Q: 8. Can you recommend an Audio Interface suitable for hmdc27?

A: There are numerous options for a USB audio interface that can be used to connect the Sennheiser HMDC 27 Professional Broadcast Headset and Cable to a computer. One of the most popular models is the Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface (B&H # FOSCARSOLO3GO), and the Arturia MiniFuse 1 Portable 1x2 USB Type-C Audio Interface (B&H # ARMINIFUSE1B) is another good option. The headset's mic connects to the XLR input on the interface while the headphones connect to the unit's 1/4" TRS headphone jack.
