Can I use XLR Male to RCA cable to connect it my home theather. If possible, where the mic will get power from, is there a battery?

You need to go through some kind of pre-amp. Even an inexpensive PA mixer will do.

There is no batt. in mic. If your home theather amp has Mic. input use it, if not you would need another power sourse, To be honest it probably would not sound very good even if home theather has mic. input!!! The GLS Mic. is a great microphone choice though,, Pa amp or powered mixer would be your best choice....

Hi Kristina, It really depends on your microphone and computer setup. A lot of XLR microphones require "phantom" power, which means that the source powers the microphone. Unless you have a source that can output power, then the mic won't work. Most computer inputs are just basic inputs. They can't supply power. I currently use a Shure 57 mic and I found this cable to work great with it. http://www.amazon.com/HDE%C2%AE-Female-Cable-Instruments-Microphones/dp/B0050CEEIW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386034982&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+to+xlr The USB can supply the right power to an XLR mic. Hope this helps.

You don't need a special cable. When you plug in the XLR to the board, as long as phantom power is being sent from the board it will power the unit. Note that plugging in the 1/4 inch guitar input turns power on if battery operated. So if you do use a battery, don't leave the guitar cable plugged in when not using the unit.

No such cable that I know of does that, John. A regular XLR line (of fair to good quality, i.e, not from Radio Shack or someplace similar) will do, your 48v phantom power should be applied from your mic pre or interface to computer.

I remember it is RCA plug, it would be easier if you use a female to female coupling(around $2 @ RadioShack) then you connect a longer RCA cable and see if it works. I returned my unit after one week because of loud hum when microphone is plugged in.

You will need an external audio device with an XLR input and phantom power. This is a standard microphone with a standard XLR connector, no USB connection.

It's an "electret condenser" mic, which means it uses an internal battery and at much lower voltage than you'd get through phantom powering. That doesn't mean the audio quality is any less. But yes, it does lack an XLR output, and the output is unbalanced stereo on a mini plug.

I went to Radio Shack and bought a 1/8 plug to 1/4 plug adapter to put on the mic cord. Then I bought a model 274-017 XLR balanced adapter to plug it into a 3 prong mic port. Since the Audio-Technica system comes with a battery/preamp, you don't need a direct box. I plugged the mini adapter into the back of the balanced adapter and the whole thing into the mic port on my Fender amp system. Works like a charm and was suggested by my buddy who runs a recording studio. Just remember to turn the mic off when you're not using it so you don't run down the battery. You'll get very little sound out of it otherwise if the battery is dead. If your system has phantom power, it may work without the battery, haven't tried that yet. Probably spent about $20 total on the two adapters. Good luck! Kerry

This microphone requires 48 volt phantom power. If you want to use it with your PC you will need a icicle (or a microphone preamp that has phantom power). You will also need a Female XLR to USB adapter cable if you plan on using a preamp. You will not need the adapter cable if you use the Icicle since the Icicle has the Female XLR and USB connectors on it. I have used both methods and both work equally well.

Nope. Most mics don't come with a cable. You need an XLR cable the ones with the 3 plugs, it will allow you to provide phantom power to the mic.

you could connect anything you want to it via RCA input on the back side of it as long as you monitor the signal going in so it doesn't overload. the peak indicator will light up red if the signal is peaking. just get the converter for the type of cable you are using and everything should work just fine. i would not suggest using microphone jack to connect anything but the microphone to it. hope this helps you. cheers

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

I have a big can with XLR inputs. it is easy to get an adapter for it. what kind of input socket does your cam have? if its a 1/8' or 1/4' you should not need an adapter.also make sure your battery is fresh every time you use it. it has good sound and a long cord. I find it very handy.

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

You need XLR female to dual XLR male Y cable. Try Hosa YXM 121. Heads up though, It probably won't work either.

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.

I bought this a few months ago but have so far not been able to connect as it has no RCA connections. Should get XLR cables soon, so if you are not in a hurry, I can give you some feed back shortly (next 2 weeks)
