Can I use a cable extender with this mic without loosing phantom power? If positive, can you point me one for example?

Yes, you can. I used an extender when I needed more cord for audio recording with my Canon T3i for video. Came out well. No phantom power needed.

It could be that the reviewer's particular USB hub could not provide enough amperage to power the mic. Not all USB hubs are equal in this regard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hub#Power

I don't know why that would not work. It is simply a power supply (phantom) for the mic.

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

only if it has onboard power. I use this cable with a microphone that has a 9volt battery inside it ! works perfectly but the mac does NOT provide phantom power. If your mic requires phantom power this cable will not work. You will need a mix board, there are some inexpensive ones for around $100 that will work.

Phantom power is supplied by the board you are plugged into. Standard XLR cable is all thats needed

find a mic with a better connection. i had to buy another adapter just to use it.

this mic needs +48 volts(phantom power), you will need a pre-amp with phantom power that will work with reason(most will but check with maker)

I have not tested the Nady phantom power supplys. I have used powered mics and a wireless box on it and I beleive that any mic or device that can be plugged into this cable will work. It works just like pluging a mic into an amp. I was also suprised by the sound quality when I plugged it into my laptop and my desktop.

I don't think the amplifier provides phantom power, so you'll need to use a dynamic mic (or have a separate power source for a condenser mic).

The only application I'm familiar with that uses phantom power are microphones that need a power supply to run. These are usually high quality condenser mics (most notably Neumanns though there are many inexpensive models) You shouldn't be having a hum problem with a phantom powered mic. (Typically 48 volts). If you are, something is wrong with your board, your BALANCED mic cable or the mic itself. That said, it is an excellent device for standard line levels (-10 db and +4 db) where GROUND LOOP hum is a problem.

no, you need phantom power for a condenser mic. the computer does not provide that. The cable is made for dynamic mics.

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

it gets the phantom power from usb. No power supply. Im not sure if its a full 48v not manny mics actually require 48v

You would have to make your own fittings to extend the cable, but I have a good feeling that it's sixty feet for a reason. I don't think you could extend it too much further without starting to have an impedance issue and possibly not be able to clearly pickup sounds from the mic. Maybe if you extended with CAT6 you could add 50-100 feet max.

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

You could use a little USB adapter. Like a Pre Sonus, or other brand. It will provide the phantom power.
