Phantom power… the basic story…

Your basic mic… Dynamic, and not Condenser, needs to phantom power because as it picks up sound, the motion of its internal magnet creates enough of a signal to be relayed to the interface…

A Condenser, is typically designed in a fashion that it filters the incoming sound, and thus you need to boost the signal going in so that it can make it back…

what you'll need is, either a phantom box… or a interface with phantom power… yes, most mixers have phantom power, but its not nessesary, and im sick of these people thinking a mixer is gonna make em sound so much better
