Does this device hook straight into the XLR male connectors on the mic itself? Is an XLR cable really needed?

It can connect directly into a mic, but the car cable will help keep weight down if you are handholding the mic and more importantly, using an car cable will greatly reduce the stress placed on the connector itself, which will allow the icicle and your mic to last longer.

Although it can be done, The manufacturer does not recommend connecting the mic directly. Quite frankly, it's a pretty flimsy and unsubstantial piece of gear. I've moved up to a Focusrite Scarlet. Much much better.

i have loudbox artist, but I think they are the same. a regular xlr mic cable works male on one side female on the other. for them no special cable needed.

Addition to my previous answer: Just be sure that your connectors on either end of the XLR and USB adapters match the equipment. The mixer will need a male-end XLR and you will need a usb adapter that fits the end of your USB mic cable.

Yes, this adapter will convert that Rode mic to XLR. It is a very simple adapter that uses brute-force connection instead of the more elegant approach of using a transformer. However, it does work for me -- and it's cheap and lightweight.

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

Oops?! Are you asking about input? Out output? Input, you have many options! 1/4", the xy built in mics, or a mixture of both. As for adapters for an xlr> 1/4" for the input, the radio shack near me has them and it works fine... For the output, there is an 1/8" (headphone) jack used for monitoring as well as an external speaker. I hope that this helps?!

It has 4 XLR inputs and two 1/4" TRS inputs so if your mic cables all end in xlr you will need two female xlr to male 1/4" TRS adaptors. As long as you have the proper adaptors it should work just fine. In the record settings you can set it up for individual files. The manual does a decent job of explaining inputs and set up and there are many tutorials on youtube on using this unit.

There are two inputs in the back that will work with either a 1/4 inch cable OR XLR. I know it sounds weird, but this type of input has become a bit more common. You see these on various interfaces (see the Focusrite Scarlett II). With the iO dock, there is also a switch next to each input to designate the signal as either a mic line (XLR), or an instrument cable (1/4").

No, it is an XLR to use with a standard microphone cord. It also requires an AA battery for power.

yes it comes with 2 xlr connectors male. you can plug in 2 female xlr connectors

No this has just an XLR input and no 1/8th. It's not a multi jack like some inputs.I use a lab mic with 1/8th and knocked up my own cable adapter for it...male XLR to 1/8th female. Little bit of soldering time and say $3.00 you've got it sorted. The pre amp is so good!...it's worth doing I assure you. Or go buy an adapter lead if you don't want to do it yourselve.

You can plug directly into the preamp (using xlr cable). I plug the mic into an Event preamp, and the preamp into the recorder. Very simple.

Yes it does. And there is also a 1/4" output that combines the signals from both mics. But I use it as you are intending with 2 xlr's into my board. I've been using these mics for over a year and they have served me well. I definitely would recommend since there is nothing else quite like this anywhere near this price range.

You will need a XLR cable. One end to connect to the microphone and the other to connect to any other device. For example a mixer which then connects to a speaker or directly to a speaker that is powered. This means the speaker has a amplifier built in.

This cable is XLR male, and its common use is to run an audio output from a laptop, ipod, ipad etc, 1/8 output, to a mixing console, direct box etc. I wouldn't use it with a microphone. In fact, most condenser mics need an XLR female or some USB capsules uses a usb cord.

This shock mount includes an xlr cable attachment for microphones with such input. I suppose you could attach the microphone and just use the usb cord attached the microphone and computer...but why? There are studio arms without the xlr cord attached, perhaps it best you find one that doesn't because this cord does not dis-attach (if that's a word) from the studio arm. Hope this helps.
