XLR microphones are analog devices that require an XLR cable that feeds the analog signal to an audio interface. The interface then converts the analog signal to digital and feeds the audio to your PC for recording. - Condenser Microphones
Typical condenser microphones use a lightweight membrane/diaphragm and a fixed plate that act as a capacitor. Sound pressure causes this thin membrane to move. This movement changes the capacitance of the circuit creating an electrical signal. The signal is the n captured through your recording device or amplified by a powered speaker.
