i have a set of pg drum mics and i want to run them through my behringer pmx 2000 i wondered if they need to use phantom power and i just want to know how i can tell if a mic needs phantom power? thanks
If your talking about the Shure PG 6-Piece Drum Microphone Package, that come with the PG52, PG56, and the PG81's. . .Only the the PG81's which are usually used as Overheads, need phantom power. HOWEVER, . . I'm pretty sure that the PG1's can also be powered by a AA Battery if you don't have a phantom power supply available .. .
So, I guess she answer to your question is NO, the PG mic package doesn't need a separate phantom power supply, as long as you keep replacing the batteries. But, if you don't want to keep using batteries then you might want to get yourself a phantom power box for the two PG81's. . .hope that helps
