Will this camera power a mic that requires phantom power? I have this, but cannot figure out how to power a shotgun mic that needs phantom pwr.

Hi LafLa, this unit can use external devices that can be connected through the Multi interface shoe and/or the mic jack in which the mic uses the battery of the unit as a power source. We cannot guarantee functionality with external accessories that uses a different power source. Thanks_Mitch

I have not tried used phantom power on every channel, only 2 , and did not hunt down where they were. the way the manual is written all 24 xlr channels have phantom power. http://www.behringer.com/assets/SX3242FX_SX2442FX_M_EN.pdf page 5 under mic pre amp

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

This mic requires the camera to power it. You will have to check with the manufacturer to see if the mic input for the Sony Handycam can power such a device. The information is certainly available online as well. So just keep in mind that this microphone is not self powered. It must be powered by the device it is plugged into.

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

I use this with a TASCAM DR DR-60D and I do need to enable plug-in power in the menu or I get nothing so Marna H is right she may have a problem. There is an explanation on B&H;'s shotgun mic section here http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/audio/buying-guides/shotgun-microphones. There are battery modules/boxes that will provide power, but the only one I could see on Amazon ( by Sound Professional) seemed very expensive for something that should be quite simple. My only suggestion is triple check your menus for a plug-in power option - good luck!

You need a microphone with power, a battery, because I think that camcorder doesn't provide the necessary power. Google phantom power.

Mics do not require phantom power. Mine have worked well in meeting settings.

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!

this microphone requires phantom power. If your audio interface or mixer does not have a Phantom power supply built in, you will need to purchase a phantom power supply to insert into your signal chain.

no, you need phantom power for a condenser mic. the computer does not provide that. The cable is made for dynamic mics.

I have no idea, it's a mike with jack as seen, yet if you are asking if it needs preamping ... apparently not if your amp already equipped; doesn't seem to require phantom power.

The trouble with phantom power is the USB mixers don't provide much power--only 15V. Most HQ mics require 48V. The AT2035 only requires a minimum of 11V--so that's compatible. A dynamic powered mic may be the way to go...As stated earlier--the Shure SM 58 is the most popular for a reason.

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.

Your microphone uses generic phantom power. Actually phantom voltage. The current draw of the mic is nearly zero and hence very low power. I use several different Audio Technical mics with phantom power and they work fine with this usb powered M-Audio adapter. It's a nice little unit that fits well in my laptop bag.

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.

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.
