That's how it's connected. There's nothing else. XLR from the mic in the DI box, 1/4" from the DI box to a 1010LT input. > If not you will HAVE to use one to get the signal that comes out of > the microphone to a proper working level. > Also I'm wondering that you get any signal at all through a passive > DI box having no phantom power... Not only there's signal, but it is actually quite loud with the mic at about 8 inches, away from the guitar sound hole - more like pointing at the bridge. > My mic preference on a budget would be the "Bluebird" by Blue, > which has a very pleasant harmonic distortion in the lowmids, and is > pretty cheap too. Never heard about these mics before. I looked it up - seems pretty good from the description. Original shape. But this one needs +48v phantom power, which as far as I can see now, would require a new DI box. Saw it listed for $299. Plus new DI box, that exceeds a bit the budget. You noted that w/o a phantom power the output would be too low. Which is not the case in my setup. Is the role of phantom power in mics one of amplifying sound vibrations only ? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
