I do not know what you mean when you say "booms used in radio station studios". Can you maybe link me to one?

Maybe. Here is the link to the scissor arm i bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PR4ZFM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It comes with a build in XLR cable.

Yes, I have the phantom power switch on because without it, my mic ceases to function. What do you mean by a "good" XLR cable? I am using a standard XLR-XLR cable that came with my scissor arm.

Hi. I am currently using a Audio-Technica AT2035 running through a UX2 audio interface connected to my computer through USB and it picks me up, but I am really low. I tried messing around with the settings in POD Farm 2.0, but it didn't make a difference. I tried also to change the settings in the windows sound control panel by changing the microphone volume. Some people suggested checking the microphone boost check box, but when I do, there is no difference. There isn't even a slider to change how much it boosts. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If you would like to know just how low I am, check out this youtube video I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGEhOfaHLSI
