Hi, I'm using two Audio-Technica atr2100 usb/xlr mics and would like to plug in a 3rd source, say Skype or GChat audio. Will the mixer support this?

Yes it will. I've used my laptop as a source for an input of music, Skype, etc.
1425958
It will, but you will need to buy a 1/8 inch jack to dual 1/4 inch jack to plug in from your computer's headphone/speaker port to the mixer.

Yes, you have two more channels where you can plug in sources with a 1/4 inch jack. I use a 1/4 to 1/8 inch adapter to add in Skype audio through Line In 3/4.

It works only with one. if you have two mics hooked on each it XLR will be the one active (the TRS signal is so low that is kind of useless). I guess the Y would also compromise the quality signal too. Better look for another solution that supports 2 mics

Yes the can,any mixer that has xlr 3 pin inputs can use these microphones and once you get your levels adjusted they are ready to go.If for some reason your mixer doesn't have xlr inputs, you can get audio converters ie: xlr to phono,etc,however a mixer with xlr inputs is ideal.Make sure that both are set on different MHz numbers and you will be set.From Victor SieffVS Video ProductionsDenver

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.

I'm guessing you want to hook up a microphone and another audio source like a CD player or iPod at the same time and be able to mix background music in realtime, rather than having to edit a multitrack recording after the fact in GarageBand or similar software? This little mixer will work fine for that purpose. If you are thinking of mixing multiple microphone inputs simultaneously on one recording (several people talking at once), it won't work for that: you'd need a bigger mixer with more than one XLR input jack (as many as you plan to have mikes going at once).

Joe:Should work fine. The plug is a standard mini plug and you can go from your Sennheiser mike to the adapter to the mixer with and XLR input with no problems. Mine works fine that way. Larry

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

Technically you can't, but you might have issues with both trying to take over the same port, or the computer might read them as the same microphone. In theory I think you could with some tinkering. I've connected two microphones to my PC before but with two different microphones.

No problem bud! That is correct. On some laptops, there will be a combination port (meaning one instead of two). In this case, you can plug both microphones and headphones into the single port. In your case, there are probably two labeled mic and headphone.

You should. Though I haven't tried it I don't see why you couldn't run one mic into the xlr input and run another into the 1/4. But make sure you use phantom power. Great question though. I'll have to try it out myself

The cable needed for this mic is an XLR. Make sure you have a mixer to use it with ;-)

No it will not work, because you only can dedicate one USB connection as your default playback device. But you can do what you want with only one unit by using a microphone splitter to attach to the (RED) hole and connect the other end to the two microphones. You can use a splitter like " RLCAB095 - Stereo Audio Input Splitter". Google it.

I brought it for my grandsons with an Behringer 302USB Premium 5-Input Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamp and USB/Audio Interface for $49 they say it works but they can't download the software to do the mixing personally I read an answer to this question that makes more sense --return it and buy a snowball usb mike. I goggled it and it is cheaper and seems less complicated to use and set up-- http://bluemic.com/snowball/

This mixer can send output from your two wireless microphones (assuming they have standard input capabilities) into your PC mixed to your preference; that information then becomes "input" to your PC after which the output to the amp/speaker setup becomes your PC's responsibility moreso than the mixer. The short answer is that it should if you know how to handle your PC as a middleman. Hope this helps~

I looked at the mixer and it looks like the usb is only for plugging in mp3 players. You need a audio interface to connect to a laptop I use Roland UA-1G whith my laptop. Sorry for my first response I always just assumed that was what it was for.

This mic requires phantom power from a mixer board. Will not work without phantom power. There are some external phantom power boxes you can purchase that are not expensive.

Yes and no. For one microphone attached to a standard Mac or PC, I suggest the USB model as it has has a built-in driver. If using something other than a standard Mac or PC, the 3.5mm Plug model might be a better choice as it would have no built-in driver. For two microphones attached to a standard Mac or PC, I suggest using one USB model and one 3.5mm Plug model plugged into one of the input jacks on the USB model (there are two inputs, the instructions indicate which input to use on the USB model). For multiple microphones attached to a standard Mac or PC, one USB model combined with one or more 3.5mm Plug models would be best. The USB model has both left and right inputs so that users can daisy-chain one or more 3.5mm Plug models into each input. If I had a 30-foot conference table, I could place the USB model in the middle of the table with two 3.5mm Plug models on one side and three 3.5mm Plug models on the other side for a total of 6 microphones on the table. I presently use a similar setup on a smaller table and get great audio unless somebody is drumming his fingers or tapping her pen on the table.
