Second what Robert said. You shouldnât need to preamp your USB mic. You can
adjust the input gain in the operating system setting and recording
software.
If you had a standard studio microphone it would have an XLR output. Then
youâd need an interface with a preamp. In the same price range as Behringer
are Roland and M-Audio units if you are looking at options.
