Does a camera need an XLR mic input, for this mic's Phantom power to work? or can XLR adapter be used, if the camera only has an RCA mic input?

The mic can be powered by XLR through a source that's providing phantom power ( A camera ) or through a AA battery that goes into the mic directly by unscrewing the back of the mic.

The camera doesn't need an xlr input. You need an intermediary device or you can use rca input, but the converter sucks and adds a lot of noise to your audio.

This works with a xlr cable you need a usb.This mic uses power supplied thru cable...just a guess..no

No, but The interface dose not need to recognize. Dynamic mics don't care if there is phantom power or not, so, to answer your question, just don't waste the two inputs by plunging dynamic mics into them. The only type of mic that MUST NOT have phantom power is a ribbon mic.

If your soundboard doesn't support phantom power, then you will need an external phantom power box and an additional xlr cable to connect from the phantom power supply to your soundboard.

This microphone requires 48 volt phantom power. If you want to use it with your PC you will need a icicle (or a microphone preamp that has phantom power). You will also need a Female XLR to USB adapter cable if you plan on using a preamp. You will not need the adapter cable if you use the Icicle since the Icicle has the Female XLR and USB connectors on it. I have used both methods and both work equally well.

If your camera has a 1/8" mic input, this mic will work directly with your camera (i use mine with my Nikon D7000). to use it with an external recorder, the recorder would need a 1/8" input (or adapters) to use this mic...the mic only has a 1/8" plug for connections. The mic has its own onboard power, so you won't need to use phantom power.

Just make sure your connections mate up. The Beta 58 needs a XLR connector . It is a standard in Vocal Mics my opinion . I have been working sound for over 37 years and the owner of Guardian-Productions. Hope this helps , Oh yea No phantom needed.

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!

Hi Aaron, To answer your questions: 1. Yes, there is phantom power on the XLR inputs. From Roland's site: "Eight XLR inputs are provided for the preamps, plus independent phantom power, low-cut filter, phase invert, and digital compression for each channel."2. Windows 8. Yes, Roland's site has drivers for Windows 8.

No such cable that I know of does that, John. A regular XLR line (of fair to good quality, i.e, not from Radio Shack or someplace similar) will do, your 48v phantom power should be applied from your mic pre or interface to computer.

This doesn't provide any additional gain to the mic signal - it just supplies +12 or +48 volt phantom power. Whether or not you will need a preamp depends entirely on the gain needs of the interface into which you will plugging the mic.

YES, it has two XLR inputs and 2 XLR outputs. (Two single straight runs through the box, they don't cross.) I haven't run it with just one (I use them to add phantom power to the Zoom 6HN attachment on the top that lacks phantom power) but I'm pretty sure you can use it with just one XLR put through it as well.

Runs off power from the XLR cable. So the camera, or whatever its plugged into, will be powering the microphone.

You don't get something from nothing. The original output form the microphone is a dual mono out. This adapter merely allows you to plug it into an XLR input. It will never be a truly balanced connection, because a balanced connection requires two signal lines instead of one. But his doesn't automatically mean you can't do it. It only means that it will behave as an unbalanced connection. In this situation you might consider running you mic into an inexpensive mixer, probably using this adapter. You can get 4-channel mixers for under $50. Then take a line level signal from the mixer and run it the 150' into your camera. Remember to go to your camera's menu and reset the audio input from mic level to line level. Then you should have a much cleaner signal, especially if your mixer and camera are communicating with each other via a balanced connection.

Not directly. There is one XLR input for a microphone, and the other inputs are RCA-style, not 1/4" plugs used for instruments or some microphones. Also, phantom power is only provided though the XLR input, so only one non-self powered microphone will work with the mixer.

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.

This can plug directly into the board or snake. The XLR adapter is powered properly for the mic off of the phantom power that the board supplies.
