shetlandpeat Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I have just started to use microphones that require Phantom, has any one had any issues or do's and don'ts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin13 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Have used these in the past with semipro video cameras, never had any problems as such. shetlandpeat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I use them regularly without giving it much consideration apart from these rules of thumb: Switch the 48v on, and back off when you're finished, while the mic is plugged in. It's not so much of a concern now-a-days but some older or more fragile mics (ribbon mics in particular) can be damaged by 'hot plugging' Switching the 48v on/off can cause a signal spike so it's best to mute, or turn off, the next piece of equipment down the signal chain. Most dynamic ('normal') mics won't be damaged if you mistakenly apply 48v to them, but best not take the chance shetlandpeat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks for that Bryan, has several goes with the mic so far, radio shows and then a live performance over last week end, it worked very well and the sound is quite addictive with quality.
