CAD M177 Power Supply?

[crazyyoda]

Hi, I recently bought a CAD M117 condenser microphone and it says I need a 24-52V phantom power supply, delivering at least 8ma for proper operation.

However, I can only find 12-48V on ebay, this here: http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Behringer-PS...346?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35adfc79f2

Will this still work? I'm new to this and I want to make sure before I buy it, thank you!

If you have a mixer or pre amp or just a converter/interface that has phantom power on them you will be all set.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm still a little bit lost. Pre amps have a power supply built in? So I just need to buy one of those or I still need the phantom power? And what is a converter/interface and what do you recommend I should do? Thanks again.

How are you to use this microphone for recording or live?

Recording. I have an XLR-USB cable for my computer.

That's not the way to go to get a good recording you'll need an interface and depending on how many channels you'll need at one time will determine which one you should purchase.

Maybe a DMP3 or a Tascam US1641 goggle them up and take a look.

Thanks for your help but those are too expensive, and I don't need anything of that caliber right now. I think I'll go with Blue Icicle lol. What do you think?

Well if that's all you can afford right now, I guess, but you'll still need phantom!
Ask Santa for an interface.
What are you using for a recording program?

 

[crazyyoda]

Apparently it provides phantom power. "Supplies 48V phantom power for condenser microphones."

I'm using FL Studio 9 for recording.

I guess you'll be fine for now then if that's all you can afford.
