I have a Shure X2u to connect this mic to the computer, it's terrible. What's a $200-400 interface that won't suck?

I recommend the focusrite 2i2. Great little 2 input interface that will do the job well.

I would not rely on this mic for a high quality recording, or even a decent recording. Especially not for micing amplifiers or acoustic instruments. Get a cheap MXL condenser mic.

The AX3040 works great I also use the Behringer XENYX 1202 12 - input mixer it gives you more control over the voice quality.

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

It may not be optimal, but you could craft a combo of converter plugs and put it in the computer's mic or input jack. I've done something similar before, and if you aren't looking for perfect audiophile quality it should be fine.

"The mic", I had to buy a USB Converter, but I got mine for $2.18. So its not to bad. I got mine at ----> HDE 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter. The mic isn't powered, so it needs a usb converter. Plus almost all computers have usb, not line-in.

We returned this item, because the mic was not very good (per my 17 yr old son). Replaced with Corsair, of similar cost (a little more expensive)

Hi. I love this mic. To use on a computer you would need an interface that will convert the analog output to digital. You will also need an xlr cable that goes from the mic to the interface and a usb cable from interface to computer. If you are recording music you will need a recording program. Without a program you can encounter a noticable delay. Have fun!

You could use the analog adapter, and pick up a stereo mic mixer. That's the only thing that comes to mind.

Brandon, Good news and bad news. The ART Tube mp project is a great preamp and can warm tones greatly! On to the other side and to answer your question. You will need an audio interface. I use and recommend a Focusrite Scarlett series which feature XLR and 1/4 inch inputs to a USB output. I personally use a 2i2 model which features 2 inputs to USB and sells for $150 on Amazon. If you only need 1 channel then the Focusrite solo @ $99 will work for you. Read reviews and search youtube and I am sure you will find this the way to go. Sorry to double or triple your expenses, but it has worked fantastic for me with instruments or mics into a DAW computer based system. Hope this helps..... Brandon, Good news and bad news.

Go with a wireless system. Get one that has one receiver that supports 2 microphones.

You definitely need a preamp and audio interface or an audio interface that includes at least one mic preamp. Also the preamp you use will need quite a bit of gain as this mic has a fairly low output level.

Hey Zach. You definitely need a preamp especially with the SM7B. It's such a quiet mic even compared to 58, 58A. I run mine through a line 6 Toneport UX2 and have to really crank up the preamp. For my money, I'd go with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. Actually, just looking at it, I might buy one for the SM7B as a preamp on top of my UX2.

Any usb interface with xlr inputs will work. You want to use an xlr cable to connect the mic to the interface. As far as brands go, i use Focusrite but any interface you can afford should do the trick

You need a audio interface for that check the link Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Audio Interface

Use an audio interface. I use the focusrite scarlett 2X2 which I ordered from Amazon. There are many others though.

You need something that supplies the mic with Phantom Power and connects to your PC via USB. I would use something like a "MXL MICMATE PRO XLR To USB Preamp with gain". Then, you need a PC with a sound card that can handle the quality you require and an internet connection that can broadcast (upload) the amount of kbps you are wanting to send. Good Luck and happy recording!
