nooo!!! Apex 950 mic not compatible w/ Tascam US 122

It will work with the 1/4 inch cable you have (this is how I'm interpreting "plugs into guitar amp"). However, it will work a little better (little louder/less hum), if you upgrade the mic cable to XLR-to-XLR (female to male) and use the US122's XLR input for the mic. Either way, you're okay.

this is all i need i think and them i think im ready to make some purchases

Unless I missed something, the page that you have for your mic says that the cable type that comes with it is a XLR to XLR. So you should be all set.

gnease i think i have the right cable now its this right?

ye i no its weerd i think he (my friend) has an older versioin of the microphone or he just doesnt have that cable anymore because i saw it it is deffinetly the type of cable size that plugs into a amp

thanks tho,

I thought you were buying it new.

Greg said you need a XLR to XLR - Female to Male cable. The cable you just put up is a Comprehensive Mini Female to 3-pin XLR Female Cable. Which is a female to female cable.

sorry guys....i think this is the one that will work...its female to male...it doesnt make a difference female to male or male to female right? well here it is:

I think this is the one you want -XLR female to XLR male

The one you just put up should be fine but, as Greg said, the XLR to XLR would have a better sound.

alrigh tthanks guys im gunna go to steves music and go buy these cables i will bring the mic so i no im gettnig th eright thing :)

thanks alot

You'll need a standard XLR male to female mic cable. E-bay Cables

You'll see they can be purchased for less than $15.00

maxo, if you're gonna buy just one mike to start recording with, I'd recommend that you go with a Shure SM-57. It's an excellent all purpose mike you can use for just about any recording task and get a decent sound with Plus, you can use it for live gigs. It even makes do as a light hammer in a pinch (no.... I'm NOT kidding).

Yes, it costs more than the one you're looking at, but it will be a mike you won't outgrow, and will still be serving you well 15 years from now, like my venerable pair of SM-57's.

Save yourself some frustration and spring for the extra cash.
