Hello,
I would like to connect my bird UM1 to my mixer (http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Mixers/Analog-Mixers/Q502USB/p/P0ALL)
The problem is that I absolutely need an XLR cable! The output from my microphone is not standard and looks like a printer jack, here is the photo (http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2016/31/1470175850-bird-um1-1.jpg)
I hope you can help me..
Best regards

    Hello,

    Of course, it's a "USB" microphone :o))

    However, the few "USB" to "XLR" cables that exist don't have very good audio quality... so, it's not very advisable and not of good quality for this kind of use. :o)

    The simplest option will therefore be to use it purely via USB.

      Thank you for the response. Do you know if there are mixing tables with a USB input?

        To my knowledge, there is no mixing console with a USB microphone input; all of these inputs are either XLR or 6.35mm JACK.

        It's not the console that needs to be changed, but the microphone.

        That's what happens when you rush into products without asking for advice.

        Best regards and have a good evening.

        No, it doesn't exist.

        Moreover, this type of microphone is mainly focused on pure "computer" use, for podcasting or voice recording, for example... Not for broadcasting :o)

    Good evening,

    None of your 2 links work.

    Just copy/paste the URLs of the sites but don’t put parentheses or anything else, thank you ;-)

    I did some research, it’s probably this:

    -->http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Mixers/Analog-Mixers/502/p/P0576<--

    And this probably:

    -->https://www.woodbrass.com/micro-usb-et-pour-ipad-%26-iphone-bird-um1-p155970.html<--

    But if you bought this microphone new, you should know that there was a 3-meter USB cable included.

    And you want to switch from digital operation to analog like that?

    I just want to point out that this type of microphone is designed to be connected to a PC and nothing else; just read its description:

    -->http://www.woodbrass.com/images/woodbrass/BIRD+UM1.PDF<--

    Best regards and have a good evening.
