Since you have the phantom power on (in the Behringer) it should all behave itself. I couldnt see on the photos of your Manli mike, but does it have any pad switches? Many condenser mics do have pads to reduce overall level if it is too hot for the input to your system. FWIW it is fairly unusual to have a mic that overloads the interface that much. Have you got a regular dynamic mic like a SHure SM58 or 57 to compare it with? Obviously, switch the Phantom power off before hooking up a dynamic mic.

Wow - I went back & had a better look & this really is an odd bird.
Nowhere in that ad does it explain how you can use it straight into a laptop with e 3.5 mm jack connector, so who knows?

Frankly you would be better off with just a straight condenser mic from elsewhere. Plenty of cheap ones out there, but you might also want to consider a decent dynamic mic instead. Assuming you stick with recording songs, at least something like an SM57 or 58 will always be worth something and always be useful, if not ideal for your vocals.
