So I just got a new microphone (t.bone EM9900) which I thought sounded really nice when I saw it in a YouTube Review and so I just hooked it up to my old setup which consists of a very cheap Phantom Power Supply (Justin Phantom 1) connecting directly to my laptops microphone Input.
Now I have the problem, that the Microphone delivers a very very quiet sound, around -36dB with the Phantom Power attached and I have to apply a really high gain (around +25dB) to even be audible which in return amplifies the before very quiet sound-floor so much that I cant use it to record.
I would like to know what is wrong with my setup if there is an easy answer. I suspect it to be the cheap Phantom Power Supply not providing the right amount of amplification to the mic and additionally adding a lot of noise to the sound floor but I am kinda new to this so Id like to know if I did anything wrong and weither I should just go ahead and buy a different preamp (it has to be kinda affordable, I dont want to spent another 100 Euros on the AMP) like for example this one: ART Tube MP
Thanks for the help!
