Microphone is from T.Bone USB 1X usb - xlr
I tested it in apple settings, garageband and logic pro. No where gets the sound in.
I think i’m missing a driver cause other usb with documents on it do work well.

All the settings right... You mean like selecting the input to be the USB mic in system preferences/sound/input?

So that's an XLR to USB? What mic is connected? Have you tried a different mic?

If you have a usb to xlr adapter and other mics work then the drivers seem to be correct. Does the mic that does not work possibly require phantom power?

Yes thats what i meant with settings right.

The Manufactury said it should work directly but i am convinced im missing something too.

Im going to email them and ask if i need a phantom power.

Commonly, there are three types of mics sold. Here are the relevant details.

  • Dynamic. Requires no extra power to work.
  • Condenser with onboard battery. Requires power so the battery or batteries must have a charge.
  • Condenser. Requires 48v phantom power. The power has to be provided from a connected device such as preamp, mixer or digital interface.
There may be specially designed USB condenser mics that require less power but get it via the USB port. I don't know! Definitely not what you have.

The USB connected Thomann device does NOT provide phantom power.
