I'm a bit confused about the front connectors... They will allow for an XLR cable?

Yes, Eric. Those inputs are "combo" and can take the male ends of either a 1/4" jack or XLR cable.
1016972
Yes it is the new universal plug. It accepts quarter inch jacks in the middle and xlr around the outer ring of the same connector.
1016973
Yes! The front cables are for XLR input. I was confused by that at first too.
1016974
yes they will I believe if not sure go to manufacturer web site and double check
1016975
Yes, they allow xlr, 1/4" and speakon all in one strange universal socket. It's a good interface. I'm using it with an iMac and Logic Pro X. Couldn't be happier.
1016976
Yes, they're so-called combo sockets, allowing for both a quarter inch jack as well as XLR

I doubt it. There's no other connection on it other than for a USB cable. This is strictly a digital microphone and an XLR cable is for analog microphones so I doubt if there is even any kind of adapter for this.

It really doesn't matter, both will work. However the other answer does make a point. Getting a 3.5mm to dual 1/4 cable is more direct (assuming that you are splitting the signal out to 2 speakers) because XLR is always balanced and 1/4 can be balanced or unbalanced, which is what happens when a stereo signal is ran on a single cable. So in short you are making an unbalanced signal doing this, which XLR does not support BUT 1/4 does (assuming that you are using a splitter cable to 2 speakers)

you need to get two XLR to 1/4 inch cables to go into your audio interface. you can get them cheap on amazon, or call up guitar center- they can help you more and i'm sure they'd have them.

The XLR connection on both mics are male, just as with pretty much every other mic. As far as the threads, that's for attaching the mic clip to the 550. Hope that helps!

You won't find any XLR outs on this unit...period. For powered speakers, you will be running off one of the 1/4" jacks on top of the unit anyway. You can buy adapters for that. If you bought this unit to run powered speakers, a lot of wattage is going to waste here.

you must upgrade your interconnects for best response. I use balanced xlr connectors throughout my system. do the research go on line. amazon has a complete list of interconnects. the equalizer will be a hybrid' rca on one end xlr on the other. do the research, good luck

Sure you would need a Y adapter. Like Hosa YXF-119 Dual XLR Female to XLR Male Y Cable. They both would be coming in on the same input.

Yup :) these are basically a universal cable with the microphone feature. I had some Souls and off course couple of Monster Beats and they all work. Hope these help :)

Yes via the mic in (if the unit has phantom power) You can ask behringer on twitter @BEHRINGER you need a decent quality mic cable I recommend the GLS XLR Mic cables GLS Audio 25 foot Mic Cable Patch Cords - XLR Male to XLR Female Black Microphone Cables - 25' Balanced Mic Snake Cord - Single I own four of these and swear by them

Yes, a simple XLR cable into a preamp will do the trick. No other converters needed (as long as you have an audio interface of course).

You can use it with the Microkorg if you get an impedance matching transformer, which will also convert the XLR to 1/4in. It may work with a simple cable adapter, but not as well.

This works with a xlr cable you need a usb. This mic uses power supplied thru cable... just a guess..no

Not so fast on that conclusion... an XLR connection doesn't necessarily mean a balanced mic. It's unlikely that a 600 ohm mic is balanced. It will probably work on a short cable if there's no radio source around. Just because it has three contacts doesn't mean that it's using them all.

I had the same problem. Check your xlr cables they might not stay in that we'll if they are not high end ones. I had to buy new cables when i first got them.

You can but the XLR -USB calble will need to have it's own A/D convereter. This is what you are looking for. http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-Cable-Instruments-Microphones/dp/B0050CEEIW Check this video out too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY_C3EBiNy0

In theory yes. It has two inputs that can take either XLR or 1/4" and they two other inputs that are split between right and left channels either 1/4" or composite. So it depends what the connect types you are using.
