Studio Condenser Mic
Can I hook up a USB Condenser Mic to a Behringer UB1202 Eurorack Mixer?
Q: I have a Samson C01U USB Studio Condenser Microphone.
I’m looking into buying a Behringer UB1202 Eurorack Mixer, but I can’t find out if I can hook up this condenser mic to the mixer.
I’m wondering if I can use some kind of adapter for it, but I’m afraid of losing some of the sound quality.
Any information will help. Thanks!
A: The USB mic can only connect to your computer because it is a USB mic. There is no adapter. If you want a mic to connect to the mixer, you will need to get a regular mic like this:
