additional equipment needed? What do you need to use this mic as a usb. ?

You can do this two ways. Get this and use a pre with a digital interface to send to usb. I use the ART Dual Tube Pre which sounds nicer than anything else anywhere near the price, especially since this is for voc work 95% of the time, and just project music stuff otherwise. The other approach, if you aren't ever going to interview or do any dual mic recording (which is part of the other 5% for me), is to buy the "same" thing from Rode as the PODCASTER which has an A2D to USB output with far better sampling than voc work needs and has a little headphone monitoring output, too. It's made for high-quality podcasting and decent, let's say, more than serviceable voc work for basic tasks. You would want to go with separates to do voicing for a major studio film or major agency ad, but for telephone voc work (on hold, directory, etc), the Podcaster is more than good enough, and certainly for primarily AM work and pretty much anything online except full bandwidth and rate MP3s. I already owned the ART Dual Tube Pre, so I didn't need any electronics in the mic. I prefer the look of the Procaster, too. Make sure you use a shock mount. It picks up LF mechanical/handling noise easily like any large diaphragm mic will.

there is no USB port but there is an additional port for using the headset for PC. and there is no separate wire for the mic.

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.

You will need an amplification system of some sort depending on your usage. You will also need 4 xlr cables if you intend to control each mic separately from a sound mixing board. I will be happy to advise further if you provide me with more information on how you plan to use the system.

Antony: this is an analog device, and does not include any cable. If you want to connect it to a computer you´ll need a sound card. If you want a performance grade microphone with USB conncectivity I suggest the Shure PG-27 USB Shure PG27-USB Multi Purpose Microphone Good luck

I would suggest an audio interface. Presonus, Apogee, Focusrite, and others make great interfaces that will allow you to hook up the mic to the computer. I would suggest a pop filter with the mic and using phantom power for a condenser mic. Depending on what you want to do, having DAW software will take you one step further.

It's not a USB mic and therefore you need a standard mic cable. This you run into a preamp OR some device that WOULD spit out a USB signal on the other end. It may be cheaper to get some converter like that but if your sound card takes a mic cable, you're set. Most don't. Since you do have USB (I assume) i'd look for a converter device.

See bro, the mic needs a micro 3D USB input, it allows it to be compatible with all laptops. Tho it is compatible with a desk top at anytime. This sound USB drive can be bought here on amazon for a low prize of $10 or less.

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

No, not unless you have/buy a USB Microphone that is built for it. And buying the USB converter doesn't work either

Hi Laura,The mic rquires an XLR-to-XLR cable. If you want to go into a USB port, you would need something like the MicPort Pro (which I have an highly recommend). Harlan's site carries that as well.Hope that helps!Fred

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.

I believe rode sells a boom pole for this mic. You will need an extension cable as well to plug it in.

You need a XLR to USB adapter, but I don't recommend using this mic for a computer.You are better off with a Blue Yeti mic: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone - Silver

Buy a usb audio jack with mic input and speaker out jack . 10 or 15 dollars and you will be set.

With this, you can use a mic that has an xlr port by simply inserting the Blue Icicle to the microphone. Once that is done you just plug in the usb cable into your PC, let it install, and if needed; setup with the program you wish to use.After that you should be good. Hope this answers your question. Unless you mean record audio to a USB thumb drive, then I doubt it.

You need a regular mic cable (xlr ends). It connects the output of one into the input of another.
