Hi!
I'm thinking of buying a new microphone(Røde Podmic. This one) which has an XLR connection, it's a dynamic mic, I was told this is the mic to go for if there's background noise etc in the room. I'm just going to use it for communication while gaming.
Today I have a USB microphone(Thronmax Mdrill One Pro), but there seems to be an issue with those as I've tried 2 different devices after getting a new one on warranty, they disconnect sometimes and reconnect after 5 seconds, causing my default mic input to change on the computer, disabling my ability to speak to my friends on Discord, until I manually change it back. It's so frustrating, because it seems as everytime I move my chair(the wheels), it disconnects! Or when my mini-fridge cooler which I have under the desk starts working(cooler turns on), it does the same). I haven't been able to figure this out, so I just wanna change the mic completely.
I'm using a DT 990 250 ohm headphone connected to a Monoprice Desktop AMP, which is connected to a GSX 1200 DAC(I am using the DAC because of it's surround feature, I know it's not necessary for power etc.), and the GSX is then connected through USB to the computer. The GSX has a microphone 3.5 connection which I want to connect this Røde XLR mic to, what do I need for this to be possible? Any other amps or anything, to power the mic, or is this sufficient? I'm a total noob at this, thanks for the patience
I asked a question here regarding my AMP + DAC setup a few months back and got incredible help, so I'm trying my luck again. Not even sure this thread is in the correct subject/topic.
So my question is basically if I need something else besides my GSX 1200 to power the microphone? I don't have any knowledge about this besides what I've read online today, I saw a guy using a phantom power supply or something? Do I need that for a dynamic microphone?
EDIT: Or, can I just connect the microphone to the back of my Monoprice AMP? There are RCA connections in the back, 2 of them being occupied by my headphones(RCA to AUX cable, going from the AMP to the DAC). But in this case, will I be able to select the microphone as input method in Windows?
