It could as long as your computer has a 3.5mm input mic jack. And your audio output source has a RCA style output with L(white) and R(red) rca. Also you will need software that can support what you are trying to do. Hope this was helpful. Good Luck!

If your digital sound recorder has a RCA output then yes. The other end is a headphone jack.

I assume that your computer don't have RCA input (the red and white plugs); it will not work. If you want to record from your recorder, find something like 3.5mm Male To 3.5mm Male Stereo Audio Cable; plug one end into your recorder audio output, the other end to your computer microphone input, and record the sound came out your computer speaker.you can find some instruction here http://it.usu.edu/tutorials/htm/recording-audio-from-your-computer and here http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-system-audio-prior.html . (the output is from your recorder)

As long as your DR has a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, and your computer has RCA stereo input jacks it should work fine. (I would get the shortest cables you need to get better sound, and if sound is very important then get a "High-Grade" set of cables with "Gold-Plated" jacks for better sound.) But to answer your question, Yes, this should work.

I've only used it with my digital recorder but when I used a cassette recorder I had one that was similar and it worked fine. I would think it should be okay as long as your recorder has the right mic jack.

I did not use it for audio but I used it for video for my karaoke monitor one end failed after about a month. I'm a karaoke DJ and I had to move it around a lot from gig to gig. I notified the seller about the failure and they offered to replaced it if I sent it back but the cable was so cheap I didn't bother it was really to heavy for my use anyway and I bought a lighter cable.

You know what . . . .? I haven't used my digital voice recorder since I got my Macbook which records my voice and then I can lay a track of music over the voice recording. I use it for my hypnosis client's sessions. So I can't help with your question, sorry.

No, I don't see how. This jack is just for a microphone with an XLR connection. I don't think most setups for recording phone calls would use that kind of mic. On the other hand, it would work if you used the mic to record a call using the hands-free speaker function on your phone.

This cable is XLR male, and its common use is to run an audio output from a laptop, ipod, ipad etc, 1/8 output, to a mixing console, direct box etc. I wouldn't use it with a microphone. In fact, most condenser mics need an XLR female or some USB capsules uses a usb cord.

You can definitely use it for direct recording. I've used it on a couple of finished tracks with a couple of different instruments. You'll likely have some latency issues and will have to mess around with the settings, but every DAW I've tried it with has recognized it as an input source.

I used it to play directly into Audacity. When I was done, I let a fellow musician use it and I'm not able to give detailed instructions at the moment. I used both the headphone and usb to copy music from cassette tapes. USB quality seemed a little better then headphone plug.

Well, it is analog and is intended for use in an amplifier. But you could probably use an adapter that converts the analog to digital, but I don't know what the quality would be. If you want to do that, something like this should work: http://www.amazon.com/2-5mm-3-5mm-Female-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B001078FV8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375320830&sr=8-1&keywords=3.5mm+female+to+2.5mm+male+adapter But if you're using it in an amplifier, it's a great microphone. But I recommend you get these as well to protect it from spit and such: http://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Black-Microphone-Windscreen-Cover/dp/B005CERXFO/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1375320597&sr=1-1&keywords=microphone+cover+foam But if you want a good digital microphone for recording in a computer sound editing software or just for voice chatting or whatever, I recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Computer-Laptop-Notebook-canceling/dp/B002KL0VY2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1375321160&sr=8-3&keywords=laptop+microphone Hope I helped ;)

I have a small mic/line mixer and us this cable to come from the mains and into a sound system. I also use this cable to go from electronic drums and my laptop into two channels of the mixer. Hope this helps. Rick

I'm not 100% sure but I think the computer's mic port is for input only. There is a separate port for audio output. This connector is made for headset ports which have both. So unless your computer has a specific headset port, I don't think this would work.

Why would you bother? Impedance changes, XLR versus mini line level changes, more possibilities for bad mechanical connection. Consider borrowing a digital recorder with XLR input, if the microphone is important for the application. If this is your only available recorder (and it's a good one), then prepare to deal with noise or dropouts.

Agree with the previous answer. As an FYI, the USB cord is strictly for transferring files from the recorder to a computer/laptop.

I haven't tried it, but I would think you would need to convert from your RCA to 1/4" banana plug type adapters such as the Hosa Cable GPR101 RCA To 1/4 Inch TS Adaptor - 2 Pack. (Search it on Amazon). You need to connect it as an audio source, the RCA plugs on these don't seem to do much but give you sound through the headphones coming back in so for example if you were using a metronome to keep time while laying down a bass groove, you wouldn't actually be passing that metronome click back through to your recording, just the headphones...

Hi. I love this mic. To use on a computer you would need an interface that will convert the analog output to digital. You will also need an xlr cable that goes from the mic to the interface and a usb cable from interface to computer. If you are recording music you will need a recording program. Without a program you can encounter a noticable delay. Have fun!

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.

Yes, as mentioned several times, get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Audio Cable, and using Audio grabber or some other freebie computer recording software, "play" it using Line In to your computer. Not as clean as a direct USB connection and thus, not as easy as drag and drop, but it works fine and you can save your recordings to your computer. The spoken sound quality is very good and clear.
