I’d like to use my laptop as my studio…I have Sony SoundForge…I have a Shure SM58 mic. I am thinking about a xenyx502 mixer plugged to a UCA200 . Would this mixer give me phantom power to my mic…or do i even need phantom power. Also, would Skype out work for me with this up? Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Ed

Hey Ed,

The microphone would be fine, but limited, to use with the xenyx502. It does not have phantom power, so if in the future you’d like to move up to a condenser microphone, you’d need either a pre-amp that supplied phantom power or buy another mixer. The next step up in the Behringer line, the 802 model has the phantom power for just a few dollars more. Also, the 502 mixer does not have a monitor/fx channel, so using it with Skype in what’s called a mix-minus wouldn’t work out. The model 802 Behringer also has that as a feature so you can work with Skype or other phone interface equipment. The UCA should work with Soundforge and the mixer to get the sound in the laptop.

Good luck, let me know if you have any more questions. I’m glad to help.

Thanks,
Russ

Thanks Russ…. Sounds like I should have ordered the Behringer rather than the Xenyx…oh well…
BTW, I like your site…there’s a lot of valuable stuff here!

Behringer, company name, Xenyx, line of mixers. Everything you orderd will wok together great. Let me know when you get it, I’d love to listen to the podcast.

Good Luck,
Russ
