Hello, Does this adapter reduce voltage from phantom to plug-in power?. My mic: Rode smartlav+ with Tascam dr40. I can't record anything!!. Thanks.

If I remember correctly on how this is wired, it will short out the phantom power since pin 1 & 3 are connected. I wouldn't use this adapter with phantom power, it's not designed for it, and could potentially harm the recorder.

Yes. That's right. On the back is a single power plug-in (adapter included,) an XLR mic IN and XLR mic OUT for powering a single phantom 48-volt mic.

looks like it, yes.Theres an aux mic port on the camera and XLR M slot on the mic.What you need to worry is if the mic needs whats called phantom power. In the specs for the Microphone you specified has specs that says "requirements: phantom power 11v-52v" This power is needed for the sensativity quality for the mic. I had this problem with my PC to CAD mic. Also while you may need phantom power I recommend longer aux cables to reach, depending on what you're doing with it.

It's not a condenser, so it doesn't need 48v. I've used it with my basic guitar amplifier, which doesn't have phantom power. You can use it with anything you would use a normal dynamic mic

This mic needs phantom power, usually present in mixing boards, dont know what your audio interface actually is.

I have not tried used phantom power on every channel, only 2 , and did not hunt down where they were. the way the manual is written all 24 xlr channels have phantom power. http://www.behringer.com/assets/SX3242FX_SX2442FX_M_EN.pdf page 5 under mic pre amp

Yes, the XLR input has phantom power. It's always on. I.e. There is no switch to turn on or off the phantom power.

It actually outputs 48V, so there is a substantial risk of damaging your mic if it's maximum voltage is 10V. However, you could separately purchase a 5 or 9 volt power supply for your mic and turn the ART amp's phantom power off. Since USB works in the voltage range that you mentioned, I will also point out that this is not designed to work with a USB microphone.

I plugged my XLR cable into a ART preamp, which I then had another XLR cable from out the back of the preamp plugged into a Firewire audio interface. Remember this microphone needs 48v Phantom Power to work properly.

I just got three of these. My Peavey amp puts out 48v DC phantom power. I crossed my fingers and plugged up one of my condenser mics and turned on the phantom power. I had no problems. It worked fine. The 16v limit is for the remote power/monitor input. The mic out is clearly labled 'mic thru' for pass-through. And in the manual it says, "for condenser or dynamic microphones."

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.

Bobby, as I understand it, some mics need more voltage to work properly than others so I hesitate to say for sure without having used it myself. I can tell you for certain it works with the Audio Technica 875r and the Audio Technica AT899 Lav (which comes with it's own phantom power adapter anyway.. ) and it does just fine. In theory it should work with any mic that requires phantom power and uses a standard 3-pin XLR plug, but I admit I have not tried it with a lot of different mics.

It is dual power - AA battery can stay in the tube while it runs off phantom power, or no battery and phantom power. Just be sure your board or recording gear can supply phantom power, and that you use a good quality XLR to XLR cable to connect. I've read reports of somewhat degraded quality when using XLR to unbalanced plug (1/4" phone for example), and that will not, of course, supply phantom power.

Yes it does require phantom power. I'm pretty sure all condensers do. Regular xlr cables work. The power comes from your mixer or recorder.

The only application I'm familiar with that uses phantom power are microphones that need a power supply to run. These are usually high quality condenser mics (most notably Neumanns though there are many inexpensive models) You shouldn't be having a hum problem with a phantom powered mic. (Typically 48 volts). If you are, something is wrong with your board, your BALANCED mic cable or the mic itself. That said, it is an excellent device for standard line levels (-10 db and +4 db) where GROUND LOOP hum is a problem.

not only is this NOT USB, but you cannot use an adapter,,, unless it is going into an audio interface that accepts USB - AND - that USB port is able to supply phantom power. You can not just plug this mic into your computer and it expect it to work.

I purchased this to convert my xlr mic so that I could plug it into an amp. It did actually fit my xlr mic, but I was still unable to use the amp because my mic uses phantom power. I hope this helps!
