All I need is something to plug my condenser mic into, would this work fine or over the top for me?

This would work fine as a mixer/preamp and supplies the 40V phantom power that a condenser mike needs. You would still need an amplifier of some sort, unless you are running the output to digital recording software. On the outputs, if you are running to a sound system use a direct box to convert the 1/4" jack to XLR, it will also reduce the signal input to the amplifier (otherwise you are sending a firehose of water to something that needs much less). A half hour with a good sound tech to set the mixer up with your amplifier/sound system is worth the cost.

the XLR jacks do have +48V phantom power to power a condenser mic, though I have not tried it. I understand that the phantom power switch turns all on for the four jacks or all off. I know of others that have used the 1202 with their condenser mics and it seems really good for them.

It should work just fine with the XLR inputs, although it only has 1/4" and RCA out, no XLR out.

The smaller mixer would be better, but for the small price difference you can get a lot more future versatility from this mixer. As is stated, the phantom power on this mixer works great to power a condenser mic. This is the main reason I got it, and the mic preamps are very nice for the price. If you're using for recording, it's perfect. And you have a number of options for output. I record with it hooked through an external USB sound interface into a PC, and it works great.

I bought this adapter so my microphone would transmit, or be heard on both the left and the right channels simultaneously, so I will say that it should do what you need. However, by doing so I lost some of the sound's volume so people at the other end do not hear me as clearly as if I had a stereo microphone.

I Got This For Band Practice For Me And My Guitar Player To SingThrough The Same Channel The Problem We Had Was My Mic Was All Ways Louder Than Could , But That Could Be The Two Different Mics We Were Using If You Use The Same Condenser Mics It Should Be Fine

The Input, is 1/4'' i have a Shure Classic Mic but, i hav'nt recoreded any vocals, if you have mic pre amps , you should be ok with most mics.

You should not need anything else. It is a very simple system. We have 2 sets for our meetings-Each MIC is on a particular channel. When you have 2 systems plugged in at the same time and using 2 MICS that are both on the same channel, you may get feedback or the MIC may not work at all. When I set up the MICs for our meetings I make sure that all the mics are on a different channel...I hope this helps!

It is a dynamic mic so it will send more of a signal than a condenser mic but it still won't be a very powerful signal without sending it to a preamp before sending it to the recording device. I am not familiar with the device you are using but assuming there is a 1/8" input jack and you are using a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter you will be stuck with whatever mic level signal is coming from the mic without the ability to adjust gain (without adding distortion). I am not sure why you don't just use a better option, this way is not the best. There are adapters/systems for sale that allow you to plug a mic into you iPhone and other handheld digital recorders that come with an XLR input and a gain pot. Having one of these will give you a better result and more recording options.

Yes, it will make any Mic louder. For a condenser, use the phantom power. However, this is just a preamp, not an interface, so you need an interface or A/D converter to get the signal into a computer.

yes it will be ok, actually I use it for a condenser microphone, it can hold it, but a little not stable, because the mic is too heavy, I have to make it most tightly to hold it almostly.

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.

Most microphones are mono and use XLR or larger 1/4" ends. Some desktop PC mics will use 1/8" but still, this cable is stereo, so it would not be ideal for your needs.

I am not familer with this unit. if it has phantom power or you have a pre-amp you can use this mic. It is a condenser mic and needs to be powered.

No, condensor microphones are needed to be powered by another source, like phantom power. There is a USB version of this product, but its more expensive

I would suggest an audio interface. Presonus, Apogee, Focusrite, and others make great interfaces that will allow you to hook up the mic to the computer. I would suggest a pop filter with the mic and using phantom power for a condenser mic. Depending on what you want to do, having DAW software will take you one step further.

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

If the machine has XLR type inputs, and if your mic has an XLR connection on the end (like most mics), then yes, it work fine. If your machine only has 1/4" male plug type inputs, then no (or you would at least need an adapter). They also make cables with an XLR type connector on one end (for the mic) and a 1/4" male plug on the other.

I use this on my BlueYeti. That's a wired mic. All you need is a mic with the threads. Screw off the head of this, and you're gravy.

You could use just about any interface that accepts the standard 3-pin XLR cable, presonus,tascam,apollo,UA all would work Please be aware this mic requires 24v phantom power.Get the best quality XLR cable you can afford to connect mic to interface
