About Phantom Power
Dynamic microphones (such as a Shure SM57)
do not require phantom power, but are not
harmed by it. Most
condenser microphones (like
an AKG C3000) do require phantom power to
operate.
If you are not sure about the phantom power re-
quirements for your microphone, consult your
microphone’s documentation or contact the
manufacturer.
For information on User Options mode, see
Chapter 10, “User Options.”
Tuner view
Although phantom power is safe for most
microphones, it is possible to damage some
ribbon mics with it. Always turn off phan-
tom power and wait at least ten seconds be-
fore connecting or disconnecting a ribbon
microphone.
