Hi there, I'm new to microphones and have a problem connecting a mic to my computer.
I have the Shure 809 Omnidirectional Condenser Mic with preamp. It outputs to XLR so I bought a XLR to USB converter. When I plug it into my computer, it registers as a "USB PnP Sound Device" and doesn't seem to be recording anything.
I tried using it in audacity and again nothing, except when I put it on the table and hit the table, it seems to recognize a very, very small input.
What's going on and what can I do?
Anything help is greatly appreciated!
