MXL990 XLR to Phantom Power to USB?

[SiderGame]

Hello there,

 

i have recently purchased a MXL 990 XLR version.

 

I have been having trouble with the mic being too quite for people to hear me.

 

I currently have it Mic-XLRtoXLR-Phantom Power-XLRto3.5mm

 

I was wondering if i purchased XLR to USB( http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-Cable-Instruments-Microphones/dp/B0050CEEIW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8) it that would fix my issues.

 

OR, what could be causing the issues, my mic seems to receive audio, but just very quietly.

 

Thank You

You need something to inject phantom power into the connection, a single usb connection isn't enough to power that mic.

 

Something like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/422078-REG/Behringer_PS400_PS400_Phantom_Power_Supply.html

I have A NADY Audio power supply, do you think it might not be supplying enough power? it is 48v

Are you sure the audio interface is doing its job (providing phantom power, and giving good output to pc)?

 

It seems like a very good product in this video:

If its sending 48V its enough, also dont buy those xlr to usb cables they just dont work well.

You need something like this to do usb to XLR correctly

UPDATE: This is a bit embarrassing, In windows settings, for some odd reason, it defaulted to (Reduce All Inputs by 80%, so i unchecked that option and now everything is perfect Thank You guys for the help
