So with this unit I can use a condenser mic and it allows the use of compression and de esser at the same time?

Yes, to both questions. It has +48vdc phantom power (switchable on or off from the front panel) to power a condenser mic and it has separate controls to adjust the compressor and the de-esser. The compressor and de-esser can be run simultaneously.

Yes you can. Or you can bypass processing and just use it as a preamp. Very versatile for home studio setup. Just play with it and you'll dial up what works for your needs. I bought it for noise reduction more than anything else. Can't beat it for the money.

The dbx 286s can accommodate microphones/signal chains that use phantom power or those that don't like dynamic microphones. The compressor, de-esser, enhancer, and gate are all independent functions that can all work together for a great sound (or you can use the process bypass to turn them all off).

Yes, actually up to 5 mics at the same time, plus additional input (like a CD player, etc.) I use it for Podcasts and group recordings in a studio environment and I love it! Small size and lots of ability for the price.

Scott, there are 2 condenser mics and 2 inputs, you can record all at the same time, but it will be stereo for that recording (mics as left and inputs as the right channel - you can set up for four track recording and record each tracknsepetately like any other multi track - the real magic of this device is the ability to record the whole room and off the board at the same time, and the compact size. The software is cumbersome, and the "new" file set up is missing ( which sucks if you want to cut up your files live because starting a new file isn't set up properly) my only negative - that being said, it's a great littl idea catcher and the quality is very good.

I don't see why not. I use it for two different recording systems to do transcription. But I've never tried it.

I'm not sure what mic that is, but it has mounts for both condenser and dynamic mics.

Yes, you can record 2 audio lines at the same time (and also a 3rd MIDI line, too).

No, it's a condenser, but it's a standard mic that requires a microphone amplifier, balanced input and a 48V power supply
1352216
Never tried it but you should be able to, most recording software will recognise the input so you shouldn't have a problem.You can plug the other end of the 1/4 into the mix port and you should be able to use both mics.
587014
Yes! You can use both inputs as you want, record same instrument using two mics or vocals and instruments, etc. Depending on the instruments you need to set up the Mic/inst swtich to adjunst input levels.
1222011
No. You will need a preamp for the NT1-A or really any condenser microphone.
56374
Yes, you can just use one of the built-in mics and it will take up less space. You can also use one built-in mic and one external input.

It can be used on its own only if your recording device can supply condenser mic voltage (approximately 3 VDC). This is an option on many field and portable recorders, as well as many PCs and laptops. I hope this is what you are asking.

This would work fine as a mixer/preamp and supplies the 40V phantom power that a condenser mike needs. You would still need an amplifier of some sort, unless you are running the output to digital recording software. On the outputs, if you are running to a sound system use a direct box to convert the 1/4" jack to XLR, it will also reduce the signal input to the amplifier (otherwise you are sending a firehose of water to something that needs much less). A half hour with a good sound tech to set the mixer up with your amplifier/sound system is worth the cost.

You could if you in put mic in 1 channel with balance all the way 1 direction, and then guitar in another channel with the balance all the way the other direction. You would then have 2 seperated mono recordings. Easily edited in recording software.

Brianna,I was incorrect in my early answer. The other commenters are correct. This unit is only to supply phantom power for special microphones. It does not combine two microphones to one. The computer interface suggestions you are reading are great good luck

Yes I would just be careful because you surely wouldn't wanna knock a consider mic on to the floor unlike dynamic mics condensers are fairly sensitive
