Grab a cable, hook it up to your preamp, audio interface or mixer, and give it a try. NO PHANTOM Power. You
will need to turn the gain up pretty high. What I recommend is to put an inline preamp close to the ribbon mic,

plug it right into the bottom of the mic. I suggest that you get one of the following
