Will I need a phantom power supply? If so does anyone have any suggestions on a good one? This is my first time setting up a home studio.

The AudioBox supplies phantom power. You turn it on by pressing the little button on the front that says 48v.

The AudioBox supplies phantom power to your condenser microphone. You use the lit blue button labeled "48V" to turn on phantom power.

Phantom power is the 48V power required for condenser mics like these to work. It's usually supplied by a mixer, preamp, or audio interface and carried through standard XLR cables. You'll need to check that whatever you connect these mics to provides phantom power.

Brianna,I was incorrect in my early answer. The other commenters are correct. This unit is only to supply phantom power for special microphones. It does not combine two microphones to one. The computer interface suggestions you are reading are great good luck

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

The microphone needs to have a power source. If you do not have a (phantom) power it will not work.

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.

Hi, this is a dynamic mic, so it doesn't need phantom power, just needs a balanced XLR cable and a place to plug it in!

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.

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

Not quite sure what phantom power means but it only requires a USB plugin. I've used mine every day for Skype and quite often for voice acting. Perfect for the cost.

This power supply is indeed isolated, like any good pedal board don't skimp on the pedal cables. Buy good quality cables, I cut and made my own. People tend to blame noise on the power supply but with good quality cables, I have no noise from my amp even with 8 pedals.

Phantom power is a power supply used to power condenser mics. The standanrd voltage on phantom power is 48v, but some mics may vary.

its basically a mixer, no power to speak of, you get a preamp when using the xlr input and the corresponding input thats below it. you need either an amp or powered speakers, Im using some cheap though nice sounding altec lansing monitors. Im going for small, large amps are a pain to carry around!

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.

You need a mic preamp with in built phantom power . It should be a minimum of 15 Volts and can be up to 48 volts max. For drum use,48 V is better. It has an omni directional sensitivity. Will pick up room ambiance. Note that the max spl is 127dB for 1% distortion and so position may be critical for good sound. Has a very flat response and should sound good. Might add that this mic seems to be designed for measurement use. Close miking of percussion could over load it !

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.
