common to most amps and PA's. Otherwise if he needs a 1/4" plug he'll want an xlr to 1/4 inch adaptor. I have to use phantom power on my input when playing, but it sound great.

You could buy a 'Y' adapter which has 1 quarter inch input on one side and 2 female inputs on the back so you can run your quarter inch instrument cable into one, then convert if your mic is XLR or just plug the quarter end into that.

Yes that is what I do, as long as you have an XLR jack on your amp or an adapter to use 1/4"

that is a 1/4" connector, not xlr, it can be removed and replaced with xlr if necessary, but it's better to buy the correct cable.

Depends on what you are connecting to. The mic uses an XLR connection, when I plug into my TC Helicon it requires an XLR connection, my amp requires a straight jack. I have both cables depending on what I am doing. Remember the better the shielding on the mic cable the less chance of buzz or hum from your speakers. Good luck and happy singing.

There are a bunch of different mini-xlr pin outs. This is not the one to hook into a Shure body pack (TA4F), it has a three pin designed to go into the AT body pack. There is no reason you couldn't get an adaptor or if you know how to solder to replace it with a 4 pin you just need to get the pinout right. I do know that the gain on this one is pretty low so you need a beefy body pack preamp. The standard AT one barely can gain it up.

The XLR is usually used when there is a long distance between the microphone receiver and the amplifier. I use the 1/4 inch when the receiver is nearby the mixer/amplifier.

It depends on what side of the cable you plan to plug into the mixer. The 1/4" jack works perfectly, however, keep in mind that you can't use phantom power with a 1/4" jack. You can't really use the female microphone cable side because there isn't a male outlet on the mixer. I would definitly recommend this mixer. Not only have I used this mixer at home, but our amps died in our auditorium and we use this little mixer to provide power to all of our hanging stage mics. It works perfectly and I haven't had any issues with it.
