No - most dynamic mics will "ignore" phantom power, so it doesn't hurt them.

It depends on two things - 1: what kind of mics you have and 2: if you need all of the audio recorded into separate channels on the computer. If you have 6 mics that are XLR or need phantom power, then this will not suit your needs - this can only power 4 XLR mics. (If you have what are called dynamic mics with 1/4" plugs - or self powered condensor mics that can use 1/4" jacks - then you are fine). For the second part (about separate channels) it really depends what you want to be able to do. The USB part of this mixer records just two separate channels into the computer - the same as the left and right main output of the mixer. So if you were to use 6 mics you would have them all recorded, but all together. (Thus, if someone was too quiet, you could not just turn them up after the fact.) You can use the panning to get two completely separate tracks, but that's clearly not enough for what you're trying to do. If you want to record all 6 tracks independently you will need something more expensive. I hope this helps!

No phantom power on this one. It's a line mixer. It does have toggle switches to adjust for -10dbU / +4dbV. I've had mine for a few months now, and it's still working great.

Yes, but if your mixer has phantom power then you can just connect this mic to your mixer and turn the phantom power on.

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

Phantom power is needed for it to perform at peak performance. You can always add a behringer ps400 phantom power supply to your set up and it will take care of the issue. I think they are about $20 on amazon.

It will not work without a 48v phantom power. You'll need either a mixer that have 48 volt phantom powered XLR input/s, or a 48v phantom power adapter.

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 :)

I own the B-1 and a mixer and a M Audio Interface card so my mics hook into my mixer (phantom power there) if the DEQ doesnt have phantom power get a pre amp that does or a mixer

This doesn't provide any additional gain to the mic signal - it just supplies +12 or +48 volt phantom power. Whether or not you will need a preamp depends entirely on the gain needs of the interface into which you will plugging the mic.

You have what we call a 48v Phantom Power Mic Which means... Firat of all ots a great mic and second, you need serious power puahing the mic to it's potential and that can only be achieved with an 'Audio Interface.' The a sort of mic you have is to good and powerful to just be powered with a simple cable such as this. I ran into the same problem. I learnt the hard way as well.

This mic needs phantom power, usually present in mixing boards, dont know what your audio interface actually is.

No, this is a XLR 3 pin condenser microphone that needs phantom power from a professional mixer.

I've had no issues, but I also don't abuse it. I use in a small home studio environment where it pretty much never moves from it's spot on the desk. To your point regarding a mixer with phantom power, this little box is intended for users who DON'T have such a mixer and just want to be able to use a condenser mic in their setup from time to time. Cheap, easy phantom power.

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

I've had mixed results ... on one mixer it ran well on Phantom Power ... on another it didn't seem to work as good ... but I'm not 100 percent sure it was the mic and not the mixer that was having problems, so I would take the chance that it would work on phantom power.

Any XLR cable will pass phantom power but the cable doesn't produce it. You have to use an audio interface that features phantom power and then turn it on with a switch. Most interfaces have it but some do not so be careful. Using the shortest possible (and best) cable is still a good idea. Enjoy the mic, it's a keeper for our studio.
