the console to the microphone. Can anyone help?

%% You need a standard, passive *transformer" DI thingey - such a
thingey
blocks DC on the XLR doodad. Then you also need an XLR mic cord Y
adapter thingey doodad that allows the mic to connect to both the DI
and the board.

So, the signal goes to the board from the mic, then also via a
parallel
split to the DI and from one of its jacks to the stage amp.
Turn it up to 11 for maximum effect.
