I RECENTLY BOUGHT A BEHRINGER MIXER WITH PHANTOM POWER, I BOUGHT A BEHRINGER CONDENSER MIC THAT NEEDS PHANTOM POWER, AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT THESE THINGS INTO MY PC TO BE ABLE TO RECORD MUSIC AT HOME, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED AN AMPLIFIER FOR THE MICROPHONE, HOWEVER I WAS ALSO TOLD IF I HAVE A BOOMBOX SYSTEM THAT HAS RCA IN, AND RCA OUTPUTS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT AS A AMPLIFIER, SO MY QUESTION IS THIS... HOW WOULD I GO ABOUT CONNECTING ALL THESE THINGS ONTO MY COMPUTER, WOULD I HAVE TO UPGRADE MY SOUNDCARD IN ORDER NOT TO GET ALOT OF HISS, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS SOUNDCARD WOULD DO THE TRICK, THAT IT WOULD HELP OUT MY AUDIO RECORDING SOUNDCARD, SHOULD THIS SOUNDCARD WORK OR SHOULD I PURCHASE ANOTHER SOUNDCARD AND HOW WOULD I GO ABOUT CONNECTING ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS ONTO MY PC...

OK, first of all if you're trying to use a laptop you've made one mistake so far, and that's the sound card you got on eBay.

This lil' gizmo provides not only phantom power for your Behringer Mic, but also a USB connection for your laptop and some software to boot!

And (for a limited time) you get a free microphone with your purchase! It must be your lucky day!
 
so You Think Purchasing A Usb Soundcard Would Be The Solution To My Problems? Is There Anything A Bit More Affordable That Would Still Give Me Good Quality, It Doesnt Necessarily Have To Have Phantom Power, My Mixer Has The Phantom Power That My Microphone Needs, Is There Another Usb Soundcard That You Can Recommend That Would Give Me Studio Like Quality, Or Anything Close To That Or Atleast Better Than What My Quality Sounds Now, Because Now I Get Alot Of Hiss In The Background Of My Acapellas...

I Need More Help I Thank You For Your Patience With Me...
 
If you're looking for a solution to your problem that requires no investment at all I can't offer you any advice.

To me, $200 for a USB interface that will make good sounding recordings is not too much to invest.

For you, you need to make up your own mind about how much you want/need/can afford to spend...
 
does It Work With A Windows Pc? Im Running Windows Xp, Or Is It Only For Mac Pcs? Thank You For Your Help
 
First off your mixer has phantom power so your mic will work fine. What software are you going to record to? That could be important. Before you go out and buy more stuff try this. Plug your mic and/or instrument (s) into the mixer, using the control room out, or the main out of the mixer (Alternatively you could use the tape out RCA's) plug into the input of your SB ex break out box. Make sure you have the SB as the input device in your software preferences settings and hit record. Can't hurt and you never know it might not sound too bad. and if it does sell the SB and look at M-audio's mobile pre usb interface or the tascam unit mentioned above. (BTW I use a Tascam US-224 with my Apple powerbook and record into Ableton Live) Anyway, good luck
J.
