Hey Guys,
I have some quick questions about setting up a mic and guaranteeing balanced signals. So my previous set-up was laptop->audio 2->speakers via something like

However with this set-up I couldn't add in a mic and I don't think my signal was balanced.
With recent gigs though, I found myself more and more needing a mic so I bought a behringer mixer and a microphone. Something like [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-502-XENYX502-5-Channel-Mixer/dp/B000J5UEGQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1321305713&sr=1-5"]Amazon.com: Behringer XENYX502 5-Channel Mixer: Musical Instruments@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ITOfwOVXL.@@AMEPARAM@@51ITOfwOVXL[/ame]
and

However, no matter how hard I try I can't get my microphone to work. At first I thought it was because I needed an xlr connection, so I bought an xlr adapter for the microphone that converts the 1/4 to xlr, but even then I the microphone doesn't work.
Any ideas, am I missing something? Is it possible I simply got a defective mic?
Thanks so much!
