Phantom power is intended to provide power to mics that contain active electronics. This includes most condensors, except for tube-based ones which will have their own power supply. Dynamic mics and especially ribbons should never have the phantom power turned on. I personally think there are better solutions then phantom to powering active mics, but that's an argument for another time. -- Darren _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
