Need Help with Microphone setup

[FrEaKy]

Currently at the moment, I plan on purchasing the following. This is what my budget could allow. I need to verify that I have everything I need and am I running this right.

So essentially, I am running the Behringer C-1 Studio Condenser Microphone using the 15' XLR cable to the Behringer PS400 Phantom Power Supply, than from there I use the 6' XLR to Stereo 3.5mm jack to my PC's input (as opposed to Microphone). Of corse I have the desk microphone stand and the pop filter as well, but is this run correctly or am I missing something........?

How good is your sound card, since that is going to determine the quality of the recording.

have you thought of getting something like this,

you won't need the PS400 with the Shure unit.

here are a couple of others that supply phantom power as well,

this requires the PS400 I believe.

I just need to know if my setup is okay really....... If I am getting what I need, or did I miss a part.... is XLR to 3.5mm okay to go with directly from the phantom power... thats what I need to know.

What you described will work fine however there are better ways of doing it with slightly different gear. You will be quickly frustrated with this setup as the gain control on a regular sound card really sucks.

This *might* work if you patch the output of the PS400 into your mic input on your computer. As far as I can tell from the Behringer site, that device only provides phantom power and is NOT a mic preamp.

I'm doubtful that patching the output of the PS400 into your line input will work, as you're taking a mic level balanced mono output and trying to send it to an unbalanced line level stereo input.
