User Manual

Phantom Power
All condenser microphones require phantom power to operate. This micro-
phone performs best with a 48 V DC supply (IEC-61938), but it can operate
with lower voltages.
Phantom power is provided by the mixer or audio interface that the micro-
phone is connected to, and requires the use of a balanced microphone cable:
XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS. In most cases, there is a switch or button to
activate the phantom power. See the user guide for the mixer or interface for
additional information.
NOTE: Applies to PGA81 condenser microphones only. Supplying phantom
power to the other included microphones will not cause damage.
