These microphones are electret condenser-type, so need phantom power to function. these are excellent microphones, have a very warm sound by a hilarious price

yes all condenser microphones do use phantom power :) but these to are a great deal I've cut EP's with Just these to mics, i wasn't easy if your have a little extra $$$ then I'd say go with the blue "bluebird" mic cause it's a little more crispy and has a better high end where these 2 have a better low end frequency response but for the money this is a pretty darn good deal!

Hello. Yes there is a physical button that you can push on the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 to induce phantom power. It may not be very clear in the picture, but it is the little silver button centered below the two knobs just left of the meter bridge.

No phantom power is required; it only requires a 9v battery (in which one is supplied). However, the unit arrived defective and there was a short in the power button, so I had to keep taking the battery out and putting it back in again in order for it to continue to work. I ended up returning it. I'm not sure if this was a design flaw or we just received a bad unit. We hope this was helpful.

I have not used this unit with anything requiring phantom power, but since this is technically an isolation transformer, I would anticipate that the phantom power supply would also be isolated between the input and output, and thus the phantom power would NOT pass through this unit.

Hi, this is a dynamic mic, so it doesn't need phantom power, just needs a balanced XLR cable and a place to plug it in!

Yes it does. Make sure you turn your Phantom Power Switch on your board to use this mic.

No. The mic in the CM500 is unbalanced. It does not work with phantom power used in balanced audio circuits.

I have not tested the Nady phantom power supplys. I have used powered mics and a wireless box on it and I beleive that any mic or device that can be plugged into this cable will work. It works just like pluging a mic into an amp. I was also suprised by the sound quality when I plugged it into my laptop and my desktop.

Yes, you can use it to a non- phantom powered pa system. Even am using this microphone without Phantom power. I suppose the second part of your question truly depends on your USE, i guess in SM series (expect the condenser mic SM27, SM7B) don't use Phantom power. Here i have a link for you that might help, http://www.shure.com/americas/products/microphones thats all i kno. Hope it helps you

Yes. There is a button (48V) on the back to turn it on and off. I have used it. It works. From NI's website: 48V phantom power for condenser mics and active DI boxes

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!

Yes, it does, works great! You need a microphone that has a battery to power it for the best results. Mics that require phantom power will not work. Great camera, one of the only ones I found with a 1/8" mic input

It needs phantom power. If your system doesn't have phantom power you can ad a phantom power unit. There are some available on amazon.

Yes, it has a phantom power switch so that phantom power can be turned on or off.
