The Shure X2U XLR-to-USB Signal Adapter connects any XLR microphone to a computer for recording with headphone monitoring. It features USB connectivity, integrated preamplifier with Microphone Gain Control, and Zero Latency Monitoring for real-time playback. The Shure X2U, combined with any wired microphone can be easily connected directly to a computer without the need for any additional hardware. This would make it ideal for home recording studios.
Compatibility
The Shure X2U is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10 (32 & 64 bit), Vista (32 & 64 bit), XP, 2000 and Max OS X (10.1 or later). It features a built in headphone jack so that you can monitor the sound without the need for an additional sound card. It also includes an integrated pre-amp with mic gain control which allows you to control the signal strength.
Connectivity with Condenser Microphones
The Shure X2U does have phantom power so yes you can connect your condenser microphone straight into the computer.
Zero-Latency Monitoring
Latency can be described as the time taken between initiating a request in the computer and receiving the answer. You can expect zero latency monitoring with the Shure X2U. Zero-latency monitoring means real-time playback and multi-tracking without delay and 16-bit/48 kHz sample rate provides better-than-CD-quality audio.
Monitor Mix Control
With Monitor Mix Control (which is featured on the Shure X2U) you can blend the mic signal and audio playback as you desire.
