How to connect an XLR microphone to a 3.5mm input?
I've just bought a Rode M3 mic. How can I connect it to a 3.5mm port? What adapter do I ned?
XLR female to 3.5mm male?
Mics require a preamp to boost the signal, which your soundcard will not be capable of doing, and any kind of gain will be very noisy. The AD conversion of consumer soundcards is also very poor. They also have very high latency and no monitoring options, ASIO support, etc. In generally they just really aren't designed for any kind of recording, even the more expensive ones.
I would suggest you look at some kind of entry-level external audio interface, Firewire or USB, with built-in preamps. Maybe one of the cheap offerings from M-audio like the Fast Track Pro?
Good choice with the mic by the way - should get you started well. I like really Rode mics! I have a few M3s, an NT1000, NT3, etc.
