Ok I don't get that one
Btw I've tried to use the microphone without phantom power and just plugged it straight into the pc and it works better than with the supply unit....
Still not good but I think the mixer will do the trick now

I don't get it either Ret! Dave.
Sounds good!! You must have gotten one of the 'good' ones.I don't know what you would class as a good result Mack but attached is some waffle into a BM 800 plugged into the jack on this HP i3 upon which I am typing.
By my lights the sound is not at all bad for a sub 20 quid microphone!

Well are you plugging it into the mic input (pink) ? Also some motherboards require a jumper or a software setting for the phantom on mic.
also, are you singing into the front of the mic like this:
Properly called 'plug-in power', not phantom.

Throughout the years, if heard of this power on the audio signal line referred as: P48, phantom power, lapel phantom power (12V), electrect power (5V), and electret phantom..... depending on application. I'll add plug-in-power to this.. (must be computer tech jargon)
Computer as well as video on some camcorders and DSLR's.Throughout the years, if heard of this power on the audio signal line referred as: P48, phantom power, lapel phantom power (12V), electrect power (5V), and electret phantom..... depending on application.

These Amazon/eBay 'studio' mics such as what this thread is about, generally have electret capsules which can run on plug-in power, but have electronics that can throttle down 48v phantom to be able to power the mic. I've seen one or two versions of these sold that actually used internal AA batteries for power.
Alright, so the Behringer mixer arrived today. Btw yes I was plugging the cord into the pink mic input.
With the mixer now I have zero problems at all. I can cancel out almost all the noise in the background, the volume is everything between too quiet and too loud so I can choose the perfect setting for every distance etc.
It works like a charm in my opinion and I'm really happy.

First Neewer microphones was working with the low voltage power from a computer input, but they didn't work with a standard 48V Phantom power! Newer ones work with standard Phantom power, but they don't work when they are connected to some audio cards giving a too low voltage power.[COLOR="#BF80700"]Your mic sounds better without the external phantom power supply due to the fact that the mic input jack on your computer is looking for a "line in" signal, not a powered signal. Some may disagree with my statement but I have yet to hear of anyone getting a mic to sound good using the pc 1/8 inch input jack. Talking on Skype or doing dictation, they will work just fine. Your new mixer should supply you with the added gain you need to get the job done. The last two laptops I have purchases, do not even have the mic inputs. It is all mostly USB inputs now.[/COLOR]
