Will run this into my home PC - only thing left is finding a DAW I can easily worth with. The simpler the better..

Would appreciate any thoughts on the above - thanks!
Assuming its a standard mic cable, it will be XLR(female) to XLR(male). The female end connects to the mic (if you look at the mic connector, you'll see 3 pins) and the male end to the Scarlett.

The Scarlett will connect to your computer by USB - use one of the rear USB ports, rather than one of the front ones. You'll need to go to the Focusrite web site and download the correct drivers for your O/S (Windows ___). Install the drivers first, then plug in the Scarlett.
In your DAW (whatever you choose) you will need to select the Scarlett as your audio input and output device. Speakers (monitors) and headphones should be plugged into the Scarlett, not your computer's audio ports.
