Does this mic require any kind of additional power (phantom or such), or can i plug it straight into my amp?

We use it for church with power packs,so I am not sure if it will plug right into an amplifier.

Yes, it is an electret condenser and they always require an external power supply. It appears to require only about 1 volt, or so, but it functions well on the 12 volt or higher phantom standards most mice get on a professional PA. I hope that this is helpful!

No additional power is needed. Just plug it in any 3.5mm transmitter and it won't let you down. It's clear, comfortable. I know it comes with an additional plug but I didn't need it.

All microphones require a cable to plug into the soundboard or other device. This is a MIC LEVEL XLR connection to your input. It does not require Phantom power like a condenser mic would.

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!

Any XLR cable will pass phantom power but the cable doesn't produce it. You have to use an audio interface that features phantom power and then turn it on with a switch. Most interfaces have it but some do not so be careful. Using the shortest possible (and best) cable is still a good idea. Enjoy the mic, it's a keeper for our studio.

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

Oh , no the power comes from the phantom box which has it's own supply the extra xlr is just to send the signal from the mic to the amp

This mic requires phantom power from a mixer board. Will not work without phantom power. There are some external phantom power boxes you can purchase that are not expensive.

Well, it does have a mic input, but I don't think it's got phantom power (not sure about this but I've only seen phantom power with XLR connectors, not with the standard headphones connector), and you need it for your mic unless it's the usb version. If it's the XLR version then this won't be of any use for you since your mic won't work without the phantom power. I recommend you get a Mbox or anything similar.

This preamp is strictly for MM cartridge turntables. The mic you bought requires a MIC preamp with XLR input connectors and phantom power. See the Wikis for these terms if they are unfamiliar. The Amazon listing for this mic claims it can be plugged directly into a computer sound card mic input; this seems unlikely...

no, they don't require phantom power. P.S. DON'T purchase these mics if you want to use them more than once. you definitely get what you pay for. I bought 8 and EVERY ONE broke by the end of a 12 performance show. the wiring is so flimsy, that any little thing will tear them apart. VERY CHEAP!

By phantom power, do you mean for a microphone? Answer would be no, this is aimed at just instrument amplification. You could look at the Fender Passport mini, which has dedicated channel for mic. I think it is about $20 more, very similar to the mini but has that channel and still have access to great Fender Fuse settings tweaking. I'd get one to haul back to Asia, but didn't have room. Next time for me. Here is link: http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Passport-Mini-Portable-System/dp/B00AWMR9SC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368410621&sr=8-1&keywords=fender+passport+mini

You need something that provides phantom power for this mic. It may be included in the recorder you are plugging into (or amp/speaker), but otherwise you will need a preamp for it.

This is an XLR dynamic mic with no phantom power. Unless you are right no top of it, it needs a mic preAmp. The quality is good for an inexpensive mic, but not on par with a professional vocal performance mic like a Shure SM58. If you want to use it to record into a USB hub, your connection would probably look like this: Mic > preAmp > mixer > DA/Converter-USB > PC. The preAmp is optional but probably a good idea.

this mic needs +48 volts(phantom power), you will need a pre-amp with phantom power that will work with reason(most will but check with maker)

This mic needs amplified power, mainly powered from wireless head set transmitter to and receiver. Plugging direct into camera will not be a good choice for this mic.

yes, you will need additional equipment. If you want something that plugs directly into the mac you want a USB mic. The other poster is not accurate, you dont just need phantom power, you need an a/d converter as well (which is included in the profire 2626). There are lots of different boxes with that capability, but if you want to plug directly into the mac, get a usb mic.
