This is the reason why preamps were made. For this reason, audio signals from mics have to be amplified. The audio signal from microphones in itself is not audible. Microphones, regardless of the type, deliver a very low-level audio signal.
If you need an extra microphone input to connect another condenser mic, there is a 2-channel Phantom Power Supply (Amazon) also made by Neewer. It comes with an adapter and an XLR cable. It’s a 1-channel phantom power supply brick, meaning you can connect only one condenser mic. Neewer 48V Phantom Power Supply (on Amazon) is an excellent choice and always gets the job done. It will feed phantom power to the microphone, receive the audio signal from the mic, and then send it to the audio interface or mixer. This device will be connected between your condenser mic and audio interface or mixer. If your audio interface, mixer, or preamp doesn’t have phantom power, then you need a dedicated phantom power supply brick. This will send 48V to the microphone through the XLR cable. To supply phantom power to a condenser microphone, first connect the mic to the audio interface, preamp, or mixer, look for the button or switch labeled “48V” or “Phantom Power” on the audio interface, preamp, or mixer and turn it on. When a condenser mic is not supplied with Phantom Power, it won’t work and will stay quiet.įortunately, most audio interfaces, preamps, and mixers can feed condenser microphones with Phantom Power. The standard Phantom Power used for condenser mics is 48 Volts. This power supply is known as Phantom Power. On the other hand, condenser microphones require a power supply to work. You can connect it to a microphone preamp and start using it right away.
One of the major differences between dynamic microphones and condenser microphones is, dynamic mics don’t require a power supply to work. This leaves us with two of the most popular microphones today - dynamic microphones and condenser microphones. Ribbon microphones are the least known, and they are rarely used these days, but you will still find them in vintage recording studios. Microphone is not supplied with phantom powerĪs you may already know, there are three main types of microphones - Dynamic, Condenser, and Ribbon microphones.
So let’s take a closer look at all of the reasons, one at a time, why condenser microphones are quiet or too low. Some of these reasons are obvious, and some of them require some explanation. The Mic is connected to the Audio Interface/Mixer with the wrong audio cable The Mic is connected to a Line/Instrument Level Input Microphone is not supplied with phantom power
