I'm running this mic for a car audio setup, and I already have a 12v supply as well as a 5v supply as options. What voltage should I supply to it? Thx

5V would probably power the mic, just run a test to a digital recorder or a speaker. It is however rated from 6 - 12V. Good Luck

It is 12v.I wouldn't recommend it though.The one I received sounds as if the mic is blown.I put it in the center of the house as part of my security system. Closest tv is about 30 feet away. Even with it on low volume the mic pops and hisses.

Well first check you input gain but on mine the meter suddenly maxed out then dropped to nothing and hasn't worked since. That was on the first day of use. However, everything else works as it should (if a little noisy, it's not the quietest pre-amp). Since my interface has either all phantom power on or off I use the preamp for using both condenser and dynamic mics together. I don't think pinned in the red is normal.

That depends on the input voltage/amperage and polarity of your speakers. On the back there should be a label with what looks like a little circle with a line coming out of it in another circle. Where're the + and - signs? There should also be a thing that says INPUT: ___ V or mV, ___A. What numbers are by the V and A? However, my kneejerk reaction would be to say no because as soon as I plugged in the adapter I bought it started sparking and immediately stopped working.

if your mixer has +48 volt power(phantom)This mic needs +48 power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if so, you should be sweet??????????????????????

I think this 12v is just what type of system (auto) the speaker was designed for. There is absolutely no reason a car speaker cannot run off of a home audio (110AC) receiver just as well as it does off of an auto head unit. You never connect the speaker directly to the power, whether that power is a wall socket or car battery.

A standard 12 volt DC cctv camera supply will power the mic. You can buy "Y" connectors at Amazon and run off the camera power cable. That is what I did and it is the most inexpensive solution. Hope this helps

Agree with the above. This is a DC device. Changing to AC with an inverter and then changing back to DC with a power brick is not necessary and slightly comical ;) Just wire it to 12 VDC like any other car audio component.

Hi there. I'm from Venezuela and here we normally use 110 V as the main source of electricity. I don't recall quite well wheather the mic can work on 220 V or not, but waht I can ensure you is that the microphone works superbly and one doesn't need to worry about the battery endurance for it lasts up to 30 hrs nonstop! I recommend it highly!

I would suggest that you connect this mic to any amplifier that has a mic in-put and an USB output which most units have these days. This mic does need a pre-amplifier circuit to amplify the faintest signals, and such pre-amplifier circuits are present in all amplifiers that have a mic input. This Mic also has a 'Balanced' (three-line) RCA cable connection for optimum sound-free performance such as the very annoying 'Hizz' or 'humming'.

It is a great little mic, but it comes with a 12 volt power supply that must be used with it I don't know how a laptop would power it

I've always charged this device using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on my desktop. These ports are 5 VDC, & are capable of supplying 500 mA & 900 mA respectively. However, if you're using a USB port powered from your car aux port or from a wall socket, it may supply as much as 2.1 amps, which doesn't seem to present any problems for most of my equipment that's charged via USB (phones, MP3s, etc.), so I'm guessing this amplifier would be okay & I wouldn't hesitate to use it if necessary. Hope this is what you were looking for.

You will need a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter though. I suggest getting a self-powered mic still. this signal may be weak.

This microphone requires 48 volt phantom power. If you want to use it with your PC you will need a icicle (or a microphone preamp that has phantom power). You will also need a Female XLR to USB adapter cable if you plan on using a preamp. You will not need the adapter cable if you use the Icicle since the Icicle has the Female XLR and USB connectors on it. I have used both methods and both work equally well.

It's an XLR mic that requires 48v phantom power. Must run off a mixer with phantom power supply.

You may want to series the 2 voice coils to get 8 ohms, then run the amp in bridged mode. The 2 amp channels will see an equivalent of a 4 ohm load each.

Yes, this is a dynamic microphone which does not require phantom power(48 volts). Other recommendations? This is a great mic.the SM58, the SM57 is also a good choice. Any condenser mic would require phantom voltage.

Its 110v. Check with website they might have an adapter. Not rechargeable. Only mics use batteries. Don't loose the remote like we did cause you cannot turn on without it and it cost over 50 dollars to order remote!
