How Does Phantom Power Affect Microphones?

Phantom Power does change the sound of your microphone, BUT HOW & is More Power Better, Worse, Too Much, or Not Enough?
Can Microphones Work with 12v if their Specs Says 48v?
In this video I test and compare multiple small and large diaphragm condenser and shotgun microphones with both 12 and 48v phantom power and use frequency analysis to find out how phantom voltage affects sound. If you have ever wondered whether phantom power really affects your microphone, this is for you.

Do This First:
To get the most out of your recording or streaming space, I recommend sound treatment including acoustic absorption panels. This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality panels available at an excellent value.
