Hi. I am running a small studio in my home. At the heart of it, is my computer, powering an E-MU 1616m sound card. (http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=505&subcategory=491&product=15189) I have recently upgraded my crappy dynamic mic to an AKG Perception 200 Condenser mic. (I don't have a link for that, as it has been discontinued. Anyone know why, by the way?) The AKG requires phantom power, and the sound card's dock supplies 48v phantom power. I am using a Balanced XLR to TRS cable so the phantom power can reach the mic. (As opposed to an unbalanced cable) But the mic will not work. I can not get the VU Meter on my sound cards mixer software to budge. Every other dynamic mic that i have tried works fine. What am i doing wrong?
