I have a SoundBlaster Live sound card with the Live Drive option. The Live Drive has a 1/4" mic in/line in jack. I believe this jack is TRS (tip, ring, sleeve). This unit has the capability to install a jumper on the board to set it up for dynamic mics, which I installed. I'd like to hook my Shure SM-57 dynamic mic to this jack, but I'm not positive how to do this. The S/Blaster help guide gives the wiring as pins 1-mic in, 2-analog ground, 3-mic bias, but I can't figure out how this relates to TRS jacks. I wrote to Shure and they couldn't answer the question. The mic has an XLR connector with pin 2 as the hot line. I don't want to fry my new sound card or the mic, so the question is: What should the SM-57 XLR to the SoundBlaster Live Drive 1/4'' mic in jack cable wiring be? Or.. How does pins 1,2,3 in the help guide relate to tip, ring, sleeve on the Live Drive Jack. Any help would be appreciated.
