Thus getting a sort of,'Valve' pre-amp but it also has 48v Phantom power and as some 48v pre-amps alone can be the same as the Art might as well get that methinks. C-Media USB audio device such as cad u37 microphone cannot work well. See if you can swap it for a similar priced normal condenser even if that requires a 48v phantom power.For Phantom power I was going to kill two birds with one stone and get an Art pre-amp, You can open the Audio Device Settings in the Raspberry Pi. After the matter of a microphone is out of. Having a desktop microphone doesn’t eliminate the need for headphones, but the variety of headphones is great, where the variety of gaming headsets aren’t so great.
Taking all the above into account I would NOT recommend ANY USB mic for music recording,just too messy. I reached out to CAD Audio earlier this month to find out more about their u37 desktop mic and I’ve been pretty impressed so far. The bets way I got it working was to just use the USB calbe to power it but then take the analogue outout(it has a small headphone jack) into my Toneport GX interface and into Reaper. I bought a cheap Samson USB,'Go mic'.Although the sound is good it's too sensitive(May take it apart and drop in a resistor) it expects the user to use the USB and their drivers and the built in sound chip.This leads to no end of configuration setting up and all sorts of latency problems.
