Real proper microphone from a karoke machine to computer?

Question

Where do I plug it in?! I have microphone slots, but they're too small and the end does not come off this microphone where the smaller end is on the end of the microphone so where do I plug it in??

I KNOW you can do this, i'm sure, I just don't know where to plug it in and don't want to damage my computer!

Answer 1

You probably need an adapter, to convert from the large plug to a smaller one. It should look something like this:

In addition to eBay, you may be able to find one at an electronics store like RadioShack.

Answer 2

hi jonathan,look at the back of your p.c you should see around 5 to 6 sockets for sound devices,3 or 4 of them are for speakers,1 is for your headphone and the final one called "line in" is for your microphone
like you said all the connectors are the small type so you need a adapter such as the Profigold Adapter, Stereo, 6.3mm Plug to 3.5mm socket(http://www.clearly-av.co.uk/PGP3106.html?mv_pc=shopzilla),this will plug into your line-in socket and you will then be able to use a standard full size microphone
also jonathan remember once you have connected your mic go to control panel>sound and audio devices>voice and run the wizard to set up your mic,you are then ready to use your mic
any problems let me know
good luck jonathan!
