## Questions & Answers

**Q: hi bit of a begginer when it comes to mics, gunna sound really stupid but dose it come with the wires to hook up to a pc? i wanna use it to stream**
A: No - just the mic. It needs an XLR cable and also phantom power (being a condenser mic). Chances are you don't already a suitable connection on your PC (it won't hook up to a 3.5mm line connection or mic port for example). You would need to purchase an XLR cable and an Audio Interface (something like the Scarlett 2i2 would be ideal). Cheers.

**Q: Has anyone recorded vocals with this mic, and how was it? Is it good enough to record the vocals for an album? Thanks, Paul**
A: Yes, it is designed as a vocal microphone. It produces great quality vocals.

**Q: Is this a warm slightly dark sounding mic or quite bright and crispy overall ?**
A: I’d say bright and crispy with a silky smooth top end. Not harsh at all.

**Q: What cable is needed to attached to a Mac?**
A: Not sure you can connect directly to a Mac.  I use an audio interface (Apogee Duet) which uses a usb cable to connect to the Mac and allows for normal microphone connection.
