Somic MH208 condenser Microphone

- Hi, I'm Jordan from Kettner Creative. In this video, I'm gonna show you two ways to connect your condenser XLR microphone to your computer. Now in previous videos, we've shown you that a simple XLR to USB cable will not work and neither will the XLR to 3.5 millimeter XLR cable. Neither of those solutions will work for a condenser microphone because they don't have the required 48 volts of phantom power that is required to activate this microphone. So in this video, we're gonna show you two different ways to activate this microphone and plug it into your computer. The first way is to use an audio mixer that has a USB audio output in the back of it. So I'm gonna connect this to my computer. Now, this is a normal audio mixer. It's the Yamaha MG10XU. The XU means that it has a built-in audio interface. So that's how we connected it to our laptop here. So I'm gonna open up my sound setting
