Is phantom power always 48v?

"Phantom Power" in use in the recording industry is ALWAYS 48V. Some types of mics use other types of power like T-power or an internal battery, but this is not "Phantom Power".


Do usb condenser microphones need phantom power?

Unless they have a battery built in, if it's a pro condenser microphone with an XLR cable and it doesn't have a special funky power supply just for it, turn on the 48V phantom power. It won't work otherwise. Dynamic mics will ignore phantom power generally.


Does a phantom power pack cause feedback with a pedal board?

No. It's only used for condenser mics and direct boxes anyway. A pedal board shouldn't require it. Dynamic mics will usually ignore it, but I'm not sure if the 48VDC from the phantom supply could damage the electronics on a complicated piece of gear like a pedalboard. Regardless, it shouldn't cause feedback. Turn it off though if you don't require it.

How do you know if your mic is tdm rtas or vst?

Microphones are not TDM, RTAS or VST. Those are categories applied to different types of plugins. Mics can be condenser (aka capacitor), electret, dynamic, ribbon, etc. Some require 48 volts phantom power to power them (condenser mics). Plugins used for your audio software can be categorized by being TDM, RTAS, VST or DirectX. TDM and RTAS plugins are usually used for Pro Tools. VST are used by Steinberg Cubase. Some other applications can use VSTs and maybe some can use TDM and RTAS. There is another kind too: DirectX plugins.
