I have a XLR adapter to 2 1\2 pin plug that is a mono hookup and a Beta Microphone and am having trouble getting it to work on an amp that our youth group is trying to use with several electric guitars. will this work together or do i have to use an XLR Mic?

I'm not sure I can tell what you're trying to do or what equipment you're using.

What do you mean by "2 1/2 pin plug"?  What do you mean by "a Beta Microphone"?  Do you mean something from the Shure Beta line?  If so, what microphone?  Are you trying to just plug the mic into a guitar amp or something?  And what do you mean by "do I have to use an XLR Mic?"

Could you maybe post a photo of what you're trying to do?

I'm guessing that you have a microphone with an XLR connector on it and you are trying to plug it into an amplifier that has a 1/4" mic input.

If this is true, then it appears that you are using the wrong adapter. Here is what you need.

If your microphone requires phantom power, then the adapter I recommended will not work.

A dynamic mic, like a Shure SM58, would work fine with the adapter I recommended.
