What if you are using both condenser and dynamic mics on the same mixer at the same time?

[@user-yc3pt3om1d]

this need to be answered! cause i'm using zoom livetrak L-8 and it has a "Global 48v Phantom Power"...

no, the dynamics completely ignore the phantom power

Thank You,,, I am using the sm58 to record my voice, the sound is pretty good. Having to use a condenser mic to record would it be better?

Very explanatory video nice presentation , question answered very well

[@rowellpagigian6089]

How about the accoustic guitar pick it is possible to plug in together with a condenser microphone with a phantom power on?

[@khalilicf]

hi im going to buy a dynamic microphone but upon testing it i had to come really close to the mic for it to actually pic up my voice

[@DenomicRoxs]

Brilliant explanation! Great video

[@kettnercreative]

Glad you liked it!

[@manguera9]

some PA systems like Carvin stagemate ,have a phantom switch for a dynamic mic. but for recording or podcast you need a condenser mic plus phantom power.

[@YEYSHONAN]

Thank you. I was wondering in some of your videos, you forget to turn off your phantom power using SM58 and worried about destroying it. I use PGA58 but and was very worried myself. Now I can sleep tonight.

[@rexploreph8248]

May I know how do you setup your dynamic mic to loptop?

[@derek_underwood]

Right on, thanks man! Didn't wanna hit that button and fry this nice old mic I got from my dad. Thanks to you, I now know it's not needed✌😎🤘

[@danielarcadio]

Thanks for the video! I have a question: if I have dynamic microphones and active DI boxes connected to the same mixer, does the phantom power to feed the DI boxes damage the microphones?

[@ribaudio9343]

Same question here....

Hi! Can i connect an instrument to phantom power instead of microphone?

[@k-9977]

Please do a video on TC helicon perform V.

[@amitabhbansal]

I am using Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK mixing console, i was aware that phantom power can damage the dynamic mic and its only for condenser mic, but my question is if i am using a dynamic mic in channel 1 for vocal and other condenser mic for instrument and using phantom power then it will be applied to all channels then how we cna manage it?

[@theAIA]

I have Behringer Sl 75C dynamic mic (XLR), and need to use it for podcasting (vocal?). Which cable END do I need to connected to Behringer Xenyx Q802USB mixer? XLR? TS 1/4? or TRS 1/4? I was worried if I buy mono (TS 1/4) that my voice will be heard only at one side of headphone? is that correct? Will XLR to XLR damage my dynamic mic?

[@arts68]

If I have global phantom power on the board, and need it for two other mics, is there any way I can isolate it on my channel so that it doesn't interfere with my mic?

[@storytellershlok8919]

In your experience which microphone is best,Shure Sm58 vs rode procaster vs rode podmic?

[@Gracious360]

Very helpful,, I just saved my dynamic mic

[@cayaan6315]

Just got the Sennheiser e835. Noob question, how do i use it with my laptop? does it need power or can i connect it directly?

[@HelamanGile]

I noticed a slight difference but it could have also been that you needed a pop filter that would have helped with judging there also might have been a slight more hiss when the phantom power was turned on

[@leerzeichen1910]

Thanks

[@ManoranjanMudra]

In long run can it effect my Dynamic microphones If I put both Dynamic and Condenser microphone with Phantom Power On ? I have Shure Sm 58 with BM 800 (Condenser Mic) and my mixer is Yamaha MG 10 XU. Pls help.

[@EnlightenAstro]

The Video is very informative, thanks. I am thinking of buying inline preamp Dynamite to enhance the gain of Samson Q2U which is a dynamic Mic. Any idea whether the Phantom powered Dynamite SE 1 will damage Samson Q2U Mic?

[@kettnercreative]

It will not, the dynamite protects the Q2U from phantom power.

[@denggoyy]

Been looking for this content thanks! But I do have a question, does the output of dynamic microphone increases/boost when using a mixer/v8soundcard before plugging it in computer mic input than plugging in the mic directly to computer mic input?

[@kettnercreative]

Great question. Yes, any type of mixer/preamp has the ability to boost the signal before connecting it directly to your computer

Once I had turned on the phantom power (Yamaha MG 10XU) when my Shure SM 58 connected with a jack for few seconds, Quickly i turned off. So is there any harm to my Shure SM58 microphone. As u have shown its a Bulletproof mic Still I need a reply from u. I still in confusion. Pls help me out. Thanks. I am from India.

[@giftbundlesbasketsandcraft5450]

Thanks for this video. One follow up question so I am clear. I have a Shure SM7B mic (dynamic mic) and a Rode NT1-a (condenser mic) and I use my Focusrite as my audio interface. One requires phathom power (the rode) and the other does not. Will plugging both of them into my audio interface and using the phathom power damage the shure mic? I know you said, that shure is bullet proof, but is it bullett proof for continued use of phantom on. I wasn't clear on this and I am affaird to use them at the same time for my podcast and damage the dynamic mic which I use very often, please clarify. Thanks so much.

