    Phantom Power for Oktava MK-219 Mic

    Ok thanks everybody for the help, saved me a lot of bother messing about trying to get stuff to work. Seems mad to me that they make phantom power supplies that cant generate enough current for my mic but there you go. I'm probably gonna try another way to sort the problem Masten :)

    Broken Steinberg UR-22

    Hi A while back the 2nd input on my UR22 stopped working. No sound, nothing, just dead on that input. It was after I was pluggin and unplugging mics, and thought I'd turned off the phantom power but maybe I didn't? Took it to a repair shop and they took it apart, but couldn't find anything...

    Phantom Power for Oktava MK-219 Mic

    Hi Mark, Thanks for trying that, much appreciated, saved me the bother of getting one and sending it back. So how would I know if a unit is capable of suppling the needed amps and voltage. There's 2 more cost effective options here: Millenium Pocket Phantom – Thomann UK Millenium PP2B Phantom...

    Phantom Power for Oktava MK-219 Mic

    Hi Ok thanks for the info guys. Is going a bit over my head now to be honest. My knowledge of electricity is I know that Amp x Voltage = Watts. That's about it. Mark: so are you saying that with this result: CAD M179, 8ma, 4.52vdc There's no way the PS400 will make an Octava Mk-219 work...

    Phantom Power for Oktava MK-219 Mic

    Hi guys. Thanks for the advice. Very helpful Rob: Yeah will prob steer clear of the chinese ones then Dave & Mark: The thing I didnt mention (just to keep things simple) was I have the ur22 also running onto a DAW to make demos so I like having the Octava as it's sounds way better than a...

    Phantom Power for Oktava MK-219 Mic

    Hi there Yeah sorry is a ur22. I'm using the Mic mechanic pedal for the reverb. I use this inline with the mic at small gigs (where phantom power not a problem as they use dynamics) and want to simulate as much as possible that environment when Im practising at home. I only have a condenser...

    Phantom Power for Oktava MK-219 Mic

    Hi I practise my live set at home using an old Octavia MK-219 Mic, into a TC-Helicon Mic Mechanic (v1) into a Steinberg u22 into powered monitors The Octavia MK-219 hisses a lot though as it needs 48V Phantom Power and the Mic Mechanic only produces 24V What would be the best cheap and easy...

For the demos, for the guitar I've been using VSTS for effects and amp sims, so now need something real for gigging. Here's what I need: - Chorus, delay, reverb, overdrive, amp &...

    Can I safely connect an audio interface into a boss rc-300 looper

    Hi there Ok thanks for that. Yeah tried it as you said with volume down and there's no problem at all. I guess it's really just line out to line in, so not a problem. Thanks a lot for the help and have a good xmas :) Masten

    Can I safely connect an audio interface into a boss rc-300 looper

    Hi, Can i safely connect the outputs of a Steinberg ur-22 interface to a Boss rc-300 looper. Bit worried as I'm not sure whether it's designed to take that. I guess the auxiliary input is designed for ipods and stuff so it shoud be OK I guess. I'm using the left jack input for guitar, so there...
