I just bought Excelvan&Acirc;&reg; Condenser Sound Recording Microphone Can I use this preamplier or can I connect the mic to this preamplier?

This is a pre-amp for turntable MM cartridges only & not a Mic pre-amp. Sorry...

Yes, a preamplifier is required in order to use this microphone. It requires an XLR port which is not on any motherboard.

no, you need phantom power for a condenser mic. the computer does not provide that. The cable is made for dynamic mics.

The XLR microphone connector is for Analog [non computer] use, where you connect the mike to an amplifier and speakers. To connect an XLR-pin mike to a computer you need an XLR-to-USB connector or interface. Anything that is USB has to do with a computer. [USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.] This Shure mike came out before the computer era began, which was in the mid 80s - hence it is an XLR mike. Shure has come out with an excellent XLR-to-USB connector called - X2U. It is about $90-$99 on Amazon. You can buy the SM58 with the X2U for $199 on Amazon. XLR mikes need Phantom Power, which is provided by the X2U interface. It is not just an ordinary XLR-to-USB connection Cord. The SM58 (and SM57) is a DYNAMIC microphone, not a Condenser microphone. Just Google - Differences between Dynamic and Condenser microphones. Or - Which is Best - Dynamic or Condenser Microphones? The choice depends entirely upon your particular Mode Of Use. Most importantly, go through all the customer reviews on Amazon. On YouTube there are videos that demo this mike as well as other mikes. Check them out. Your Knowledge Base will increase considerably. Hope this helps.

No. This mic is a professional condenser mic and requires 48v phantom power on an XLR connector. If you want to use this mic with a comptuer, the best way is with an interface like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00154KSA2 or instead, you can just us a good USB mic like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5ZX9FM

Yes the can,any mixer that has xlr 3 pin inputs can use these microphones and once you get your levels adjusted they are ready to go.If for some reason your mixer doesn't have xlr inputs, you can get audio converters ie: xlr to phono,etc,however a mixer with xlr inputs is ideal.Make sure that both are set on different MHz numbers and you will be set.From Victor SieffVS Video ProductionsDenver

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

with the help of a XLR to USB adapter. check for the Blue Icicle. it has a built in preamp

Yes. You will have to connect it through a pre-amp to your recording device.

Yes you can because this devise is only to power condenser mic. You will need an XLR to mini plug 3.5 cable to connect the behringer power supply to your PC. Although I dont know if you will get the must of your mic because usually condenser mics are professional and the pc input it is not. Hope this help.

You just need phamtom power (48V) on you preamp or mixer. This is a condenser mic with a nice and soft sound in my opinion.

Sorry but I do not have any experience with condenser mics but I used JML2 plugged into mixer effect loop. Also used it with SM57 recording percussion and it worked fine.

This is an excellent microphone kit but you do need a pre amp for phantom power a focusrite will work to connect the mic to your computer the mic is a professional level microphone using XLR cables

Yes, this should work for audio as long as your DVR has the proper audio input. I use a similar setup on a swann d1 8 cam DVR. No preamp needed, excellent audio. You can add a longer cable in which case you MAY need the preamp.

I never use it with my condenser microphones going directly into the QuadCapture (I mike into a pre-amp first) but I just tried it with one of my condenser microphones and it seemed to work fine. I don't have a "CAD" condenser microphone but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

No, you can not connect this loudspeaker directly to a microphone. The speaker does have XLR connectors on the back, which are indeed the sameas those on microphones. However the electronics at the input of the loudspeaker does not match. - For condenser microphones you need 48 V phantom power. Phantom power is not provided by this connector. - A dynamic microphone may work, albeit very soft. You really will need a microphone pre-amplifier.

If the Microphone needs phantom power of 48vdc to run the microphone this will not work. Also impendence is part of the answer as well. If the microphone is high impedance going into a low impedance input you may get an in accurate match for frequency response. This would sound tinny or very low volume. You may have to get preamp or cheap mixer to put between the microphone and your recording device that has phantom power. This is a less than 100.00 fix that will give you the best flexibility as well as keep the noise level down that could come from having to turn your input source up to much. Also looking at other comment if Blue Yeti is USB this would not work. If the Microphone needs phantom power of 48vdc to run the microphone this will not work.
