Doesn’t look like I can just plug it into my computer. I think I need to buy more stuff to use the 3DIO?.. I’m so confused…;; (Patreon)

Can't help you there, never had a 3DIO ;-; maybe a specific adapter is needed ?

Do you have a 3.5mm audio jack on your laptop? The 3DIO cable is a 3.5mm to 1/4 splitter cable, so if your laptop has a 3.5mm jack all you need is a robust 3.5mm cable.

Seems that way. A mixing console might be the cheapest? This is what I could gather from the 3dio manual page online. How to Use All 3Dio FS microphones, like most microphones, are designed to be used with a digital recorder, camera, audio interface, or plugged into a mixing console. The microphone cannot be plugged directly into a computer or smart phone without first being connected to preamplifier of some sort. A preamplifier is an electronic device (often integrated into a camera, digital recorder, or audio interface) that boosts a weak signal coming from a microphone. A preamplifier can also be purchased as a separate stand-alone unit. In order to capture the audio signal coming from the 3Dio microphone, you will need a device to record with. Many digital recorders include a preamplifier built in. If you are plugging any 3Dio FS model directly into an audio interface or mixing console, you will also need a device to record the audio to. This can be achieved with a computer, analog tape machine or digital studio workstation (many workstations feature built-in preamplifiers).

There seems to be decent ones you can get on Amazon without breaking the bank. From what I can see there's an elgato wave XLR on sale at bestbuy's website for 130

Yea it needs a sound mixer so u can adjust the frequencies since the microphone is super sensitive it would probably break headphones w how loud sumthings will be
