I run a Shure SM57 dynamic mic via a standard XLR cable to Input 1, and have great results. I have to set the SENS (just left of the mic input) to ~90% of fullscale to just get the Limit LED to occaisionally flash. I have not tried with other microphones, although I have several here. I can dig up some adaptors and try them out, if that would help.
