Do the microphone inputs require 1/4" TRS plug (2 rings on the plug, balanced), or 1/4" TR cable plug (single ring, unbalanced). Or do both work? If both work, which works better? I want to purchase the correct microphone cable/jack. Thanks!

I can use them both, but I put the GPR101 RCA to the 1/4 " TS adt. to it, sorry I can't be of more help.

My guess, without having looked at the mic end; this is a stereo mic; it probably has a 3 pole/segmented plug - 1 for R & 1 for L channel along with a neutral section shared by both. iPhone's and Android's, like many devices today, are using a 4 pole plug. Hence the issue it is not a defect in the mic but a incompatible style of plug.You may need to find a 3.5mm Stereo TRRS 4-Pole Plug to 3.5mm Mic & Headset Jack converter.Hope this helps.Have a Magical Day

This is balanced mic cable. Usually, this cable supports a phantom power mic. I'm not sure what device you are going to use it for.If the connection is matched, it's no problem to use it.

This is a Balanced to Unbalanced cable. The XLR end is Balanced. The TRS end is Unbalanced.

It depends on the model you have. My guess is you have a 1/4' input jack. You will need to pick one of those up at any walmart, radio shack, best buy, etc. I would also check the specs for your model to see if it requires a powered mic like the Audio-Technica. Hope this helps!

Had a wrong answer here a minute ago. I own a few mics, and got the details confused. I doesn't come with a cable. You were right that the mic has a male XLR jack. You'd need to buy a female XLR cable. I use a female XLR to male 1/4" cable, and then use a female 1/4" to male XLR adapter for use with my audio interface.

Is that microphone jack stereo or mono? Does it provide "phantom power" to a microphone? &gt;If it does, you probably can't use that jack for any other device. Does the RCA - to - 1/8" adapter have a stereo (3-contact) or mono (2-contact) 1/8" plug? &gt;Some mono ones are made with red and white insulators (or other mixed colours), which makes them APPEAR to be the same as the stereo ones. If any part of the connecting arrangement is "mono", you won't get the "correct" sound from the turntable, and it is possible that you would get no sound. Also, check to see if there is an input-level adjustment (it would be an on-screen control); if there is one and it is set at or near its minimum, little or no signal will get into the "konfuzer". I would prefer that a LINE-level input was provided; but I believe some microphone inputs are set up so that they can be selectively switched to accomodate line-level signals. You may need to consult someone locally who can investigate the settings on your specific laptop. &gt;Line level is about 100 times the voltage of a microphone's output, and it will overdrive a microphone stage. Another possibility is: The signal going into the microphone jack probably can't be passed to the speakers directly. If it was so connected, you would have a defacto "P.A. system", and laptops are not known for having that function. In any event, the correct setting of the AT-PL120's output switch is "LINE", which will apply the necessary RIAA frequency equalization. If all else fails, instead of connecting the turntable to the laptop, use a pair of powered speakers that have their own volume control, a boombox with an auxiliary input, or any normal stereo system until you have the laptop matter figured out.

Either the XLR or TRS offers a balanced output. This baby is pretty versatile for our small group, so we raraly haul out our bigger mixer board anymore

No this has just an XLR input and no 1/8th. It's not a multi jack like some inputs.I use a lab mic with 1/8th and knocked up my own cable adapter for it...male XLR to 1/8th female. Little bit of soldering time and say $3.00 you've got it sorted. The pre amp is so good!...it's worth doing I assure you. Or go buy an adapter lead if you don't want to do it yourselve.

you can use it that way or mix and match inputs to outputs, at least the way I tried it. I did not test compatibility of the TRS 1/4" mic jacks but I use mine with the my preamps xlr output to the xlr input of the ART DTI, then outputted through the ART DTI rca jacks to my amps..hope this helps, DR.

From the looks of the unit, what is usually referred to as a breakout cable. Which is two TS connectors that connect to a TRS connector. You do not have to use balanced connectors from the output of your unit and as this is a monitoring tool, the noise level will be virtually inaudible and there would not be much advantage to using balanced TRS connectors.

This shock mount includes an xlr cable attachment for microphones with such input. I suppose you could attach the microphone and just use the usb cord attached the microphone and computer...but why? There are studio arms without the xlr cord attached, perhaps it best you find one that doesn't because this cord does not dis-attach (if that's a word) from the studio arm. Hope this helps.

You don't get something from nothing. The original output form the microphone is a dual mono out. This adapter merely allows you to plug it into an XLR input. It will never be a truly balanced connection, because a balanced connection requires two signal lines instead of one. But his doesn't automatically mean you can't do it. It only means that it will behave as an unbalanced connection. In this situation you might consider running you mic into an inexpensive mixer, probably using this adapter. You can get 4-channel mixers for under $50. Then take a line level signal from the mixer and run it the 150' into your camera. Remember to go to your camera's menu and reset the audio input from mic level to line level. Then you should have a much cleaner signal, especially if your mixer and camera are communicating with each other via a balanced connection.

I used this about 2 years ago and from what I remember I needed to connect 2 XLR mics to a stereo camcorder mic input. This is the the not the "correct" way to do this properly. The "proper" solution is more complicated and much more expensive. XLR mics are "Balanced" mics and in theory when used properly they minimize or eliminate the unwanted 60 Hz hum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It has 4 XLR inputs and two 1/4" TRS inputs so if your mic cables all end in xlr you will need two female xlr to male 1/4" TRS adaptors. As long as you have the proper adaptors it should work just fine. In the record settings you can set it up for individual files. The manual does a decent job of explaining inputs and set up and there are many tutorials on youtube on using this unit.

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.

I asked this question directly with the vendor (Long Tail Products) and they said it is OMTP, which explains my problem and probably explains most negative reviews. The best explanation of this technical issue is http://www.cablechick.com.au/blog/understanding-trrs-and-audio-jacks/
