can i plug an xlr mic on one end and then go directly to my mac?

only if it has onboard power. I use this cable with a microphone that has a 9volt battery inside it ! works perfectly but the mac does NOT provide phantom power. If your mic requires phantom power this cable will not work. You will need a mix board, there are some inexpensive ones for around $100 that will work.

Yes. I plugged in another and it disabled the one. Also you can select which mic you want via the control panel on a window's computer.

This mic works amazingly well with Mac OS X that's what I use mine with GarageBand

Yes, you can. I used this cable to capture media from a JVC to my MacBook Pro.

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.

Easiest way is to use either CHIRP software and a computer (requires a USB programming cord that goes from the mic slot to your computer). There's also a free Kenwood software program available from their site-called MCP 1A.

You need a regular mic cable (xlr ends). It connects the output of one into the input of another.

I bought a 3.5mm minijack extender (8') and an RCA to 3.5mm minijack adapter from Radio Shack and have it plugged into my Macbook while recording (and monitoring) with Audacity. This works well for my purposes. :)

Yes, however, the problem with mac computers is you need an adapter for your mic to be powered. So without that adapter you will likely only be able to get sound from the headphones. If you do not want to buy an adapter best to buy an USB headset.

Only via mini plug. No XLR input for microphone or a mixer. That would have cost a lot more (but also have been very useful!).

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.

You can use a creative sound blaster USB Sound card to adapt on you Mac. It will send the signal to the adapter.

Yes, an XLR cable is what it is designed to use, however, a USB cable is only to be used to connect the Mic interface to a computer and an XLR to USB cable will not work as a direct connection to/from the Mic.

You can connect it directly. That's how I've always used them. Wouldn't hurt to have an extra XLR to give yourself more space.

No you can't. This has a male XLR connector. Microphones have male XLR connectors. You need a cable with a female XLR. Remember that for XLR connectors the pins point where the sound is going.

Sorry but no. Like most similar recorders, plugging onto one of the connectors from an external source disables the built-in mics. To do what you are asking requires an external mixer.

Yup, this works fine with Mac and the CAD GXL2200 (generally, it will work with any mic that has an XLR output).
