does this Mic require phantom power or battery

No, this is a dynamic (condenser) mic, it does not require batteries; it needs to be connected with a cable (XLR). This mic is usually used for instruments.

No it is not a condenser, it's a dynamic mic, it requires no phantom power, +48V

Hi David,No, the GLS Audio ES-57 (and ES-58 & ES-58-S) mics do not require phantom power or a battery. They are "dynamic" mics. Generally a "condenser" mic would require phantom power or a battery. If your system provides phantom power it will not damage the GLS Audio microphones. They will still function 100% perfect with or without phantom power. This may not be true for all mics, so be careful with other brands when supplying phantom power. Check with the manufacturer before you supply phantom power to other brands of microphones.Best Regards,Bryan SundaGLS Audio800-897-8373 Hi David,No, the GLS Audio ES-57 (and ES-58 & ES-58-S) mics do not require phantom power or a battery.

You have to use a single AA battery. I'm not sure if it can run off of phantom power.

The mic has a male XLR connector (mic level output). It does not need a battery or phantom power. You will need an adapter to go from XLR to 1/8" mini, but it should work fine.

Hello out there in radio land! No this is not a power mic and needs no batteries. It is a good sounding mic. Good luck

Phantom power is produced by audio mixer or mic preamp, or phantom power unit. There is no XLR cable MtF that can produce phantom power by itself. Please check your mixer, it should have a 48v button.

it gets the phantom power from usb. No power supply. Im not sure if its a full 48v not manny mics actually require 48v

I have no idea, it's a mike with jack as seen, yet if you are asking if it needs preamping ... apparently not if your amp already equipped; doesn't seem to require phantom power.

I am going to guess your mic is phantom powered? if so i would see if it says that in its description, I really am not sure otherwise

Phantom power is the 48V power required for condenser mics like these to work. It's usually supplied by a mixer, preamp, or audio interface and carried through standard XLR cables. You'll need to check that whatever you connect these mics to provides phantom power.

No it does not supply any phantom power.. there is no battery or power supply in this unit. It is passive.It gives you the ability to control you audio levels with very easy to get to controls. Gives you the ability to switch your inputs to line or mic, which will give you better sounding audio if you match your inputs! I use it because my outputs are professional(XLR), but the inputs in DSLR's are pro-sumer(1/8 stereo mini). It is very hard to control you audio level from a DSLR camera. The device also fits under the camera securely and looks very professional,versus having all these adapters and cables hanging out all over the cam just waiting to get pulled out!

With pre-amp no need phantom power. Is a dynamic microphone, an economic option for amateur use. If you need a condenser micro, buy condenser micro.

NO. This microphone apparently requires "plug-in power" which my ASUS Z87-plus motherboard doesn't seem to have. When I bought this mic, I found a review that said "no battery needed" but I didn't realize that it has special requirements

Typically Phantom power is used to power hand held/corded microphones. You willnot needor wantto usePhantom power since you will be using a microphone that has its own power.

It doesn't utilize a battery, it uses power from your camera. You do control whether your mic is on or off (if it's off, you'll record from the camera mic), and the direction the sound capturing takes.

It does need phantom power. Your board should be able to provide that. If it is not able to supply phantom power you will need something like the Behringer ps400. That will supply the necessary power for the mic to operate.

The trouble with phantom power is the USB mixers don't provide much power--only 15V. Most HQ mics require 48V. The AT2035 only requires a minimum of 11V--so that's compatible. A dynamic powered mic may be the way to go...As stated earlier--the Shure SM 58 is the most popular for a reason.

Yes, theoretically it should because it is a dynamic microphone and doesn't require phantom power. If you have the right adapter it should work, but you will pic up notice from touching the microphone since it doesn't have very shock absorbent built in. I'm pretty sure there are better options like a clip mic that wouldn't require an adapter.
