Question 1

What's included when you buy this mic? Cable? Shock mount? Or do you need to buy that somewhere else?

Accepted Answer

When you get the microphone, it comes in a nice brown, wooden box that is lined with snug black foam (it's great for transporting). They will also give you a shock mount with extra elastic bands (to be used when the bands on the shock mount stretch out). There is also a foam filter covering for your microphone (I don't recommend using that as the wind screen, though. It's extremely thick. It's more there to protect your microphone from dust) and instructions included within a soft plastic bag. You will need to buy your own XLR Female (Pin) to Male (cord) or any XLR converter that you wish (XLR to USB, etc).   I will let you know as well that the shock mount is a bit flimsy and it is a tight squeeze for the mic (you'd have to pry open the shock mount to get the microphone back out). Personally, I'm trying to find a better shock mount but it is absolutely not necessary to get a different mount.  Overall, this microphone is a quality microphone (for its price) and you truly cannot go wrong with buying it!Good luck! :)

Question 2

Does this microphone come with USB cable to plug into my laptop?

Accepted Answer

No, this does not come with USB cable to plug into laptop. This is condenser mic, you will need that XLR cable.

Question 3

what is the function of the pad switch?

Accepted Answer

It allows you to record louder instruments or singers by reducing the input sensitivity of the microphone.

Question 4

I need to know what shock mount and microphone desktop is compatible with this microphone?

Accepted Answer

Hey,

I purchased this microphone and it came with the shock mount. I imagine the shock mount can be mounted onto any basic mic stand because I was able to screw it onto my boom stand. Many stands have that capacity.

But I would still check that on the internet, nonetheless.
