How many mics operates on this, and does it work with the +48v mics... My system isnt +48v but i use the +48v phantom power supply

I agree with Thomas. Anti-feedback and EQs are line-level devices and definitely don't deliver phantom power. Typically, you'd use this device between a mixer and an amp such as a front-of-house amp or monitor amp. You could use this, I guess, as an insert to a channel on the mixer, but that would be a pretty unusual hookup. You can download the manual from Behringer (http://www.behringer.com/assets/FBQ1000_P0A3R_M_EN.pdf) which shows typical hookups.

It's not intended for mics to be connected directly to it (at least that is what the documentation says - no phantom power)... if you need that then consider the Shark DSP 110. My band uses this for live sound. At the moment we are running the left and right house channels from our mixing board through the FBQ1000. We've only used it for a couple of gigs so far, but it has worked great.The FBQ1000 only protects two channels.

That's funny, cos in spite of what Mister Turbation has stated, plugging a mic directly into mine works great. I'll plug a mic into a GUITAR amp, cos it sounds better that way for the trashy 60s garage/punk alternative type of stuff we do, and this works on THAT, even. Clean channel only of course...I don't think there's anything that could keep a mic from howling were it plugged into an amp's dirty channel...Now I'm no sound man, so maybe the intended purpose wasn't to plug mics directly in, but I didn't know that. But even pushing my luck with it that way still works.

You cannot plug mics into it. You can plug a mixer into it, but it is a loop. Mixer-fbq1000-return to mixer.

You don't normally connect microphones to the FBD. Mics need to connect to a mixer. The output of the mixer then goes to the FBD, which then goes to the amplifiers. I suppose you can connect a single microphone if that's all you need, but you don't have any volume control or anything. Also, there is no phantom power on FBD.

Any microphone that requires 48v phantom power wlil have an xlr male connector on it. The inputs on this power supply are 3 pin female xlr jacks and the outputs are 3 pin xlr male jacks. The three pins allow the signal to be "balanced". Mirror images of the audio signal travel on pins 2 and 3 while pin 1 is a shield.to reduce external induced signals.

This unit is not something you'd purchase from Radio Shack or a consumer electronic store but then again you never know. The cable you'd use would have an XLR jack on it. Actually 2 a male and female. Then you'd use any mic you want that takes a XLR cable. XLR jack have 3 prongs ok? Consumer mics have either a 1/4 jack or mini 1/8 jack which gives you a ot of noise. Some people want that when they want a lo fi sound. So it's not the mic but the cable. And yeah it has 48 volts of Phantom power.

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.

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 provided by your audio board or mixer. Does have better response. Make sure mouth and mike are in close proximity. Works will.

Even though it is a condenser microphone in which all condenser mics usually need phantom power (+48v) no, not this one because I'm assuming that you're going to be running the microphone on a strong enough power source such as a modern windows computer (2006 and up) or on MAC which is without a doubt powerful enough. I've used this microphone back in 2011 on a eMachines T5226 desktop computer which was built in late 2007 and it worked great for my small-room (Home Recording Studio). GO! for it. But if you want a bit of better quality/frequency response...GO! for the MXL 770 or MXL 990.

the phantom power should be sufficient for your condenser mic. I wouldn't count on using this interface for anything more than a demo though.

You have what we call a 48v Phantom Power Mic Which means... Firat of all ots a great mic and second, you need serious power puahing the mic to it's potential and that can only be achieved with an 'Audio Interface.' The a sort of mic you have is to good and powerful to just be powered with a simple cable such as this. I ran into the same problem. I learnt the hard way as well.

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.

This microphone does require phantom power. My board provides +48 V and it works flawlessly.

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

It works great for any microphone needing phantom power which, i'm pretty sure includes the Rode NTG3. It does not however, run on batteries. It comes with it's own 18volt power supply but if you plan on using your mic for photography and need to move around, then you probably want something else. Good luck :-)

As far as I know, if it puts out 48V, it'll work. If the preamp doesn't do phantom power, it won't work.

Your going to need some more gear. This is a "Pro" style mic, with an XLR connector on it, and it want 48 volts (or there about) to power it.Look for a small mixer with Phantom power. There are lots out there in the $100 or less category. You'll like having the mixer for a lot of uses.

I think that would work - obviously you would leave the 48v. Switch off. It is a solid preamp and I operated a low punch dynamic microphone with it. You must plug into the USB port to power up the preamp.

Yes, with two caveats: The output side (which does not provide power) is still XLR and needs some method of conversion (either Blue's Icicle, or an XLR to USB cable or a mixer with XLR input and USB-out or line-out to go to your computer's input). I use this with an XLR-USB cable (Mic -&gt; Mic Input, Mic Thru -&gt; XLR-USB cable -&gt; computer) and while I lose out on perfect monitoring, it records beautifully and introduces no hum on 48V phantom power. If you have a good line-in on your sound card in your computer you would probably be better off with a mixer that provides 48V phantom power and a line-out.
