The interface then converts the analog signal to digital and feeds the audio to your PC for recording.Within USB microphones, all of the analog to digital conversion takes place within the microphone - no audio interface required. The digital signal is then fed via USB connection directly into your PC. Interested in XLR version? Explore AT2020.
