This Audio-Technica vocal microphone pack features a pair of over-the-ear headphones with 40mm drivers that deliver crisp, accurate audio.
Q: What to you hook/connect it to?
A: It depends on the application. Typically, this type microphone/boom arm bundle is used with a small format Mic/Line Mixer or an audio interface with a USB output for connecting to a computer for things like podcasting etc. The AT2020 Microphone (with XLR type output connector) requires 48 volts DC phantom power to operate. This power may be provided by the Mixer or interface it is to be used with. If the Mixer or interface does not provided phantom power, a phantom power supply will need to be installed between the microphone and the Mixer or interface.
A: We recommend connecting the output of the microphone and the output of the piano keyboard to separate inputs on a Mic/line Mixer and connecting the headphones to the headphone output jack on the Mixer. This will allow you to have individual control over the level of the mic and the keyboard as you listen to them in the headphones..
Q: Can I use this with my iMac and to do podcasting?
A: No, not without some type of audio interface between the microphone and the computer anyway. Consider a USB audio interface and make certain it provides 48 volts DC phantom power for condenser type microphones.
Q: CAN THIS BE USED ON A MOBILE DEVICE
A: No, it cannot - not directly anyway. You would need an audio interface, one which supplies 48 volts phantom power on its XLR mic input, installed between the microphone and the mobile device.
Q: Is this USB?
A: No, this is not USB.
Q: does this come with the xlr cable
A: Yes, it does. The cable is integrated into the boom.
