Hey All,
Just scooped an AKG D 1000E microphone from a flea market for $30 - thought it was a pretty good deal, as I was looking for something that would be similar to an SM57.
Upon getting home though to test it out, I just ran it through my M-Audio digital interface into Audacity - I can't seem to get any sound out of it.
This goes for my Clip/Signal lights on the M-Audio, as well as any sound in Audacity. I checked the same setup with my Sennheiser e835, and got sound out of that no problem.
SO now, I am wondering if I need to go back and try to get my money back, OR -
I wonder if because the AKG is a relatively older microphone, that it may require phantom power to run. I can't find any precise information online that would tell me clearly, so I made an account here! Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
