Phantom power won't hurt your dynamic mic, but it also won't help it. Turn off phantom power if you're using a dynamic mic. Only condenser microphones need phantom power.

How do you use phontom power mics?

Phantom power is typically required for condenser microphones to operate. To use them, make sure your audio interface or mixer provides phantom power, then connect the microphone using an XLR cable. Turn on the phantom power before using the microphone, and remember to turn it off when finished to avoid potential damage to the mic.


What is phantom energy?

These devices contribute to the energy-wasting phenomenon called "phantom power," or vampire energy. Simply put, this is the power that is used when electronic devices draw energy from the grid into your home just by being plugged in, when you aren't looking and you aren't using them. Many electronic devices continue to draw power even when not in use. Energy drawn by the standby mode sometimes is referred to as a "phantom load." An estimated 50 percent of the energy used by an electronic device is drawn while the device is not in use, making phantom loads responsible for 4 to 7 percent of your total electricity use. Phantom loads can be reduced in many ways, some of them for little cost or free.

What is the two methods of producing dynamic pressure?

Two methods of producing dynamic pressure are through the use of a venturi tube, which accelerates fluid flow and increases its velocity, resulting in higher dynamic pressure; and through the use of a pitot tube, which measures the impact pressure of a moving fluid and can be used to calculate dynamic pressure.


What is the difference between static and dynamic ROM?

It is not uncommon for an athlete to actively exhibit a larger ROM at a particular joint when performing a sport skill, than a ROM that can be reached statically. In view of that, dynamic stretching addresses this difference in movement expression (kicking a soccer ball, throwing a baseball, etc.). As a result, we use dynamic warm-ups to actively prepare the body for the higher intensity of our workouts. Static stretching can still help with flexibility and to aid in muscle recovery. It is crucial for our athletes to dynamically warm-up which typically can take up to 30 minutes.

How do you use a dynamic microphone?

usually a dynamic microphone is used for live performances such as a rock band because its not as sensitive as a condenser mic which is used for recording.


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".


If you have an audio technica at2020 mic with XLR ports can you use a XLR to 1.4 inch microphone cable to get it to work straight on your computer with mixcraft 4?

nope need some source of phantom power...try a preamp


How to find my microphone on my mac using Mobilepre plus Protools?

In Pro Tools 9 or 10, you can use the MobilePre as an audio interface. You must select it as the input in the hardware options. The mic must be connected to one of the XLR microphone inputs on the MobilePre, the phantom power turned on if it is a condenser mic, and an audio track armed with the first or second input selected (depending upon where you plugged in the mic).


What kind of vocal mic can you use with your HP computer?

Using a sound input that is built into a computer isn't the best solution: An external sound card will normally produce better results but whether you use a built in sound card or an external one, there are two or three ways to connect a microphone. A dynamic mic can connect directly to the 3.5mm microphone input jack. Most of the lower cost mics are dynamic although there are many studio mics available. A condenser mic can be used but they normally need a voltage on the input connector to power them. Condenser mics are normally the preferred choice for recording and they can be used if a "phantom power supply" is connected between the mic and the input. With any microphone, an adaptor may be needed from either a 1/4" jack or an XLR connector to the 3.5mm socket. Many electronics stores will have the right adaptors. An alternative is to use an external mixer. One or more microphones can be connected to it and the output will be at a higher level than a single microphone and is likely to offer a better quality sound capture than using a microphone level into the sound card.


How can you use mic in facecam 300?

it doesnt have mic ...


How do you properly hook up your mtx condensor microphone to your laptop via usb?

Unless you already have a soundcard with phantom power, then one relatively inexpensive solution is the Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI interface. That's what I use to power my condenser mic and the sound is very clean and crisp. Good luck!


Is there a way to use a Condensed microphones without buying phantom power?

you cant do it


Do you have to have a controller to use the mic on guitar hero wii?

yes you need to have a controller to be able to use the mic. (you can use the mic on guitar hero 4 and upwards)


What kind of microphone should i use to record acoustic guitar dynamic or condenser?

This depends entirely on your budget. Condenser mic can capture wide range of frequencies and thus it is recommendable.


I'm a noob to recording so if have a 9-track mixing board do I need a preamp to run a condenser microphone?

A preamp is required for all microphones, and is built in to the mixer if it accepts microphone inputs. The feature required for most condenser microphones is phantom power, a 48 volt signal that is supplied by the mixer to power the electronics inside the microphone. You must use an XLR (three pin) cable to connect the mic to the mixer to provide this power. There will be a Phantom or 48V switch on the mixer to turn this feature on and off.
