I want to connect my Excelvan BM-800 Mic (needs phantom power) to this Behringer PS400 via an XLR-3.5mm cable to my Mac's 3.5mm mic in. Possible?

I don't know why that would not work. It is simply a power supply (phantom) for the mic.

The suggestion sounds workable providing the BM-800 matches the power provided from the PS400.

As the Behringer product manual clearly states... XLR inputs AND outputs are utilized. A cable with XLR to 3.5mm plug will hook you up to a Mac computer. Whatever connector is required by the mic should have an XLR connector to the Behringer.

Hi there. You can do that if you use Behringer as an input device for the microphone and as an output device for your computer. Then the audio should go to your receiver via hdmi from your computer.

You will need to purchase a USB adapter. Most recent Macs have a 3.5mm line level input, but the mic will not work without an amplifier or phantom power. The G430 has the adapter included. You can purchase the G430's adapter on an auction site. It will allow you to use the G230 with a USB port.

XLR connection with 48v phantom power. Either thru a pre amp or a mixer or interface with phantom power. Can't find anything on a usb capability. Hope this helps.

No, on the top it's a 6.3mm (big audio plug) and an XLR (3 pin) for your microphone. What are you using it for? I recommend a USB audio interface; I have one by Behringer and use it with my mixer for studio / singing. Like $30. Or not you can just plug the audio from this preamp to your PC and use a USB sound card if you don't have one. ;) Peace.

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.

Yes you can but you should get a Behringer microphone PP400 you can order it on amazon

only if it has onboard power. I use this cable with a microphone that has a 9volt battery inside it ! works perfectly but the mac does NOT provide phantom power. If your mic requires phantom power this cable will not work. You will need a mix board, there are some inexpensive ones for around $100 that will work.

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

One possible way would be to purchase XLR splitters. Send one signal straight into the Behringer, and the other into your amp for your passives.

This will work fine if all you need is a power supply. BEHRINGER MICROPOWER PS400

You might have to get special drivers. What I would do is look online for the drivers for this mic, if the drivers are available for the mac you have than it is completely safe to use. If not than you would be taking a risk with the product.

Yes via the mic in (if the unit has phantom power) You can ask behringer on twitter @BEHRINGER you need a decent quality mic cable I recommend the GLS XLR Mic cables GLS Audio 25 foot Mic Cable Patch Cords - XLR Male to XLR Female Black Microphone Cables - 25' Balanced Mic Snake Cord - Single I own four of these and swear by them

Yes it's standard xlr and it requires 48 volt phantom power I recommend the behringer 802 to go with this mic

I went to Radio Shack and bought a 1/8 plug to 1/4 plug adapter to put on the mic cord. Then I bought a model 274-017 XLR balanced adapter to plug it into a 3 prong mic port. Since the Audio-Technica system comes with a battery/preamp, you don't need a direct box. I plugged the mini adapter into the back of the balanced adapter and the whole thing into the mic port on my Fender amp system. Works like a charm and was suggested by my buddy who runs a recording studio. Just remember to turn the mic off when you're not using it so you don't run down the battery. You'll get very little sound out of it otherwise if the battery is dead. If your system has phantom power, it may work without the battery, haven't tried that yet. Probably spent about $20 total on the two adapters. Good luck! Kerry

Even though it is a condenser microphone in which all condenser mics usually need phantom power (+48v) no, not this one because I'm assuming that you're going to be running the microphone on a strong enough power source such as a modern windows computer (2006 and up) or on MAC which is without a doubt powerful enough. I've used this microphone back in 2011 on a eMachines T5226 desktop computer which was built in late 2007 and it worked great for my small-room (Home Recording Studio). GO! for it. But if you want a bit of better quality/frequency response...GO! for the MXL 770 or MXL 990.
