How To Connect an XLR Mic to Computer for Beginners

Ғылым және технология

WARNING: I no longer recommend using a USB soundcard to connect a microphone to your computer. It has become too unreliable due to manufacturers altering the components used in their products as well as alterations to operating systems causing additional problems. The only method of connecting a microphone to your computer that I recommend is with a USB AUDIO INTERFACE that is designed specifically for that use case.

    World of Childrens it depends on what sound quality. My experience with USB/XLR cables are all cheep and kind of suck no matter witch one you get.the break in a couple of months and sodering wears out. Sound cards are also dodgy and sometimes won’t work at all. If you want something nice just get a cheep behringer audio interface. They supply phantom power (which dynamic mics don’t need) but you can expand in the future if you want to get a condenser mic. If you really wanna get crazy get a small usb mixer with a couple of channels. It all depends on what you want, but I recommend a AI

    You can. BUT, you'll lose a hell load of power and sound quality. The bossy signal conveyed from XLR (look at those 3 fat-ass pins/holes) will have to squeeze-in into the skinny 3.5 mm. It's like inserting a Ferrari engine into do-it-yourself mecanisms of a Fiat Panda, you could start-up and drive upto 20 km/h, but then hitting 25 km/h you start feeling the erratic noise and movements...

So, the XLR to USB will help? I saw you used the sm58 but I don't know if that could make much difference in the audio quality with my sv100... I just want to record games and stream, what I found is that the dynamic mics could be better than condenser ones because they pick up less noise and my computer fans are very loud! I wanted to buy the CAD u37 (i'm Windows user) or the Snowball Ice but I just want to know if buying a XLR to USB cable with my sv100 will help to get at least a similar quality to the Snowball Ice or the u37, so I can save more money! Nice videos! I just suscribed to your 3 channels :)

    why cant we just connect the aux (from the phantom power supply) to the pc mic jack (via the aux -- 3.5mm mic jack) straight away??

    In order to explain this first you have to understand how a condenser Mic is different from an electronic one. The shortest answer I can give is one is self charged while the other needs more power and charge to operate properly.

    So I bought a BM-800 on Amazon and it came with a USB sound card but any time it's plugged in there's a really high pitched noise. Also, the mic was super quiet (although it was massively overshadowed by the ringing). I figure it's just the crappy sound card so I bought the one in this video, but I'm concerned about the low mic volume too. Could the sound card be causing that too? I'm running XLR to phantom to sound card to PC.

    David Maslovaric, because the sound card’s only significance is to power it. If you are fine with a mic REALLY close into your face, just use the sound card. If you aren’t okay with it, you can just get a phantom power supply. If you don’t have a PPS, the audio could be really funky, and you’ll need to be in a very quiet room. Hope this helps!

    Isaac Jones, unless your pair of headphones has a microphone, then no. Just plug it into the audio jack. But if you want to use the mic from the headphones, (if you do have one) you need another pair of cables. Here’s the pair of cables you are going to need: www.amazon.com/Headphones-Convertors-Headphone-Microphone-Simultaneously/dp/B01M8G1U0C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521209930&sr=8-3&keywords=headset+adapter+for+pc ; if you don’t know how to use it, here you go. If you have a microphone on your headset, plug your headset into the splitter adapter (the port on the end that splits the two other wires) then, plug the two 3.5mm cables into the correct spots into your sound card. Hope this helps!

Then I just pull the usb from my laptop but it makes a loud plosive sound when I do. Also, also in the beginning I forgot to switch the phantom power off and on. I just left my microphone in the interface and switch the interface on. Is this very damaging?
