20 Most Recent M-Audio M AUDIO MOBILE PRE - USB MIC PREAMP Microphone Questions & Answers

Hi micoach
The condenser mic you are using requires phantom power for it to operate. Pay to check that that is turned on m-audio. Just to be sure.you say you can get sound off the m-audio headphone socket. Just need to check that. You will need to check that you have selected the device for recording from the preferences--audio I/O options menu within audacity. Perhaps check these things and get back to me here if you still have problems.I can go into more detail with you.

This is normal for recording. Even professionals do the same. What you need is to set your input to mono(either hardware or software), or explore your software look for effects like STEREO to MONO with some delay which I prefer for my recording. I did have a good result. Good Luck

Give yourself enough headroom before clipping by preadjusting the recording volume control. Try recording the loudest passage and making note of what your VU meter is indicating. Adjust your volume control accordingly. Try to maintain a uniform distance from the microphone and use a windscreen. There is a great site at www.dancetech.com with links to other sites with all the info you will probably need. Hope this helps.

Make sure the M-audio software has mono checked in the box.

first u have to locate he noise but removing components such as guitar, amp, fx and a big one is usually florescent lights or bad ground

they should be able to but it might void the warranty, if new just send it back or dont use headphone jack on unit use another device to plug in, or open it up and put the jack back 

Im having the same probz, got a Hp Pavilion Vista using mobile pre amp usb when i record using a condenser mic XLR nothing is picked up from the channels in Cubase or Nuendo. Im trying to record vocals but the Mic is not picked up and i cannot hear myself in the headphones and it wont transfere to cubase.

It has worked before when i had a desktop, but this only worked with a separate m-audio sound card inside the desktop and i plug in the output jax leads from the desktop (soundcard) to the m-audio usb pre amp

Is this why it is not working for the laptop do i need a Jax connection and where is this audacity

unless you bass is a stero model... and there are only very few out there that are, then you may be using channel setup for stereo use. change it back to a monochannel. but be sure that you also have the output of that channel panned to the center or you will always have left or right output only. Or mono as I assume you are desribing. Hit me back if you want to know more about it.

You should be able to plug your headphones into your computer and get sound that way, assuming your USB mic is plugged in. If the mic is a USB - direct mic (that is, if it is a microphone with a USB cable directly attached), you will only be able to use it with your PC or laptop. If the device is a mic pre-amp (with an XLR or 1/4" connector that your mic PLUGS INTO), then you should be able to use your microphone with any device that will accept that connection type.

If you are sure of what you are doing then replace the capacitor and any other capacitors with a blown/distorted top.These capacitors are polarised capacitors and must be inserted/soldered correctly in place. The stripe on the capacitor is the negative lead.

How sure are you that't you tweeter and not a contact cable or, sunce they use cheap xhinese capacitors on the m-audio, just a capacitor has dead. Don't buy a tweeter, since they very often die and check the inputs , especially TRS amd rca and unscrew the the backplate and you'll notice that the cables and connectors used are cheapio. So it worth to check the pcb,s if you see broken caps. Which wouldn't surprise me , since their cheap once. And before buy another tweeter, first try it out on another small amplifier, to see if it works. Buying a new ine is the last fase, they ask high prices for a 10 dollar unit. Where did you buy it and how old is the unit? Greetings richard

The mics I have seen don't have a filter... but a lot of mixers do have a 100Hz mic input filter. Check the other equipment that you are using also.

Tweeter just may need to be replaced. Is all the sound coming only from the woofer?
