DVFORGE MicPlug USB Adapter for Microphone

With more people using recording software, like Apple's GarageBand or Logic, to build music tracks at home, there is an entirely new approach for connecting instruments and microphones to the computer, something much smaller and simpler than anything else that's available. Connect any XLR mic to any modern computer using a simple USB cable with the MicPlug. The MicPlug is built for connecting your dynamic microphone to a computer for home recording, or for live play-through. It has an XLR connector, and works with any audio software that accepts a 16-bit, 48KHz USB audio signal. The clarity and cleanliness of the analog to digital conversion, and the low-latency are good enough for professional recording usage. The MicPlug is the ideal method for getting solid digital audio from a microphone into a computer.
Customer Review: Works, but not very rugged.
I was very happy with this unit the first few days, and then in popped in half. It still works, but I had to tape it back together. (This was not from abuse; it's just simple plastic that snaps together and it's awkward enough getting it in and out of a microphone stand with a Shure mic that a bit of pressure was all it took.) Audio quality was okay, but I kept having problems with distortion, Going back to my M-Audio Ozone was much much nicer -- so it's probably the cheapness of the MicPlug. For the price, though, it's hard to beat and I'm glad I have it (if it had not snapped in two ;-).
