That mixer doesn't have phantom power, to power the mic!!!

 

[darrin_h2000]

no phantom power=no sound

 

[moresound]

No sound = No recording tonight

 

[anthony95]

is there anything very cheap tht has enough to power this mic? and is the usb version of this mic any big difference from the xlr cable one?

 

[darrin_h2000]

Better to get a decent Dynamic...thats a crappy condenser anyhow...there is plenty of very usable Dynamics at that price...good condensers cost more than $99.
