Connecting a microphone to your PC allows you to record audio, communicate with others, and participate in video conferences. Whether you’re using a desktop or laptop computer, the process of connecting a microphone is relatively straightforward.
There are two main types of microphone connectors: 3.5mm and XLR. 3.5mm connectors are commonly found on consumer-grade microphones, while XLR connectors are typically used for professional applications. If you’re not sure which type of connector your microphone has, consult the product documentation.
