Has this ever happened to you? You trade out a condenser for a dynamic microphone only to realize that you forgot to turn off 48V phantom power when you used the later? Will phantom power hurt your dynamic microphone? In this video we'll go over just that!
I recently saw a Behringer XM8500 sparking when phantom power was engaged and decided now was the time to do this video. While you may have heard the phrase "Voltage doesn't kill, amperage does" and that is true, we're not talking about power enough to hurt a human but rather enough to hurt a microphone.
Dynamic microphones are usually pretty resilient to abuse but are there any conditions they might not be? Is powering them with phantom power? Well, let's get into it!
