USB connection
« on: Friday 10 February 12 13:32 GMT (UK) »
I wish to connect a microphone to a piece of equipment that has no USB inlet. It does have an ethernet connection.

Is there an adaptor which will enable me to do this?

regards,,

dixons

Nope!
But if it has a make and model I could find out.
Or even what is it?

Yes, it would help if you were more explicit as to what you're trying to connect to what. The majority of microphones can't be connected directly to USB although there are ways of doing so and its difficult to think of a modern device which has ethernet but not USB.

Amazon sells these but NO IDEA if they will work for you, or if they fit the way you want to go.

Given that there are a great number of devices with an ethernet connection, not all have the facility to accept a microphone input! - My Blue Ray player as an example.

USB Microphone adaptor  Whether it will work with a RJ45 USB adaptor is a matter of trial but I doubt it.

Until 'dixons' comes back and tells us what this "piece of equipment" is, there is no way of knowing whether anything will work.  My Home Cinema Amplifier has both a USB and an ethernet connection, but connecting a microphone (via any sort of adaptor) would not work at all, because the software wouldn't support it.

Quite agree, but until you try something you won't know if it will work and for just a few pounds outlay it's worth testing. As dixons has not come back, it seems like he/she may have fixed it elsewhere!

I've scratched me 'ead, removed the splinters, and I can't recall anyone using a microphone via an ethernet connection.

I haven't tried it, but it might be possible to network to another device which does have an audio input. However, without knowing the intended application, that might be defeating the object.
