Can I use this to connect a professional mic to a laptop through a soundcard: "Creative Sound Blaster Omni". I mean would soundcard work as a preamp?

Does the mic need phantom (external) power? If not, then if you hooked it up as a mic, (in contrast to aux input) it should work fine.

I would think that would sure be a possibility. All it is is a conversion cable. I use mine to do just that going into a mixer or directly to my DSLR.

I'm pretty sure you can...I'm using this exact same card to connect my PreSonus FireStudio to my desktop and it works flawlessly. Installation's a breeze, too; I'm not very technologically minded at all and I figured it out in about 10 minutes.

Yes, the Mic will work fine with that microphone. This is a great little amp for use by a solo artist, i.e, acoustic guitar/vocals for a small venue like a coffee house (like I've done). For bigger venues, you can use the loudbox as a stage monitor, then feed out the back XLR to the main sound board.

Technically yes, but the sound level may be too low for it to be useful. On my laptop, the Realtek audio chipset isn't powerful enough for it. I use a USB sound card (Creative X-Fi Go! Pro) that does a decent job of powering it. Condenser microphones like this use capacitors to detect sound waves, and so require a voltage to actively be place across it and for this specific one, built in laptop audio chipsets tend to not provide enough voltage even on maximum sensitivity, it may be a different story on desktops, but I haven't tried. If you are worried, Sony also sells a similar model with an inline battery pack that should work nicely and contrary to the Amazon description, this model does not have one, and is not compatible with any Sony battery pack. I would personally recommend a USB microphone or one of the $1 ones since they are easier to power, but may not give the clearest recordings.

Unfortunately you will not be able to use that particular type of card slot for the audio card. However, if your computer does not have an express card slot, then you can go with either a USB sound card, or purchase an adapter that would be express card to USB.

If your laptop has a stereo 1/8" mic input, the mic should work with it. The audio quality of the mic is OK for the price, and adequate for voice (pod casts), but don't expect it to be "pro" quality, especially for music. The mic preamplifiers in your laptop will also have some influence on the audio quality. Generally speaking, most computers don't have great preamps, so they contribute a bit of background noise to the audio.

This preamp is strictly for MM cartridge turntables. The mic you bought requires a MIC preamp with XLR input connectors and phantom power. See the Wikis for these terms if they are unfamiliar. The Amazon listing for this mic claims it can be plugged directly into a computer sound card mic input; this seems unlikely...

The sound blaster card that I have has 3 line out ports for your speakers & 1 line in for your microphone. I hope this helps you.

I did try it, because I don't have the mic. You can check by search internet. I can say it, the sound very good. 10 time better the old soundblaster card. Very close the sound card omega claro xt

Im no expert but this does have a mic input that you can use, I use it and it worked out fine once I figured out how to connect everything...what helped me was I did a search for this model to find out the how's and what's-- it would be capable of. They also have a website which if you google the model you can find loads of info that will be helpful, thats how I did my research, good luck hope my answer helped you out

Yes, the Sound Blaster X-Fi HD needs to be connected to a USB port of your laptop for power and installation. The microphone jack is a 7 mm (1/4-inch) mono jack. The models you mentioned pertain to headsets with mic. The microphone jack of this sound card does not support 4 pole plugs.

this is made for security cameras or stand alone listening device...depending on your software and operating system but you could plug the red side into a power supply as it is the power source for the mic, then you will need a rca to stereo adapter, so you can plug that into the mic jack on the laptop....using your sound cards recording software, once you hit record then you'll here the microphone working....depending on your use will determine the best way to set it up for success. if your using it for just a microphone you might have a problem with backfeed from being to close.

I mostly use this card for headphones, however I would guess no to your question. Maybe if you plug the front panel audio into this card and plug your other speakers in up there would you maybe be able to do that. maybe ask on like head-fi.org as they will probably know much more than me. I also, do not own this sound card anymore, as my new motherboard did not have a pci connector :/ Some people might not agree, but after purchasing my new xonar essence stx, I would say this card is hardly any different sounding.

This mic requires a power supply, in between the mic and the input for the computer. You will need a preamp or a mixer with phantom power. You can find several different types on amazon, ebay, etc. You would plug your mic into the preamp/power supply, then run a connection from the preamp to your computer. Some preamps give you the option of either running the output via a standard mini jack into the mic input on your laptop OR via a USB port, depending on the design of your preamp/mixer.

This sound card connects to laptop with USB. You can also use your headphones. I never tried microphone. But It should be compatible.

I have not tried that so I do not know for sure. But if that is your main use for the soundcard, you'd better off with Asus Xonar U3 as the internal DAC of this card is not used then.
