I want to plug a mic into the Alesis, then connect the Alesis into my PC - to use the mic for speaking on skype, webinars - will that work??

Yes definitely. Thats what this was made for. It has XLR, which is commonly used with condenser mics and has phantom power in the device. It also has 1/4 input. You just need to set up the iO2 as your input device either in your computer sound settings or in the Skype software.

It should plug into any 3.5 mm microphone jack. If you want to plug this in via USB your going to need to buy a 3.5mm to half inch converter and buy a USB audio interface. I would not suggest that because thats going to run you 35+ dollars. Most computers have the 3.5mm microphone jack so you should be all set.

No there's a mic already built in and it works with Skype, chatroulette, and the Lenovo video capture thing.

Check and make sure the interface you bought has phantom power (+48v) and that the phantom power is turned on, otherwise your condenser mic will not work

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

Yes you can but you will need to purchase this cable: http://alesis.com/dm6cablesnake

No. This device only powers the Mic. (certain mics require phantom power). Use an M_Audio Fastract to convert your analogue signal to digital and connect to your computer.

Speaking for Windows, yes, you can assign the audio ins/outs of the Scarlett as your 'communication device' in Control Panel, and it works just fine with Google Hangouts / Skype / GotoMeeting. The video aspect is irrelevant since there are no video features on the Scarlett. Your existing webcam would continue to work as it did before, with or without the Scarlett enabled as your communication device.

That depends on exactly how you want to use it. This mic will require some sort of interface and that is what will need to be compatable with Windows 8 (which is likely it will be). This will not plug into a regular sound card as it requires an XLR jack. You can buy XLR to TRS converters as well as USB converters. However, this mic comes in a USB version. It would work excelent as a Blog Caster's mic. Windows 8 most certainly has generic drivers that would work with it. ASIO4ALL is a good generic open source driver available free (search ASIO4ALL, you can't miss it). So if you want to plug directly into your computer this mic will be problematic without other appropreate equipement. The AT2020USB will plug directly into a USB port and any audio software should see it as an available input.

Hi Sally I connect my turntable to my stereo input and stereo goes to a sound jack in my computer. I think this is better than using the Alesis adptor.I tried one and sent it back.Try using your stereo and let me know, Doug in Carlsbad Ca.

Assuming you have a Windows Operating System, go into control panel and in hardware/sound options, select the playback device as the Alesis USB Audio. This should route the audio to the Alesis and allow you to control the volume from the board.

I would expect you could connect the Pyle mic to a PC. The mic has an unbalanced 2 conductor 1/4"plug. You will need a converter plug or cable to a 1/8" plug to go into the computer. The computer may be 2 channel in stereo, but the mic is mono, so you may have to work around that issue too.

The Alesis has a midi in and out socket so once connected up it should be able to 'see' the unit as though it were a device on a USB socket. If in trouble the guys at Alesis are very happy to swap emails withnyou and help you sort this out - that's what I did with my SR18 and linking up to Sibelius, the notation application.

Yes; however, several of us have tried using this to connect our PCs to use Skype and they have all eventually stopped working. It seems to burn out. We are now using a splitter that works much better! If you are interested the item is Startech audio cables 3.5 mm 4 pin to 2x3 pin 3.5 headset splitter adapter - f/m. Hope this helps!

I'm not 100% sure but I think the computer's mic port is for input only. There is a separate port for audio output. This connector is made for headset ports which have both. So unless your computer has a specific headset port, I don't think this would work.

You need to install all the needed drivers. Once you do that, you should be able to see the podgx as a ASIO capable sound source in your DAW. You don't need a built in mic on your pc. You do need something to plug into the podgx such as an electric guitar.

I've never used it that way but you would need an adapter in order to connect it to a computer. The mic uses a 1/4 inch plug" while most computers use a stereo mini mic input.
