If you are using a USB microphone that is not on this list, please submit the make and model to us prior to completing the System User Test and we will advise on whether we will accept it for testing.

Audio Interfaces

Due to the numerous A to D converters available in the market, we are not able to offer tech support for all of them. However, we do have a few approved A to D converters for use with our system which will work correctly.

If you would like to use your analogue XLR microphone and you don’t own an acceptable A to D converter, the below have been approved:

• Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface.
• CEntrance MicPort Pro.

If you want to use an analogue microphone connected via an XLR we do have one approved XLR to USB converter you can use; it is an affordable item which is why we tested and approved it.

• Shure X2U XLR-to-USB Signal Adapter

It supports phantom power required microphones as well.

Note - You must still do a system test with this connection so that we can check the recording quality.
