Anybody powering this mic directly from a car/solar 12v battery or any other high current sources?

Source doesn't matter,long as you have 12 volts,not more.keep mic directly out of water.(rain).

12 volt battery would be ok. If the source is solar, be sure it really is no more than 12 volts. Many solar charging setups for 12 volt batteries could put out as much as 17 volts.

Phantom power is 48W to Condenser Microphones, i use MXL 990 Its nice and i enjoy work with my Berhinger UM2 and my Mic MXL

This mic needs amplified power, mainly powered from wireless head set transmitter to and receiver. Plugging direct into camera will not be a good choice for this mic.

It runs off of 12vdc. However, mine was used in an older karaoke machine and I wired it into a inverter that plugs into 120. You can probably find one on Amazon or at a local electronics shop.

You can use basically any dynamic or condenser mic.I currently use a 12 volt(13.8)and it works great.The 48v is primarily for phantom operation.

Hey Martha, I love the sound of the project you have! Yes, this system is loud! I can hear it really well at freeway speed. Any 12v battery will power this amp, it just depends on the amp/hour rating as to how long before you have to charge it back up. Google "amp/hour rating" and you'll find a wikipedia article or something that will allow you to figure how long you can run the amp.

The mic has a male XLR connector (mic level output). It does not need a battery or phantom power. You will need an adapter to go from XLR to 1/8" mini, but it should work fine.

Thanks for your inquiry. We suggest you purchase an external power bank (5V 1A) for this cam if you want to keep it recording when you turn off your car.

Rick, I've run this camera all day on track day sessions on a single charge of the batteries - never needed to fool with wiring it in. I suppose you could wire an adapter to power it with a usb, but not sure you need to.

Catherine my daughter runs hers directly into laptop but to do that we had to buy a "phantom power supply". Laptop didn't have enough juice to power the mic. I think it was $50 or so at local music store. Plus additional cable.

Hi, this is a dynamic mic, so it doesn't need phantom power, just needs a balanced XLR cable and a place to plug it in!

Honestly, I don't know. You'll have to look up the specs for Phantom Power. Since the board is plugged into 110V and the board is supplying the Phantom Power you'll have to determine what Amps or millivolts it takes to power the mic. Good Luck!

Yeah. Just need to have the right wire leads to your amp. Check with a local car audio place cause I couldn't tell ya. Also need to have power to the amp from the battery.

I cannot-but a call to Fantastic Vent Customer Service wil have the answer...It is very low though..I hook mine up to a portable car start battery w/accessory jack, and plug that into a DC jack when driving..I have never had an issue..

I have it to power my powerful sound system in my car. as far as I am concerned I got a new car battery at the same time it's been about a year no issues

the cheapest way would be to buy a battery place it in the mic then plug into your mic input you may need an adapter to fit into the input on your sound card, but what are you recording?

By phantom power, do you mean for a microphone? Answer would be no, this is aimed at just instrument amplification. You could look at the Fender Passport mini, which has dedicated channel for mic. I think it is about $20 more, very similar to the mini but has that channel and still have access to great Fender Fuse settings tweaking. I'd get one to haul back to Asia, but didn't have room. Next time for me. Here is link: http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Passport-Mini-Portable-System/dp/B00AWMR9SC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368410621&sr=8-1&keywords=fender+passport+mini
