you need a mic pre, and addapters to convert it to the "stereo-mini" plug on your sound card. Talk to the boys at Radio Shack where you got the mic. I'm sure they will point you to the right parts.

Re: Optimus 33-8395 Follow-up Part #2

Continuing from my last message... Here are two links you may want to try which explain what's involved in adapting a pro-style microphone (XLR or 1/4" plug)to a computer sound card's mic inputs.

Keep in mind that on many (particularly the cheap ones) sound cards the mic inputs aren't exactly high-fidelity and most often of a telephone grade of sound quality. That's why I mentioned in my earlier posting the possible solution of using an external microphone / DJ mixer and using the (usually cleaner sounding) sound card's audio input instead.
