Does this microphone output straight Xlr which i can plug directly into a preamp? Or do i need a special converter?

You can plug directly into the preamp (using xlr cable). I plug the mic into an Event preamp, and the preamp into the recorder. Very simple.

I plugged my XLR cable into a ART preamp, which I then had another XLR cable from out the back of the preamp plugged into a Firewire audio interface. Remember this microphone needs 48v Phantom Power to work properly.

Yes, a simple XLR cable into a preamp will do the trick. No other converters needed (as long as you have an audio interface of course).

This type of microphone requires a "pre-amp". Most mixing boards have these built in to the mic channels but since you are going direct to computer without first going through a mixer you'll need to buy a standalone preamp of some sort.

You can plug directly into a camera with an XLR input. The mic's power is supplied by the batteries in the unit.

There is no XLR input or output. Everything is 1/4". You could of course plug in a microphone with a 1/4" jack. From the design I do not think this would be the best amp to use for a singer songwriter/small venue set up. It is made to use as a home practice amp.

I used this about 2 years ago and from what I remember I needed to connect 2 XLR mics to a stereo camcorder mic input. This is the the not the "correct" way to do this properly. The "proper" solution is more complicated and much more expensive. XLR mics are "Balanced" mics and in theory when used properly they minimize or eliminate the unwanted 60 Hz hum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

you have to buy an XLR cable. I thought this mic would come with one but it doesnt. The xlr cable goes from the receiver into the mixer you are using (or directly into the speaker). I then have the mixer connected to the speakers. Hope that helps!

call Shure tech support. They are very qualified. If you have only the mic iteself, which is not the item you've asked about, I think you'll learn that the mic needs 5 VDC bias current, which the preamp provides, if you have the preamp model, which this item is. The preamp terminates in a male XLR, which itself requires phantom power. You can purchase the mic itself, without the preamp, which is designed to be used with Shure body packs. You may also find that Shure makes lav mics which work with other manufacturers, avaiable on the usual mail order supply companies, which I can't name here. You probably know which ones to which I refer.

You will need an adapter that takes the xlr connector to USB, and also provides 48 volts. I use the Lexicon Lambda. It works well. Audio technical also makes s similar mic that is designed for USB.

The best method would be to use a audio interface box. There are many different models but you could get a descent USB 2.0 one for under a $100.00. Typically they come with mic preams built into the box so you would not have to worry about getting a preamplifier to boost your microphone signal up to a line level. If you went direct you would at least have to use an adapter from XLR male to 1/4 or 1/8 male so it could be plugged directly into your computer motherboard. But you might have a problem with microphone amplification as well as possibly noise from a low mic signal. Hope this helps!

If you are talking about a standard xlr to 1/4 adapter, then yes. I use mine like that. I have the standard xlr cable running out of it, a converter on the other end of the cable with a guitar cable plugged into of that adapter and that guitar cable is plugged into my old peavey standard pa which does not even take xlr's. Lol. I hope this helps, I just wanted to explain that it will and it works great for me.

This mic has a standard XLR input on the back. You can use any standard 3-pin microphone XLR cable to connect this to a sound board, or other recording device.

No. There is only an XLR input. The 1/8" port on the box is output only. You'd need to buy some sort of adaptor to plug an 1/8" into it. Hope this helps!

This preamp is intended for a single source input, whether 1/4" jack or xlr

Hi Kristina, It really depends on your microphone and computer setup. A lot of XLR microphones require "phantom" power, which means that the source powers the microphone. Unless you have a source that can output power, then the mic won't work. Most computer inputs are just basic inputs. They can't supply power. I currently use a Shure 57 mic and I found this cable to work great with it. http://www.amazon.com/HDE%C2%AE-Female-Cable-Instruments-Microphones/dp/B0050CEEIW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386034982&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+to+xlr The USB can supply the right power to an XLR mic. Hope this helps.

You absolutely do need a preamp for this particular microphone. I did not know this when I bought mine and had to acquire a couple to figure out what worked well. This microphone needs around 50db gain from a high-quality preamp to get a usable sound out of it, but if you can get that sound then it's amazing.

you just need an adapter from 1/4" to xlr. Then you just plug the mic in to the pedal through the adapter and from there to the DI box and your in the PA.

Hello,To answer your question there two types: 1-1/4 plug (Controls both Mic outputs)2-Dedicated Xlr outputs per Mic channel)
