Q: 1. Shure says this doesnt require phantom power.. sooo.. what does that mean? can i plug it into an xlr-usb cable and have it work fine on my pc/mac?

A: An XLR to USB cable alone would not be sufficient to convert the analog output of this mic to a digital signal that a computer can read via USB, so if you plugged it in with just the cable, your computer will not be able to detect the attached microphone and would not be able to use it for recordings. Since it is not a USB mic that has a built-in A/D converter, this item would require the use of an XLR to USB Adaptor (such as the Shure X2U) or other interface connected between the mic and computer.

Q: 2. How long is the XLR Cable that's included in the package?

A: The Mackie EM-89D EleMent Series Dynamic Vocal Microphone includes a 10 foot XLR cable.

Q: 3. Does this mic have phantom power sensing? Can I plug it into a deck with active phantom power (via XLR)?

A: This is a dynamic microphone which does not require phantom power to operate. Plugging it into a mixer, speaker or other device that has phantom power engaged will neither enhance its performance nor damage it.
