To connect the PreSonus PX-1 microphone to your audio interface, follow these steps:

1. Obtain an XLR cable: You will need an XLR cable to establish a connection between the PX-1 microphone and your audio interface or preamp.

2. Locate the XLR input on your audio interface: Identify the XLR input on your audio interface or preamp. It is usually labeled as "MIC" or "XLR."

3. Connect the XLR cable: Plug one end of the XLR cable into the XLR output of the PX-1 microphone. Make sure it is securely connected.

4. Connect the other end of the XLR cable: Plug the other end of the XLR cable into the XLR input on your audio interface or preamp. Again, ensure a secure connection.

5. Phantom power handling (if required): If your PX-1 microphone requires phantom power, typically +48V, make sure your audio interface or preamp can provide this power. Enable the phantom power option on your audio interface if necessary.

6. Check the input settings: Verify that the PX-1 microphone is selected as the input source in your recording software or audio interface control panel.

Once you have completed these steps, the PreSonus PX-1 microphone should be successfully connected to your audio interface, and you can begin recording. For further details and illustrations, refer to the user manual provided with the product.
