I want to use this mic as my 2nd mic, problem is 1st mic needs phantom power. Will PP hurt this mic when connected to same interface?

I don't think phantom power will hurt this mic. I believe you do need a phantom power for this mic when you use the XLR connector. When you use the USB connector, you don't need phantom power. However, based on my experience, the USB connector on this mic performs terribly.

Unplug them immediately unless you have purchased the XLR adapter from us. A standard XLR adapter will pass 48v phantom from the USB interface into the mics and burn them out. This is not covered under warranty. We do offer these mics with XLR connectors and we also offer the correct XLR adapter if you need this. 800-213-3021

I plugged my XLR cable into a ART preamp, which I then had another XLR cable from out the back of the preamp plugged into a Firewire audio interface. Remember this microphone needs 48v Phantom Power to work properly.

if your mixer has +48 volt power(phantom)This mic needs +48 power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if so, you should be sweet??????????????????????

Technically you could, if it's the same mic, you would have to make sure the mic and receiver are on the same frequency, I would not recommend it for use over long duration tho, because it will cut out, essentially you'll be sharing it with another mic in the same frequency, which will cause it to cut in and out.

I was confused by this, so to clarify - you CAN use phantom power for all the mics in this kit but only the condensers require it. From my research, DO NOT use phantom power for older style ribbon mics, none of which are included in this kit. That will ruin the microphone.

I own the B-1 and a mixer and a M Audio Interface card so my mics hook into my mixer (phantom power there) if the DEQ doesnt have phantom power get a pre amp that does or a mixer

this microphone requires phantom power. If your audio interface or mixer does not have a Phantom power supply built in, you will need to purchase a phantom power supply to insert into your signal chain.

You can use a mixer device or a "Y" cable, but it is not designed to it. If you do it, both mics will have the effect on then.

That should not be a problem. They are each on their own frequency. We don't generally do that but it shouldn't be a problem. We ordered an additional handheld mic but it's on the same frequency as one of the headset mics and you can't use them at the same time. Good luck, JK

Any XLR cable will pass phantom power but the cable doesn't produce it. You have to use an audio interface that features phantom power and then turn it on with a switch. Most interfaces have it but some do not so be careful. Using the shortest possible (and best) cable is still a good idea. Enjoy the mic, it's a keeper for our studio.

Not really. This microphone needs phantom power, so you need an interface on the other end that can provide power to the microphone.

No - most dynamic mics will "ignore" phantom power, so it doesn't hurt them.

The Audio-Technica PRO 8HEx microphone connects like, and behaves like, any other dynamic microphone that is connected with a balanced cable and terminated in an XLR plug. If you read my review, you would have seen, "The Pro 8HEx is a balanced mic, but does NOT use so-called "phantom power". However, according to Audio-Technica tech support, it would not be damaged if connected to a mic preamp that has phantom power." Regarding the XLR plug, if your Behringer preamp accepts other microphones with XLR plugs, then it will also accept this one.

If I remember correctly on how this is wired, it will short out the phantom power since pin 1 & 3 are connected. I wouldn't use this adapter with phantom power, it's not designed for it, and could potentially harm the recorder.

I have not tried used phantom power on every channel, only 2 , and did not hunt down where they were. the way the manual is written all 24 xlr channels have phantom power. http://www.behringer.com/assets/SX3242FX_SX2442FX_M_EN.pdf page 5 under mic pre amp

You can use it as one but you'll need a phantom power source to plug the mic into before running it to your PC. I just bought an inexpensive one on eBay for about $20 and it works great!
