Typically Phantom power is used to power hand held/corded microphones. You willnot needor wantto usePhantom power since you will be using a microphone that has its own power.

Phantom power is provided by your audio board or mixer. Does have better response. Make sure mouth and mike are in close proximity. Works will.

no, they don't require phantom power. P.S. DON'T purchase these mics if you want to use them more than once. you definitely get what you pay for. I bought 8 and EVERY ONE broke by the end of a 12 performance show. the wiring is so flimsy, that any little thing will tear them apart. VERY CHEAP!

The sound is clearer with more depth and resonance. As a keynote speaker the mikes provided by the hotels are typically cheap and pick up noise from the shirt it is clipped to. When you turn your head the sound can fade. The phantom power avoids both of these problems. It fits all remote packs that clip on your belt or skirt in the back. I have been very pleased with this product.

Newbs... Yes it's safe. Dynamics ignore phantom power because they don't use it.

It does have phantom power, and you can choose which channels will use it. I haven't used it with Windows 8 yet.

Hi Johnny, yes it does have phantom power. There is switch next to the power switch to turn phantom on.

Not quite sure what phantom power means but it only requires a USB plugin. I've used mine every day for Skype and quite often for voice acting. Perfect for the cost.

No, but The interface dose not need to recognize. Dynamic mics don't care if there is phantom power or not, so, to answer your question, just don't waste the two inputs by plunging dynamic mics into them. The only type of mic that MUST NOT have phantom power is a ribbon mic.

Not sure what phantom technology is... I can tell you that it does have the ability to do a power boost of 48v on each balanced input that most have started calling "phantom power". Button is right above the effects panel. (Top right corner of the lower tier)

Phantom power is the 48V power required for condenser mics like these to work. It's usually supplied by a mixer, preamp, or audio interface and carried through standard XLR cables. You'll need to check that whatever you connect these mics to provides phantom power.

If your soundboard doesn't support phantom power, then you will need an external phantom power box and an additional xlr cable to connect from the phantom power supply to your soundboard.

YES! There are 4 separate 48v buttons for phantom power. Each 48v button caries 2 channels. So you have to have phantom power on simultaniously for either 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and 7&8. So if you need phantom power only on channel one, you'll have to have the pahntom power on for channel 2 as well. But it WILL not affect the recording for channel 2. Hope this helps :)

You just move the jumper in the back from pins 1&2 to pins 2&3 and then phantom power will be available on Ch1 Input (the XLR connector on the back).

I'm not using those two particular items but I've had no problem with phantom power using this cable

No phantom power needed. If there is a mic jack, the mic will produce sound.

Yes. Phantom power can come through any balanced line cable. It does not take a special cable. It does require that your mixer be designed to provide this power.

I've not used phantom power, but per the description, it should put out +18V of Phantom power
