There is no point in getting XLR gear until you know that you need it.

Thanks, Dick. Since the AT2005USB

At any rate, you should be able to tell if your mic is balanced by the

Dick,
The AT2005USB has both USB-C and XLR ports

You have said earlier that the microphone is connected by USB to your

Yeah. I don't expect it to be 1:1 analog, but this is what I mean by not
having something

When you record, can you monitor the mic input in alsamixer such that you
can watch some gui mic volume input bar respond to your voice? Just to see
if the meter is only moving a lil' bit or if it's spiking. Not very

Mike,
Actually, I do. Playing music via audacious (even live recordings which tend
