I just recently bought a Rode NT1-A condenser microphone for home recording, went out and bought a mixer making sure it had phantom power. The mixer is a Behringer Xenyx Q502. I have the phantom mic line in plugged in, then just my headphones to hear whats coming through the mic, but nothings happening. I have phantom power on, and well as "To Phones" but i dont get anything, Ive tried a bunch of things but nothing will get me sound form the micro phone. I know its not the mic because I used it on the bigger bixer i have downstairs, am i doing something wrong, i dont believe that its the phantom power, the mic requires Phantom P48, P24, and the mixer supplies a switch able +48/+15 V phantom power supply for condenser microphones.

LEt me know if you guys can help! Thank you!

no thats the thing im not, but i did a test on my computer for the ehadphones and i see the input lights up when the sounds coming through that way, but not the mic
 
The NT1A manual implies that the mic requires a minimum of 24 volts of phantom power.
