I hope you find these listings helpful. If you are like me, you need a little bit on information before making a buying decision. Here’s a description of Mic Xlr for you.
Are there any cons to using an XLR to 1/4 inch jack with recording instruments/vocals?
I am looking into buying a Shure SM57 mic primarily Mic Xlr for recording purposes, however at the moment I am using a pre-amp that only has a 1/4 inch jack. In the future I want to upgrade to a more expensive one with an XLR port, but I am wondering if the mic will still essentially give me the same quality.

It would help to know the make and model of wireless.Most good systems use a standard XLR mic connector. Just connect it to the sound system like any mic with a XLR cable. Many wireless also have a 1/4 inch output for short distances. If the receiver is within 10 feet of the mixer, you will be ok to use a 1/4 inch cable. It might be good to buy a XLR and a 1/4 inch cable just to be safe.
no. There is no jack. However there are many inexpensive flash recorders.PS-mic FLAG.
Yes. The point of DMX using 3 pin XLR is that existing audio compatible cables, including in snakes, can be used.
XLR provides phantom power of about 50 volts, and your headphone mike needs 5v or less (my PC’s soundcard puts out about 3 volts, but it’s supposed to be 5v), so the basic problem is supplying power to your mike and disconnecting the XLR lead that supplies phantom power. What you can do is get a 3-cell battery clip, or a two-cell and a one-cell (so you’ve got 4.5 volts in series) and use that to power your headset mike. Here’s a schematic I threw together for you:http://www.flickr.com/photos/11888359@N08/2851742640/
Hello Michael,Yes you can adapt an XLR type wire to RCA by first adapting XLR to 1/4 inch male plug, then the 1/4 inch to RCA.In the case that your microphone needs power to operate(phantom power), this type of adaptation will not work.And a XLR cable type is not a stereo wire when used with a microphone.Its not a good idea to adapt such a thing, because your units will not be grounded correctly and may break electronics equipment.
I did exactly that for a makeshift PA system for a large room and it worked great for the three years I needed it. I pieced it together with what I had lying around.
“It isn’t possible to turn headphones into a microphone”Yes it is.Ask your science teacher to explain “motor/generator”, or search for the term on the internet.
