Some of these x-fi cards have a front pannel on them if it's a desktop
model. I have two computers running them, and it has a front pannel with
quarter inch jacks.

I've got a friend who has a Shure SM58, I could borrow his and try it out.
I have a Rode M3 condenser microphone which uses a battery, so that should
work. My card is a Sound Blaster XFI titanium HD, which should have a
boost option.

Depending on whether or not your sound card had a mic boost, the volume
might be too low for a shure sm58. You can test that out. You would
definitely need phantom power for a condenser mic, unless you got a
condenser mic that could run on battery as well asphantom power.

Hello Tim,
Wouldn't the volume be too low when recording with a Shure SM58 and mini
jack converter? Also, if I want to use a standard condenser microphone,
I'd need a way of providing phantom power.

Samuel if you have a mic jack on your computer you probablydon't need a
preamp.

Hello everyone,
I am thinking of trying a Shure SM58 with a minijack adapter for
recording myself and my screen reader at the same time. However, I was
wondering, is there a preamp that will connect to the microphone jack
on my computer? I'm concerned about using a USB one, because if the
latency is too noticeable, it will be incredibly distracting. Thank
you in advance.
