Can i plug this microphone into a audio interface? I'm going to get one and it has two input holes, do i need to buy a cable?

Yes you can plug this in to an audio interface. You will not need a standard mic cable, although it would be beneficial to have one depending on your interface. If the interface has both 1/4 inch and XLR jacks or a combo, you are good to go.

The microphone has a detachable 12' cable with a standard 6.5mm (1/4") male jack. The opposite end bayonets into the mike. Any additional cable you would buy for it would need to have the same type of bayonet fitting. But I've found the included cable to be perfectly adequate.

It comes with a cable that is shown in the product info. It has a 1/4 inch plug so if your interface has a 1/4 inch receptacle it will fit. If not then you will need some kind of adapter.

It has a 1/4 inch jack (on the supplied cable) so if it has that as an input then you can. If you use balanced inputs you will need a new cable. Depends on you interface.

You should be able to plug into both without issue... unless your audio interface doesn't have XLR input output on it.

Sorry to say that it does not come with a cable you can plug directly into your computer. But you can get a XLR(female) to 3.5 mm cable. Bad sound quality though! I would suggest buying a nice USB microphone, or USB audio interface you can can plug any mic in,whether it be condenser,dynamic, or ribbon. Which is most audio interfaces? Connect audio interface to computers' USB slot and then connect XM8500 to the audio interface mic input. Hope this helped!

If you only have one input, you will need to use a Y connector. If you have one for speaker and one for mic you will be able to plug it in without an issue. It uses the 3.5mm ends.

It is both a microphone and an amplifier/speaker. It has only one input, so you can not plug two things into it at once.

No this would be used to connect a midi device to a computer. You would need an audio interface to connect a microphone.

I agree with the first person who answered your question. And, yes, you do need an interface (which changes the analog signal of your mic into a digital signal for your computer). I use the Lexicon Alpha...it's cheaper than the Scarlett and does the job; however, it does NOT have phantom power (which your mic needs), but if you're going to get the DBX 286s (which is fantastic preamp/processor, by the way), then that problem will be taken care of. If you decide not to get the dbx unit, then the Scarlett 2i4 interface is the way to go.

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

The cable needed for this mic is an XLR. Make sure you have a mixer to use it with ;-)

You can only plug in XLR and the larger microphone inputs. You have to purchase a adapter to plug in a 3.5mm plug.

Nope, you need a pre' amp interface usb like from m-audio . You will get way better quality. But there are some good usb mic out there on amazon.

You need to use a USB or FireWire audio interface. I use and like the Presonus AudioBox 22VSL. Plug your mic XLR into the DBX and then run the DBX out into one of the AudioBox inputs with a good cable.

It does require a cable with at least a female xlr plug for the mic. The other end of the cable is dependant on your audio equipment.

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

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.

this microphone requires phantom power. If your audio interface or mixer does not have a Phantom power supply built in, you will need to purchase a phantom power supply to insert into your signal chain.
