In this video we demonstrate that XLR to USB cables only work for one type of microphone. We use the Shure SM58, Shure SM7B, and AKG C3000B to demonstrate what microphone type works with this cable/adapter.
Quick Answer: It depends on the specific XLR to USB cable that you use. Most of them will work fine with dynamic microphones. However, since they don’t supply phantom power, you will not be able to use a condenser microphone.
If you’re wanting to Connect an XLR Mic to your computer we recommend getting at least a two channel audio interface, which will cost you $80-200 or you can rent one for around $25/day.
