Full details

It bridges the gap between analog audio equipment and digital recording interfaces, offering a plug-and-play solution for high-quality audio capture, though it is limited to mono microphone signals and does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones requiring 48V.

FAQs

Can I use this with a condenser microphone?

No, this cable does not provide the 48V phantom power required to operate condenser microphones.

Do I need to install any drivers?

No, the cable uses standard USB audio class drivers that are built into Windows, macOS, Android, and iPadOS.

Is the cable shielded?

Yes, it features a robust, shielded design to help protect the audio signal from electromagnetic interference.

Will this work with an older iPhone?

This cable uses a USB-C interface. If your iPhone uses a Lightning port, you would need a certified USB-C to Lightning adapter, though performance may vary.

Can this be used for stereo recording?

No, this cable is designed for mono microphone inputs.

Troubleshooting

Computer does not recognize the microphone

Check system audio settings to ensure the cable is selected as the active 'Input' device and verify the USB-C connection is secure.

No sound or very faint signal

Ensure you are using a dynamic microphone that does not require phantom power and check the input gain levels in your recording software.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply insert the XLR connector into your microphone until it clicks into place, then plug the USB-C end into your device.
