guitar usb interface image
bryant
I want to set up a condenser mic to record my guitar but I don't know how. I already am getting these things:
-MXL 990/991
-Behringer usb interface
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J5XS3C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
-Male to female xlr cable.
I know that you plug the female end of the xlr cable in the microphone, and the male into the usb interface; but how will you connect the usb interface to the computer? There's only female rca inputs and outputs, and I think 2 1/4 inch jacks. Do you get a Male rca-to-male 3.5mm jack and then plug that into the computer?

That model of Behringer mixer, the Xenyx 802, DOES NOT have a USB interface built into it, even though it came up among the hits when I searched for a "Behringer USB mixer."
The Behringer models with USB interface have "USB" on the end of their model number. They plug right into a USB port on your computer.
Instead of the Xenyx 802, you need to get the equivalent but USB-capable version, the Xenyx Q802USB. I hope it's not too late to cancel and change your order!
Musician's Friend carries the Xenyx Q802USB for $15 more ($79.99) than the non-USB version:

Amzon sells it for a little more ($89.99):

(they both sell the non-usb Xenyx 802 for $64.99)
BTW I checked out the rest of the low-end Behringers, and there are two cheaper ones with USB interface (the 502USB and 302USB) -- but they don't have phantom power (which your MXL 990/991 mic requires), so the Q802USB is the one to get.
