Is there a way to connect a wire with a microphone, for playing on-line video games? Are there any recommended or would any such wire do the job?

I don't think so. I've looked at the specs and there is nothing about connecting the headset to a microphone. Simple to connect to most players for listening, but it sounds like you need a different kind of equipment. A quick search of Amazon brings up several specific sets for XBOX and Play Station. Try searching for "stereo headset with microphone" or "gaming headset" -- that should net surefire results.

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

Any sound card with XLR outputs would work but like myself, I'm going into a mixer from my computer then into these from the main out of the mixer. Hope this helps, enjoy!

If it has a standard headphone jack it should work, if you need a special jack you would need a converter of some kind, but if you use that, the mic may not work. If they work they'll give you some boss sound for gaming tho.

I used mine for a PS3 connection. It does not provide sound though and I had to use a different cable for that

Yeah. It's good about that. However, I would suggest not getting this one. Mine crapped out after just four months. It may have ben that I was bending it up every which way a lot, and perhaps that messed up the wires. Just be forewarned: It may not last long, and you want to avoid bending the mic arm as much as possible.

If you don't have Optical Out on your PC, you cant connect the Mixer to the using Analog out, only through USB. Although it did have mini PL cable to connect MIC and Sound to (i don't know how it's called) mini PL with 4 wires, it didn't had the same cable to connect it to the Mixer.So basically another "Astro Console Cable" (even with out the mute Mic button) would be nice, if you don't have Optical Out.

The best method would be to use a audio interface box. There are many different models but you could get a descent USB 2.0 one for under a $100.00. Typically they come with mic preams built into the box so you would not have to worry about getting a preamplifier to boost your microphone signal up to a line level. If you went direct you would at least have to use an adapter from XLR male to 1/4 or 1/8 male so it could be plugged directly into your computer motherboard. But you might have a problem with microphone amplification as well as possibly noise from a low mic signal. Hope this helps!

I also remembered another possibility for you, if you want to make use of items which you already have: The RCDW500C can be played through either a stereo television or a computer with speakers, if the component has an input jack. Your computer probably offers you the preference option (in "Control Panel") to use the MIC input as a LINE input instead. Even if you don't find this option, I expect that the MIC jack will work anyway; if you find it to be too loud like this, then it's possible to find an "attenuating" cable which will reduce the signal by a few decibels.

No experience trying that. But in general I would think in bad idea to do this with an acoustic link (that is, putting a mic in front of a speaker). Much better to find --if you can-- some electrical output, such as an earphone jack or extension speaker terminal.

Antony: this is an analog device, and does not include any cable. If you want to connect it to a computer you´ll need a sound card. If you want a performance grade microphone with USB conncectivity I suggest the Shure PG-27 USB Shure PG27-USB Multi Purpose Microphone Good luck

Any XLR cable will pass phantom power but the cable doesn't produce it. You have to use an audio interface that features phantom power and then turn it on with a switch. Most interfaces have it but some do not so be careful. Using the shortest possible (and best) cable is still a good idea. Enjoy the mic, it's a keeper for our studio.

This can plug directly into the board or snake. The XLR adapter is powered properly for the mic off of the phantom power that the board supplies.

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways.Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

I used this about 2 years ago and from what I remember I needed to connect 2 XLR mics to a stereo camcorder mic input. This is the the not the "correct" way to do this properly. The "proper" solution is more complicated and much more expensive. XLR mics are "Balanced" mics and in theory when used properly they minimize or eliminate the unwanted 60 Hz hum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You can plug in a microphone and something for audio. Like pc headphones. I'm currently using my pc headphones in my ps3. Hope that answers that for ya.

You nede an audio interface that will turn your analog mic signal into digita so you're computer will recognize itl. A low-cost interface, which does a decent job, is the Lexicon Alpha (which is the one I use). It cost around $55 and you can get it on Amazon. It doesn't have phantom power (which you need if your using a condenser mic) but that's OK, because the dbx has it. Keep in mind that both units have preamps, so you'll have to watch your levels. Anyway, you'll plug your mic cord (xlr) into the dbx, and from the dbx output, you'll go into the Lexicon input (you'll need a cord with a 1/4" male plug on both ends). I realize that a lot of folks use more expensive units, but if you've got the dbx, you don't need anything other than the Lexicon. Also -- The Lexicon has only one mic input, so if you're doing anything more than simple voiceovers, you'll also need a small mixer (and be careful in choosing one...Berringers have an bad hiss...stick with Mackie and you'll be OK).
