When Mic Cables arrived, I opened it and was impressed with the solid packaging which insured Mic Cables did not arrive damaged in any way, shape, or form.
Overall, my experience was amazing. I hope this helps you make a solid buying decision for Mic Cables.
Are there cables that will attach to my mic and then connect to my computer without buying an interface?
Are there cables Mic Cables that will attach to my mic and then connect to my computer without buying an interface? My current cheap mic connects firectly to the mic input. Will others do as well or can i get a cable to connect them for desktop recording

Damage? From what? Assuming they are XLR cables, go for it. No damage, no problem. I’ve do that a lot – with no damage to the cables, mics, board… no damage at all. There’s nothing to damage.
You need a 3 pin XLR Balanced Microphone cable (cord). And you’ll need to turn the Phantom Power on on the interface. Any decent pro-audio shop should be able to sell you one. Go for a good quality one – don’t buy cheap.
Yes. The point of DMX using 3 pin XLR is that existing audio compatible cables, including in snakes, can be used.
Boom Mounted:This is the preferred method of working with a shotgun mic and the method used in 90% of all professional work. The advantage is that the shotgun can be brought much closer to the talent or subject’s proximity, thereby resulting in a much better signal to noise ratio, isolating the talent or subject’s sound effectively from unwanted ambient sound while still retaining the richness and superior bass response that a shotgun records as compared to most other types of mics. The downside is that you must use a bigger crew……The above is a quote, from a really complete and thoughtful commentary, on just what you are looking for. Link is below.
Any type of audio equipment works with electrical signals. Whether it is an electrical cord, a guitar cable, or a mic cable, the signal will get weaker (lower signal quality) as the cable gets longer. Mind you, the quality of the cable makes a big difference as well. The better it conducts electricity, the better the signal will be. For instance, gold is better than copper. It may be more expensive, but it normally works better because it conducts electricity better than copper. Depending on how much power the mic needs, you may need to have the phantom power turned on, or another source of power for the mic.
Component cables will not help the problem. Did you try turning on game mode? Game mode speeds up the processor in the TV and should help. You can also adjust the lag in the options menu in the game. This should clear up any problems.
Download your motherboard manual here. Plug placement should be found there.http://safemanuals.com/user-guide-instructions-owner-manual/ASUS/P4P800-_EBTW: Points for chosen answers are always 10 here. You can’t give more or less than that.
Depends on what kind of quality you’re looking for. If you just want something that works and don’t care about it being studio quality, you could just buy a Rock Band USB mic and plug that in. If you want absolute maximum quality, the mixer and XLR condenser mic is the way to go.
Balanced mic cables are made using three-conductor shielded cable. If you’re handy with a soldering iron, you can buy it in bulk and get the connectors separately and solder them on. I prefer Switchcraft connectors. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re solidly built and reliable.[edit]Come to think of it, they actually call it two-conductor shielded cable, because they don’t count the shield as a conductor. The shield gets soldered to the ground pin on the connector. See the link below for an example. You’d want to use something heavier than 22 gauge for heavy duty use, like a singer who likes to swing the mic around like Roger Daltrey, but the smaller size might be good for a snake if you’re going to bundle a lot of cables.
It will NOT effect the quality of the signal or the balanced properties of the cable by any detectable amount. You can run balanced lines for hundreds of feet with little or no loss in quality. It is better to use one cable of the apropriate length if possible though because if you use an extension cable, you are adding one more set of connectors to the cable. It just takes away a bit of reliability.
If you’re using composite (red/yellow/white) cables right now, getting the component cables will help as the TV will not have to do as much processing of the signal before displaying it on the screen. Less work = less lag.Also, check if your HDTV has a ‘game’ mode that you can set. This mode will usually do less processing to the signal (especially audio) and again reduce lag.
