I've got a USB M-Audio MobilePre coming that will be going into my laptop.
It has three types of inputs:
- XLR microphone input
- 1/8" stereo desktop microphone input
- 1/4" Instrument/line input (1/4” balanced)
Now, I have an old AKG dynamic mic, that came with an XLR -> 1/8" cable. Should I use this to plug into the Mobilepre, or should I get a regular XLR -> XLR cable?
Can someone explain the difference between using each type of input? Or why one is better than the other?
