What is a good amplifier for this microphone?
1111132
I have only run mine through a Behringer PMP 2000 (Europower 800 Watt PA system). The microphone stays true and clean no matter how loud I get; it's sensitive enough to pick up softer tones when used. What you use it for will dictate what size amp to utilize, because the mic itself won't distort or adulterate what it picks up without external interference. If you run it through an 8 watt amplifier and use it for full force growling or screaming (my version of these vocals anyway), the truth to your efforts won't carry as well as perhaps a 100 Watt. You just have to decide how loud you would like to be and purchase accordingly.

Thanks so much. Do you think the BEHRINGER ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 will work? I am looking to spend a little less.

I personally use a Behringer 400 watt power amp and you'll want to cross them over from 150HZ.

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!

Only if you want the audio to have all sorts of buzz and noise on it... For the cheapest available "acceptable" quality (for casual use) interface, I would suggest the Behringer UCA202. It's not great, but at least it's relatively clean-sounding, especially compared to this.

If you want to spend a little more money for higher quality audio - I have this setup and it works great: a small high quality Audio-Technica stereo mic: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016ARZ9C/ with an excellent mounting bracket http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000065Q6B/

I was thinking of using this microphone for something else. What type or size of plug in does it have?

Page 3 in the pdf manual would be a good start - download from here -> http://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PQA3100/19-Rack-Mount-3100-Watt-Professional-Power-Amplifier-with-SpeakON,-Speaker-Terminal-Binding-Posts,-14-Connector-Outputs-and-RCA-and-14-Connector-InputsIt has a good explanation on page 3.Microphones require a preamp or mixer in between.You need to get one of those ;-)

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...

It may not be optimal, but you could craft a combo of converter plugs and put it in the computer's mic or input jack. I've done something similar before, and if you aren't looking for perfect audiophile quality it should be fine.

The cheapest amp possible will work fine. It is only activated by current to vibrate. Sound quality isn't important. Just have the proper amperage and a crossover.

Yes, you will need an amplifier. I plug the wireless microphone unit into a mixer which I then plug into my stereo amp

You don't want to use the line input for the Mic, you should use either a 1/4 inch or XLR input

There is a "aux in" plug in the back so seems like any plug in mic should work.

This is not intended to be a professional quality mic. The AT2020-USB+ would be a much better choice.

Your going to need some more gear. This is a "Pro" style mic, with an XLR connector on it, and it want 48 volts (or there about) to power it.Look for a small mixer with Phantom power. There are lots out there in the $100 or less category. You'll like having the mixer for a lot of uses.

Yes, you do need some sort of device to air and amplify the sound from the microphone. Most amplifiers should be able to handle the volts coming from this microphone, however, if you have a few microphones and you link it up to one amp, it may not be sufficient.
