All mics need power to operate. Some, such ans this one, get it with a battery in the mic and some use what's called a phantom power supply. This is just like most other mics that have self contained power. You should just be able to plug it in and use it. Anyway it's worth a shot. You can't really hurt the mic itself. The gain your asking about is usually provided by the software that you use to record the sound with. I use this mic primarily on my camera in place of the electret mic that it comes with, and I've never had to "Boost" the sound. Hope this helps.

Hi, how can you plug the mixer into the laptop? I don't recommend the sound card onboard to record because maybe you experiment some latency when you record. The laptop is ok, but you need to buy adicional parts to optimize the latency, one of those is an external sound card and also one ssd disk to replace the default hard disk. For record i recommend a m-audio card, good luck!

I use this mic all the time with skype on my macbook pro. It pic's up the audio much better than the computer mic. Hope this helps.

Best option is to use a dac (digital to analog converter - schiit make a "bifrost" that's fantastic). Failing that you can go headphone 1/8th mini pin to left/right stereo cable from the headphone out of your Mac to the line In input on the back of the amp.

I'm not overly familiar with Apple Laptops, but I think the headphone jack also serves as a line in (wish I had one available to test that out). Failing that, you could always get an inexpensive RCA Audio to USB cable/converter.

Hello mate, same story with the mac I'm afraid, I have a couple of macs too, may sound a tad bit better but does not power the drivers adequately. I run mine through an audio interface in my studio, Focusrite Saffire 40, this has headphone amps with volume controls and powers the just fine. If you really want to enjoy these headphones, you do need good headphone amps. I also use them to monitor sound into my Zoom H4N in which do have a small headphone amp on them

This is only a sound card. You would need to hook this up to a computer. Mac or PC doesn't matter. Sound is pretty good considering price.

Try audacity its a recording software for Windows and Apple and if that doesn't help try Sound Record or Cakewalk

No, this is not a usb Mic. You need a preamp or midi input that will in turn conned to your mac.

You might want to invest in a USB mixing board. Then you plug your mic into this unit, plug the output into the mixing board and then connect the mixing board to your computer.

Thanks for the feedback Ryan. In fact, i was able to solve this by using one simple piece of kit - a USB 2.0 to 3.5mm jack. It works flawlessly since the audio is now going through USB as opposed to the 3.5MM analog port on the MBP. BIRUGEAR USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Female Audio Stereo Microphone Adapter + Neck Strap Lanyard

You can get a RCA to 3.5 cable and that will do the job. Something like this:Dynex 3.5 mm Mini to RCA Stereo Audio Cable - 6-Feet - 1.8 MHowever, if you are getting a DAC, you can use a USB DAC or optical DAC (most macbook pro support optical out)

The short answer is actually no. The problem is that all modern Macs (since 2012 or 2013) use an integrated 3.5mm jack for both the output and input (mic). So if you want to use the mic with a Mac, you will need to purchase a USB converter.

Cynthia, your PC should have two mini jacks, one for a mic and the other for a headset. plug it into the mic jack. The next challenge is figuring out how to get it to work. If you are using a MAC, I can't help, but ig you are using a PC running any version of Windows you may have to go to the speaker symbol on the task bar in the far right side on my systems, right click and open recording devices. To record you may want to load Audacity, a free sound audio recording/editor. My mic had a touchy on/off switch, but it works fine now. The Sound controls are also available in the Control Panel. Good luck. I live mine.

Not directly, but you can buy for $10 & use a 3.5 mm jack (headphone input on laptop) to RCA (my qsc has rca's & xlr's inputs). I've brought this DJ2Go, MacBook Pro & 1 QSC K10 speaker to many gatherings.

It will work sound wise but the mic wont unless your laptop has a jack for it

yes, attach with a 3.5mm auxiliary cord, then look for the sound recorder on your computer, the process is quite easy.
