Hello everyone, I have a little question for you. I have two PCs (one that I use for streaming and a second for gaming). My streaming PC is connected to my microphone, and my gaming PC is connected to my headset. Is it possible to connect the microphone to both PCs using a jack? Thank you in advance for your responses.

    So if I understand correctly, the microphone is XLR and connected to the PC via an XLR 3-pin female to 3.5mm jack cable.
    So the benefit of XLR is lost, but on this kind of entry-level microphone, I don't even see the point...

    So you can get by with a simple jack splitter, followed by a standard jack cable. (note that this one has 4 poles, which is not a problem).
    You connect the jack plug of the microphone cable to one of the female jacks of the splitter, then connect the male plug of the splitter into the line input of PC n°1, and finally connect the jack cable from the second female jack of the splitter to the line input of PC n°2.

    Hello,
    First of all, you contradict yourself between the title and your message; is it a jack connection or an XLR?

      Sorry, it's an XLR cable that is connected to my sound card on the PC.

        Sure.
        Can you provide the reference of the microphone? The reference of the sound card?

    The microphone is a BM-900, and the sound cards are integrated into the motherboards.
    The first streaming PC is the Z87-G45 Gaming, and the second gaming PC is the 82F1.

    I agree with you that the interest in XLR is lost, but it's really just for troubleshooting. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Have a good evening.