[@danserogermusic104]

Same question here! Have you found an answer? I want to use simultaneously a SM-58 (dynamic mic) and a Behringer B-1 (condenser mic) on an Edirol interface that can only send out phantom power to both inputs simultaneously, unfortunately... Thanks in advance.

[@GainLegendz]

Good job sir thank you 😊

[@kdpr007]

Thank you for the video. Is there any interface equired for dynamic mic (I have Audio Arry AM-C11) to connect to ipad pro for screen recording or voice over? Kindly suggest thank you

[@kettnercreative]

Dynamic Microphones typically require a lot of gain, so it's recommended to use an interface with a decent preamps to get the best sound out of your microphone.

[@kdpr007]

@@kettnercreative thank you for your response Can you please suggest a decent preamps. Just a word, I plan to record voice over on my iPad Pro for my math classes. I use Goodnotes app for writing math.

[@nullifiednothing8959]

I have an Alctron Interface and normally only use 48V for my RODE NT1A, but have tested phantom power on both my Shure SM58 & AUDIX OM5 dynamic mics and note a drop in gain and also boosted high frequencies with the 48V, what would be the cause of that when the consensus is there is no effect whatsoever?

[@kettnercreative]

You should definitely not be seeing a difference in gain or EQ when you add phantom power. I would contact the manufacturer.

[@nullifiednothing8959]

@@kettnercreative Thanks mate, I have a Focusrite 2i2 coming so will see what it does with that, is it possible the cables could affect it?

[@rickdenney5772]

Shure states that all their dynamic mics and wireless receivers are immune to phantom power. That’s good, because they often have to share a board with condenser microphones that require phantom power to drive their internal preamps, and cheaper boards don’t have separate phantom power for each channel. Good dynamic mics should have impedance-matching transformers in them, and DC phantom power does penetrate transformers, only AC audio does that.

[@leerzeichen1910]

What if the length of the cable from the mic to the mixer is just to long and you have to turn your gain up to the max and still not getting enough volume. What do you do then? It is a dynamic mic

[@rudy2538]

Cloudlifter

[@venugopalpoolakkal8276]

Hi sir have a small doubt for example when we use a condenser mic we need to switch in the phantom power so when we use a dynamic and a condenser mic together will it cause any issues or is it OK if we use like that Thx sir

[@kettnercreative]

Generally speaking, this is not an issue at all. I have yet to ever experience an issue with this. The far majority of dynamic microphones are balanced and will remain unaffected by phantom power. The only microphones that will be negatively affected are unbalanced dynamic microphones (very rare), and ribbon microphones (also very uncommon).

[@venugopalpoolakkal8276]

@@kettnercreative OK sir thx for the information

[@dijiniriyanni771]

Can we use/connect dynamic and condenser microphone together in a mixer? 48v phantom power will damage the dynamic microphones?

[@kettnercreative]

I have yet to ever damage a dynamic microphone when using phantom power after doing this maybe 10,000 times. Any modern dynamic mic will be able to handle it without being damaged. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, you can google "unbalanced dynamic mic" to learn more about the ones that might be affected.

[@dijiniriyanni771]

Thank you! Appreciative...!

[@Paynless101]

You're the best. Saved me like £100! Does this mean its OK to get an "XLR to USB cable" for a Dynamic Mic and just plug-and-play?

[@kettnercreative]

It depends on the mic. An audio interface will definitely work better for you, but if you're looking for a simple solution, a XLR to USB cable can work. Here's another video where we try it with a dynamic mic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3TThX6Dja6ChsU

Phantom power is like always off untill something is not working, and then maybe on

Hi! My question is: Does phantom power damage dynamic microphones?

[@pavendax]

It doesn't do anything since I'm watching this vid on an Iphone

[@pauljohnson4590]

Could have been even simpler. The answer is simply NO.

[@raultoichoa1574]

simply not true. Look at large studio dynamics like the ashton stealth

[@kettnercreative]

The Ashton Stealth has a built in preamp. When you send 48v to the Ashton Stealth, the power does not go to the microphone, instead it goes to the preamp. You can think of it as a ‘built in cloudlifter’ that you are activating. 48v has no effect on the microphone portion of this device whatsoever. 48v does not improve the sound/tone/quality of this microphone, it just adds more clean gain.

[@raultoichoa1574]

@@kettnercreative except that you have to turn on 48v power on your interface to work this feature of the ashton stealth, or any dynamic mic that requires a cloudlifter so... Idk it sounds like you're being mindlessly pedantic. To say it has "no effect on the microphone portion of this mic whatsoever" is hilarious and anyone who has used it before would tell you that even if its technically true, its practically false.

[@ManoranjanMudra]

In long run can it effect my Dynamic microphones If I put both Dynamic and Condenser microphone with Phantom Power On ? I have Shure Sm 58 with BM 800 (Condenser Mic) and my mixer is Yamaha MG 10 XU. Pls help.
