Can someone point me in the right direction? If I wanted to hook this up to my computer to record, what cables will I need?

Sorry, but I can't help you. I bought this for my grandson and he only uses it to play music and hasn't tried to record or interface with a computer.

Well if you just want to record the audio of what your playing then the simplest way would be to use a 3.5mm cable into a microphone jack on your computer. http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B004LTEUDO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398041305&sr=8-1&keywords=3.5mm+cable If you want to use the MIDI features of the keyboard you would need to use a cable like this: http://www.amazon.com/CREATIVE-EMU-XMIDI-MIDI-Interface/dp/B000JLU26W/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1398041405&sr=1-3&keywords=usb+midi In either case you will also need the appropriate software on your pc to accomplish what you want. I think windows may actually have a recorder built in if you go with the 3.5mm cable to record audio file.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

You need a audio interface for that check the link Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Audio Interface

Yes, with two caveats: The output side (which does not provide power) is still XLR and needs some method of conversion (either Blue's Icicle, or an XLR to USB cable or a mixer with XLR input and USB-out or line-out to go to your computer's input). I use this with an XLR-USB cable (Mic -&gt; Mic Input, Mic Thru -&gt; XLR-USB cable -&gt; computer) and while I lose out on perfect monitoring, it records beautifully and introduces no hum on 48V phantom power. If you have a good line-in on your sound card in your computer you would probably be better off with a mixer that provides 48V phantom power and a line-out.

I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and record using software like Audacity. I presume you could plug it into any recording device with a microphone jack.

You'll need an analog-to-digital converter, which opens a whole can of worms. You can get something as simple as a XLR to USB cable adapter to a high-definition FireWire, Thunderbolt, or USB 16 channel converter. For a beginner, I'd recommend a two channel A/D converter which includes free recording/editing software, of which there are many. A little bit of further research should yield a number of great options by companies like Avid, Presonus, Focusrite, M-Audio, etc.... Good luck!

Nope, you'll need an external audio interface for input into a computer. Also the audio interface will need to have phantom power (+40v); BUT audio texhnica does make straigh usb input mics so google them :)

There is an XLR version (connect to computer via audio interface), and a USB version, connect directly to the computer. Based on how you are going to use it, I highly recommend the XLR version. Pick up a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, a good mike cable and mic stand all for around $300, (new)-- you'll be very happy with the results!

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 bought a 3.5mm minijack extender (8') and an RCA to 3.5mm minijack adapter from Radio Shack and have it plugged into my Macbook while recording (and monitoring) with Audacity. This works well for my purposes. :)

Candy, No. It doesn't connect directly to your computer. It uses a standard XLR type connector and requires a mixer. I would suggest this low cost USB mic: http://goo.gl/A52TfW I have two and I love them. They can use USB/direct to computer AND XLR direct to a mixer. Very high quality for the money.

Cynthia, your PC should have two mini jacks, one for a mic and the other for a headset. plug it into the mic jack. The next challenge is figuring out how to get it to work. If you are using a MAC, I can't help, but ig you are using a PC running any version of Windows you may have to go to the speaker symbol on the task bar in the far right side on my systems, right click and open recording devices. To record you may want to load Audacity, a free sound audio recording/editor. My mic had a touchy on/off switch, but it works fine now. The Sound controls are also available in the Control Panel. Good luck. I live mine.

I reviewed the recording instructions and it states this unit will not record from an analog cable box. Cable is listed as an input option though.

Richard, The microphones are not wireless. You would need to order cables dependent on the length you need for your application. Respectfully, Merry

You need something that supplies the mic with Phantom Power and connects to your PC via USB. I would use something like a "MXL MICMATE PRO XLR To USB Preamp with gain". Then, you need a PC with a sound card that can handle the quality you require and an internet connection that can broadcast (upload) the amount of kbps you are wanting to send. Good Luck and happy recording!

Use a FireWire cable. Plug it into your computer and use a program like iMovie to capture the footage.

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