Male Xlr Adapter

Why doesn't my microphone work?
I have a AKG C 2000B
http://www.woodbrass.com/images/woodbrass/AKG+C2000.JPG
plugged into a Monster 1/4" stereo MALE-to-XLR FEMALE inline adapter
http://di1.shopping.com/images/pi/82/d1/12/40490183-177x150-0-0.jpg
plugged into a
1/4" Phone-to-1/8" (I don't know if its Stereo or Phone) converter
plugged into a
1/8" stereo phone jack-to-1/8" stereo phone plug
plugged into my computer.
and my mic doesn't work.
No dumb answers Cassie.
David - A good choice would be for you to get a USB audio interface with phantom power. It is designed to do exactly what you are trying to do and it will work great:

The mic plugs into the mic input on the interface with a standard XLR mic cable and then the interface connects to your computer via USB - very easy.

Soundboard>mini dv camera.?
I am shooting (videoing) a wedding this Sunday. I want to take an XLR feed from the soundboard and run it to the 1/8" mini jack on my camera. What kind of cable/connector/adapter would I need to do this. It has been a while since I have used a soundboard so i forget if the output is via a male or female port.
Thanks
Where can I find a relatively cheap digital recorder with a 1/4" or a 1/8" line in?
You'll have to get a converter/transformer, or a special type of Direct Box to step the balanced signal down to an unbalanced 1/4" and then get a 1/4" to 1/8" jack. If your lucky, you can get all those at a Radioshack, but the transformers aren't always easy to find. I've never seen one, but you may find a converter that goes straight from XLR to 1/8" unbalanced.
If your more lucky, you shouldn't have to run from XLR on the board, since RCA and 1/4" outputs are common on them. But I'm guessing that you're using the XLR out because you won't be close to the board, and have to rely on a long cable run. However, all those connections "can" produce electrical artifacts that may interfere with the signal.
Also going into a 1/8" jack on most camcorders means that the camcorder uses AGC (automatic gain control). If you can't override it, try if you can, to get as much practice before hand recording and getting the audio level correct, becuase the camera's AGC can create a lot of unwanted hiss, distortion, or audio that sounds like someone is jerking the volume dial up and down.
When I shot weddings, I used a Minidisc Recorder to capture the audio, which allowed me more freedom on camcorder placement. As long as I tested the levels first, my audio feeds were impeccable. It also allowed me to control the ambience of the final soundtrack, since I could mix between a direct feed and what the camera's mic picked up, and therefore getting the audio similar to what it really sounded like.
Redundancy is always a good policy on a live shoot, since anything can go wrong at the last minute. If you have a recorder that is digital, or keeps time code like a VCR, it never hurts to use them as backups. Unless the board is very limited on outputs, you may want to consider hooking up a secondary recording device. Most people don't have digital recorders, but VCR tape works great. Just don't use audio cassette, since syncing it with video is a nightmare.






























What camera model? What microphone?
