Can phantom power be switched off so I can use a dynamic mic?

Yes, the phantom power switch is on the back. I sometimes forget to power it on for my condenser mic! This really is a very slick little computer interface, I like it a lot.

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!

Phantom power is 48W to Condenser Microphones, i use MXL 990 Its nice and i enjoy work with my Berhinger UM2 and my Mic MXL

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.

No, it's a condenser mic that needs separate wired phantom power. It is a great mic though.

I don't believe it does. There is no on/off for phantom power and you wouldn't want to connect a ribbon mic to a phantom powered source, plus, only using it as a small line level mixer anyways. Sorry couldn't be more help.

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.

Since the amp has an xlr input for a microphone... yes the power supply will come in handy for a microphone that NEEDS PHANTOM power. If your mic is a condenser that doesn't have battery capability... it most likely needs phantom power. It would be rare that an amp in the category you are asking about would have phantom power available. A dynamic mic won't need phantom power and could be connected directly to the amp. A condenser mic that uses a battery won't need the power supply either. My question would be... why choose such an inexpensive "beginner" amp to use with a mic that would require phantom power (which is usually in a higher price/quality category)? Just a thought here... if you are capable of asking your question here... you are most likely capable of doing a bit of research yourself on the requirements of equipment. The manufacturers are usually very willing to help with information! Good hunting!!

Yes, this is a dynamic microphone which does not require phantom power(48 volts). Other recommendations? This is a great mic.the SM58, the SM57 is also a good choice. Any condenser mic would require phantom voltage.

No, that will not work. The Tascam provides 'plug in power', not 'phantom power'. Plug in power is not compatible with this mic. If you need a shotgun that will work with the DR-07mkII, try the AT897: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TTN3Y

No, the phantom power should come from your sound board through your microphone cable. It does not need a special cable. There is a phantom power button on analog sound boards and on digital boards it will usually have phantom power for each individual channel.

I just looked up the specs on this mic and on the Mackie unit (as can anyone). The Mackie device you specified can provide up to 10 mA per mic for phantom powering. This mic draws only 8 mA, so per each manufacturer's specs, you should be good.

You are correct, If you want it off, You have to either unplug it at the Microphone, orat the other end. OR you can just turn it way down at your Mixer or Amplifier.

yes, this mic requires phantom power. Don't know whether or not your cable requirements will work or not. This link has some more info on using xlr to 1/4 cables - http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=118204

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

Yes. All condenser mics must be supplied by phantom power at 48v at most. It's a preset of mixers, audio interfaces or preamps so that you just need to turn the switch on/off.

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.
