Can its microphone input supply power to a phantom powered microphones through XLR/3.5mm converter cable??

No. You need a preamp that provides phantom power like a juicedLink or similar. Another option would be a mic that has it's own preamp like a Rode VideoMic.

No, it only has one male XLR connection. I use a standard balanced microphone cable to take the output of the XLR Preamp to the input of my PA or Ultrasound amplifier. If it detects phantom power, it will use it rather than the 9v battery.

I do not believe that it will power the microphone. I have never used the microphone inputs. The reviews that I read before I purchased this unit, claim that you would have to purchase a "phantom power unit" or purchase a microphone that does not require phantom power. I use my mixer as part of my tape monitor loop process to power my Bose 901's through my power amps.

Yes, it's got a button that turns on Phantom power to all of the XLR inputs. I've used the phantom power with my MXL 910 mic, and it works well. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes The Mixer does supply phantom power . I use my Neuman Vocal Mic ,and the Phantom power works Great

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.

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.

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.

I don't know why that would not work. It is simply a power supply (phantom) for the mic.

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 have phantom power through the first 3 XLR ins at +48v. That has now been verified as the correct answer according to my owner's manual.

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.

Yes, each of the eight microphone inputs has its own switchable phantom power supply. It works with Windows 7 and 8, but you need to ensure you have the correct drivers.

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.

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.

call Shure tech support. They are very qualified. If you have only the mic iteself, which is not the item you've asked about, I think you'll learn that the mic needs 5 VDC bias current, which the preamp provides, if you have the preamp model, which this item is. The preamp terminates in a male XLR, which itself requires phantom power. You can purchase the mic itself, without the preamp, which is designed to be used with Shure body packs. You may also find that Shure makes lav mics which work with other manufacturers, avaiable on the usual mail order supply companies, which I can't name here. You probably know which ones to which I refer.
