Just picked up a mic to attempt some recording with something better than the standard PC mic. This is a dynamic mic, 60-15Khz response, output impedance is 500 Ohms (+/- 30%). Plug is 1/4". Standard audio unidirectional mic.
Can I simply get a 1/4" to RCA converter plug and run it though my soundcard (standard generic Soundblaster clone)? Or do I need something fancier? Like a preamp? An impedance converter?
I was even thinking of a Lightsnake converter that lets me use the USB port, but it's another $55+ taxes, so I'd rather not spend the extra if I can avoid it.
