What usb audio interface would go well with this mic?

I haven't got an interface yet, but plan on doing so this summer. There is a forum with a lot of info on these type of topics called Gearslutz. Here is a link to a thread on the M179 and interfaces: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/778381-focusrite-scarlett-2i2-cad-m179-performance.html

You need a computer and a software. Then, you plug your mic to the unit and the USB interface cable to the computer. Good luck!

I would suggest that you connect this mic to any amplifier that has a mic in-put and an USB output which most units have these days. This mic does need a pre-amplifier circuit to amplify the faintest signals, and such pre-amplifier circuits are present in all amplifiers that have a mic input. This Mic also has a 'Balanced' (three-line) RCA cable connection for optimum sound-free performance such as the very annoying 'Hizz' or 'humming'.

Sorry, this is not a USB mic, so as long as you have an adapter i imagine you can make it as long as you want. But to clarify, this microphone, or at least mine, is not set up with a usb interface.

You need to use a USB or FireWire audio interface. I use and like the Presonus AudioBox 22VSL. Plug your mic XLR into the DBX and then run the DBX out into one of the AudioBox inputs with a good cable.

I don't know--the quality wasn't very good so I returned it. I suppose I should have written a review. I had bought three different mikes, and the one we liked the best was the MXL AC404 USB Conference Microphone. It's not being used on a PC, though--it is plugging into a Cisco desk phone.

I wont say yes, the software is basic.. and what your asking for is not impossiable. The Mic is very good, and since it's uSB, if you were to fill all your USB ports, I don't see why not.

you will need a usb audio interface. the at4040 is one of the biggest condensers in its price range. you probably wont appreciate it until you use a lot of other mics. the top end it a tad flat but with some placement techniques you will have a hard time finding a better mic. it has a ton of presence to it in comparison to the at2020 usb. make sure you use eq and a compressor with whatever mic you get. the at4040 is a great mic though. one of the few worth the money in its price range.

You need: 1. An interface (sometimes called a soundcard) you can plug the mic cable into and then goes into a Mac USB port. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a good one ($125 to $150 new). 2. Recording software (Audacity is free, Reaper is $60, Twisted Wave is $79). 3. The XLR mic cable mentioned above. Any of the above will give you excellent sound quality.

The Behringer UC202 is an excellent option for sound through USB, it also allows you to plug in external recording devices (cassettes, record players, etc) that have RCA cords and convert to digital audio files

You're going to want an interface as others have said. My setup is Mic -> XLR -> Cloudlifter single channel -> XLR -> DBX 286s -> Line out with 1/4" jack -> Line in 3 of my Scarlett 6i6. Just to let you know, as it stands right now WDM doesn't pick up Scarlett mix's signal as input 1, so only ASIO drivers with software like Ableton Live will detect (or allow you to select) the third line in signal. That means if you're doing live audio, you're currently buggered. However, as I contacted Focusrite on this, they said they're going to be rolling out a patch to deal with this problem.Hope that helps! You're going to want an interface as others have said.

You will need an external soundcard. The more ports you need the more expensive though. I would look into something like the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra High-Speed 8x8 USB 2.0 Interface if you can shell out the price.

They make similar looking mics that are made to connevt directly to usb and come with built in table stands...look for one of those, this won't be what you're looking for.

I brought it for my grandsons with an Behringer 302USB Premium 5-Input Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamp and USB/Audio Interface for $49 they say it works but they can't download the software to do the mixing personally I read an answer to this question that makes more sense --return it and buy a snowball usb mike. I goggled it and it is cheaper and seems less complicated to use and set up-- http://bluemic.com/snowball/

USB converter works perfectly fine with this microphone. Computer recognized the external mic.

Use an audio interface. I use the focusrite scarlett 2X2 which I ordered from Amazon. There are many others though.
