What is a good cheap way to connect this mic directly to a computer (Win7)? Need to know cables, pre-amps, etc.

I'm sorry I don't know I use it into a camera. Great shotgun for the price though.

the cheapest way would be to buy a battery place it in the mic then plug into your mic input you may need an adapter to fit into the input on your sound card, but what are you recording?

Okay for this type of microphone, you're going to need cables first off as this doesn't come with them. You'll need one standard mic midi cable. And then you'll need a midi to usb cable as well. After that the only other thing you'll need is a phantom power supplier. They're relatively cheap and they power up the mic so you get optimal performance.

Hey Keith, Sure. Plug it into your system using a USB cable and then make sure it's selected as your systems mic in webex and you'll be good. I actually use Adobe Connect but they are very similar. Works well for a group around a table or the like. The biggest mistake you can make is plugging it into your computer but then not selecting it as the active mic. Cheers.

With this microphone, you will need an audio interface to enable a hook-up to your computer. The audio interface, like a USB mixer, will enable you to plug in the XLR connector from the mic into the mixer and then output the signal to your computer via a USB cable. I would suggest purchasing a USB microphone which will plug directly into your laptop or desktop. The Blue USB microphone was on sale at Amazon for $50 a few days ago. The AT-2020 is also a good choice. You'll then need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in order to edit, enhance, save your work. There are free DAWs like Audacity and others that you can purchase. I narrate books for Audible.com and used the AT2020 for narrating a number of books with good results. There are better choices for a dynamic microphone than this PG48. I purchased this mic earlier this year and found it to be very "tinny"--not full bodied. I returned the mic for a refund.

You're best bet is to get an XLR mic and an XLR - 1/4" adapter. I did a short search for USB - 1/4" adapter and only found the opposite...

Just plug it in into the mike symbol on your computer. I had to turn the volume way up in order to hear what was being recorded.

Buy a usb audio jack with mic input and speaker out jack . 10 or 15 dollars and you will be set.

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.

You can get a midi to usb cable to do the trick. I have a TASCAM unit that I run my keyboard and mic thru though, because my mic needs phantom power. It came with the cable needed to connect to the PC. The biggest difference would be the price and what, if any other needs you may have.

This mic requires a power supply, in between the mic and the input for the computer. You will need a preamp or a mixer with phantom power. You can find several different types on amazon, ebay, etc. You would plug your mic into the preamp/power supply, then run a connection from the preamp to your computer. Some preamps give you the option of either running the output via a standard mini jack into the mic input on your laptop OR via a USB port, depending on the design of your preamp/mixer.

I would suggest an audio interface. Presonus, Apogee, Focusrite, and others make great interfaces that will allow you to hook up the mic to the computer. I would suggest a pop filter with the mic and using phantom power for a condenser mic. Depending on what you want to do, having DAW software will take you one step further.

I would expect you could connect the Pyle mic to a PC. The mic has an unbalanced 2 conductor 1/4"plug. You will need a converter plug or cable to a 1/8" plug to go into the computer. The computer may be 2 channel in stereo, but the mic is mono, so you may have to work around that issue too.

If you have misplaced your operator's manual you can download one here:http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/resource_library/literature/0fb01429606842cf/at_pl50_om.pdfAs for setting it up, CQ is right just use the RCA adapter to you computer's mic input. You may want to have a good program like "Audacity" to oversee your recording. It's still a free download I believe, or there are others that will work. Good Luck.

If you want to go direct into the computer you'll get better results w/ a USB mic. Otherwise, as others have noted, you will need both adapters and some sort of pre-amplification. For the price of all that you can get a good USB mic that will go direct into the computer.

call Shure tech support. They are very qualified. If you have only the mic iteself, which is not the item you've asked about, I think you'll learn that the mic needs 5 VDC bias current, which the preamp provides, if you have the preamp model, which this item is. The preamp terminates in a male XLR, which itself requires phantom power. You can purchase the mic itself, without the preamp, which is designed to be used with Shure body packs. You may also find that Shure makes lav mics which work with other manufacturers, avaiable on the usual mail order supply companies, which I can't name here. You probably know which ones to which I refer. call Shure tech support. They are very qualified.

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
