I suggest returning it and buying something better. Usually dynamic
mics use a 1/4" jack and condensors use an XLR.

And you can only use windscreens on dynamic mics, and never on condenser
mics. Only dynamic mics can record bird sounds, while condensers are
the only mics that will record the frequencies of the human voice.

You can easily convert
1/4" to XLR.

Actually, that would be physically impossible to do.

They both sound pretty much the same.

No. XLRs have more high end, and 1/4 have more low end.

Why not spend a
little more and get a decent Behringer or Mackie mixer with built in
preamps?

Best to get them without the preamps, and spend more to buy preamps.

At last! Someone who knows what he's talking about :-)
