Building my home recording station: Some questions.

[Dextortion]

So I decided that I need to start my own recording situation to start recording my music. I stumbled upon this forum a few days ago and read through the stickied microphone threads.

Upon reading these, I decided to order a MXL V67G microphone for my vocals and I ordered a set of two MXL 603's for any instrumental purposes. I just recently purchased a soundboard from our local music store because I felt like giving them business. It is a Peavey PV6 USB. It seems to do the trick.

Anyway, I understand that the V67G mic requires phantom power, and that the 603's do not. This Peavey soundboard has phantom power. I have already received the V67G in the mail, so as such I have already run through a couple of testing tracks. It struck me that when I receive the 603's I do not know how exactly it will work.

If the V67G needs phantom power, and the 603's do not, and my soundboard doesn't delineate phantom power between the different tracks, is this a problem?

The music I make is pretty much all one-take, singing and strumming at the same time, no other option - type of stuff. If I plan on running the V67G and a 603 at the same time, through the same board, while one uses phantom power and the other does not, will this work?

I've also ordered shock mounts, a pop filter and everything else for the setup. I want to do this as legitimately as I can.

Any input is welcome,

Thanks!

The rechnical specifications for the MXL 603 on MXL's web site, here, say that the 603 requires phantom power. I wonder what makes you think it doesn't if the manufacturer says it does.

603s need phantom power

Oh sorry about that! I must have been getting my information mixed up with some other type of microphone.

So in that case, with phantom power I should be able to run all my microphones just fine together at the same time, right?

Thanks a bunch guys.

Since they all require PP, yep!

Also, it doesn't normally hurt dynamic mics, but they don't need it so I wouldn't recommend it unless it's absolutely unavoidable. However, I've heard a few stories from people that have screwed up their ribbon mics because of PP.
