Hello all!
I am having trouble figuring out why I cannot use a condenser mic (Rode NT5) on a Steinberg MR816CSX audio interface via an XLR - TRS cable.
I should probably mention that I activated the phantom power +48v on the corresponding channel. Also I had no problem using the condenser mic via an XLR-XLR cable as well as a dynamic mic via the same XLR - TRS cable in question (through the same combo jack).
So I would apreciate it if someone would provide an explanation to this one.
P.S. I checked the cable with a Behringer CT100 cable tester and when I engage phantom power it only indicates receiving it for a very short time (-1s) after which the corresponding LED turns off. With an XLR-XLR cable the LEDs stay on. So is that a rule maybe that TRS connectors do not support phantom power??
