Condenser mics are great, they make you, or your instrument, larger than life, however, they are not “plug and play”, like a dynamic mic, they need phantom power. Although there’s no way to use a condenser mic without phantom power, you can use a condenser mic without an audio interface, or mixing board, straight to your computer. To do that you need you need an XLR to USB pre amp, such as the MXL Mic Mate Pro. MXL Mic Mate Pro is a pre amp that connects straight to your condenser mic and with a USB cable straight to your computer. It has gain control and a phone output jack for zero latency monitoring.
