I got a question. I got a Mono Microphone using XLR. My goal is to connect the mic to my laptop and record using Audition. Will this Adapter work?

This adapter should work since it splits the audio source into stereo. The only thing is now in audition it will only pick up either a left or right input signal (to fix just switch inputs to mono in audition) Hope this helps

I think so. I purchased one of these several years ago because I had to make an audition tape and the signal coming from the mic was too weak. I was able to make the recording by using this device. It seems strange that your mic has a 1/4" output as most mics have an XLR output.

Ya man, Use adapters if you can't find a patch cable that goes from 3mm to 1/4". The trick is to make sure both are in stereo or mono. I run my laptop into a multi band equalizer/pre amp and then to mixer or amp.

Don't know, haven't used it in that capacity. If the Dragon mic requires a true stereo input, it probably won't work because the usb adapter is mono and puts the same signal in the left and right inputs.

You should. Though I haven't tried it I don't see why you couldn't run one mic into the xlr input and run another into the 1/4. But make sure you use phantom power. Great question though. I'll have to try it out myself

Yes, from the spec: "MIC - Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via the XLR connector and also features switchable +48/+15 V phantom power supply for condenser microphones".

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better.

Should work if you use the Microphone jack on computer rather than USB port. But because your mic jack on computer is not balanced, you would need an XLR to 1/8 adapter, making sure to use pins 1 and 2 and ignoring pin 3 on XLR. These adapters are available here.

If the receiver has a 1/8 mic jack, then theoretically it will work. I do not recommend it because you will experience signal degradation when using this product. IE, the mic will be super quiet, as it is underpowered. You will need a pre-amp or sound board, which will convert from XLR input to 1/4 output, while also giving the mic enough power to pick up sounds properly. 1/4 cords can have 1/4 at one end and 1\8 at the other, which will still maintain a good signal. You're best bet would be converting the XLR over a pre-amp or soundboard into a USB (or FireWire) output, which should plug into the receiver, or a computer. Bottom line though, is this converter sucks, and will not serve your needs.

Yes. It should work with portable audio recorders just fine. You probably need an adapter though. Good luck with it.

Hello: I'm using this adapter for a completely different application, i.e. transcription pedal. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you...

This works with a xlr cable you need a usb. This mic uses power supplied thru cable... just a guess..no

Yes, Stereo out of headphone jack on laptop to Mono xlr."great for connecting the stereo output of portable CD Player, Walkman, Camcorder, etc., to a single XLR line input on a mixing console.Sums Left and Right Stereo signals to a single mono feed."

Microphones are mono and usually only work on one channel. What amplifier are you connecting it to?

If you use a conversion box, yes. This specific model uses an XLR interface because it requires phantom power (three prong, cylindrical shape). You can spend about $100 on a usb conversion box and use this model. I Use an AKAI professional ($250+) which can handle up to 4 mics and 4 outputs ALONG WITH the usb cable. All that said, you can bypass the whole thing and buy an "AT2020 USB". It hooks directly up to the laptop and there's no other equipment to buy. Warning: If you use an AT2020 USB, it will eat up your battery life, you NEED to have your machine plugged in to use it for a long duration. Reason is: the mic takes about 40 volts of power and audio recording and engineering is a processor intensive task (more CPU work = more power being consumed), it also takes a lot of memory so your HDD will be running non stop. If you're using this for fun, get the USB and save the money. If you're looking to get into more serious work, use the XLR as it's compatible with more high end equipment.

I don't know. But it works with my rode video mic pro. If I want to connect it to a xlr input

You dont need the XLR adapter. You can always buy one later. I just bought one for $77.00. I advise recording your sound to a SEPARATE digital recorder, then synching it up in post later. Dont depend on the camera to record your sound. For quick interviews, use a wired lapel to camera. Shotgun on top of camera is OK for a general recording. Another option is a XLR to miniplug adapter for about $12.00, then use any decent XLR microphone. If you are doing the important documentary, I would surely record separate sound. Then synch in post Several options there for you. Good luck
