Default Connecting the AKG 8000S to the PC

And it's a D8000S, so dynamic.

I'm wondering it'll be bothered by any electret bias
that's present on the sound card mic in.


No dynamic mic would like the ~5V bias voltage from
typical computer sound cards. OTOH, they typically isolate
the bias voltage on the "ring" so if you use a conventional
"mono" (sleeve & tip) plug, you bypass the bias voltage
(except during the instant when you plug it in).
