Ive purchased a Behringer PA system. It has a Neutrik connection I believe. The mic is XLR - is that correct? Can I get a lead that has different connections?

The connector on the pa system looks like a combined XLR and 1/4" jack connector. The microphone is XLR. You need a standard XLR lead or XLR to 1/4" jack lead.

The manual says

MIC/LINE INPUTS (Channels 1 and 2) Route line-level(4)input signals into these combination jacks using XLR, balanced ¼" TRS, or unbalanced ¼" TS connectors.

I have an xlr male to female lead but this wont fit? So do I need an xlr to TS connector?

Are you asking if your XLR lead will fit or saying it will not? The connector on the Behringer will take either a male XLR or a 1/4" jack (probably mono type).
