You could use just about any interface that accepts the standard 3-pin XLR cable, presonus,tascam,apollo,UA all would work Please be aware this mic requires 24v phantom power.Get the best quality XLR cable you can afford to connect mic to interface

Whichever interface you use, make sure it can provide phantom power. Either that or you will need a preamp that provides phantom power.The M179 uses XLR cables.

It's not a USB mic and therefore you need a standard mic cable. This you run into a preamp OR some device that WOULD spit out a USB signal on the other end. It may be cheaper to get some converter like that but if your sound card takes a mic cable, you're set. Most don't. Since you do have USB (I assume) i'd look for a converter device.

Blue makes a very affordable, basically efficient pre-amp. Budget all the way. Called "Icicle". Decent, professional. What you can afford to spend is what matters.

Any usb interface with xlr inputs will work. You want to use an xlr cable to connect the mic to the interface. As far as brands go, i use Focusrite but any interface you can afford should do the trick

You must have an XLR male connection (cord or cordless cube) to operate this mic. What you see in the pic is exactly what you get. I use this for voice recording and it works perfectly.

The mic has a standard male jack. The cable is not included.As far as going to usb...I believe you would need a converter/adapter. There are mics designed to be plugged into a usb input.

It's dual plug. USB + 3.5mm.You have to plug in the 3.5 mm for the mic to work.

Hi, unless a microphone is listed as a "USB" mic out of the box (meaning there's a USB connector attached to the cord), I would not try to use it as such for fear of lessening the sound quality. This microphone is plugged into a USB Interface, but it is NOT a USB microphone. For my studio, I chose the PreSonus AudioBox22VSL (USB) Interface. I hooked the mic up to the Interface and the USB from the Interface into my computer. My home studio is digital (computer based), so I'm good to go. By the way, the sound quality of this mic is truly nice! Hopefully, this helps. Good luck!

the model we purchased has a USB connector. It may be available with either option, verify with the source before you purchase. The description may be referring to the port to gang an additional mic if necessary (we've not needed this, works well even in a large noisy room).

Sorry, this is not a USB mic, so as long as you have an adapter i imagine you can make it as long as you want. But to clarify, this microphone, or at least mine, is not set up with a usb interface.

I believe the headphone jack is for the mic, and the USB is for the camera, is you have a separate mic, then you don't need to plug in the jack, a little note, this may not be the best webcam, just a heads up

Well with my setup I use an XLR chord (a mic chord) to connect to the interface (your Focusrite) which connects to the computer via Firewire or USB

They make similar looking mics that are made to connevt directly to usb and come with built in table stands...look for one of those, this won't be what you're looking for.

This works with a xlr cable you need a usb. This mic uses power supplied thru cable... just a guess..no

This is not intended to be a professional quality mic. The AT2020-USB+ would be a much better choice.

You don't want to use the line input for the Mic, you should use either a 1/4 inch or XLR input

This is not a USB mic. This is a condenser mic with an XLR connection which requires phantom power. However, you could spend a little more money and buy a Blue Icicle (http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Icicle-Converter-Preamp/dp/B001EW5YQS_) which will convert the XLR to a USB.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

you will need a usb audio interface. the at4040 is one of the biggest condensers in its price range. you probably wont appreciate it until you use a lot of other mics. the top end it a tad flat but with some placement techniques you will have a hard time finding a better mic. it has a ton of presence to it in comparison to the at2020 usb. make sure you use eq and a compressor with whatever mic you get. the at4040 is a great mic though. one of the few worth the money in its price range.
