I know the sm85 has been discontinued & there is now an sm86. But I had a friend who had this extra sm85 & said I can use it to replace my MXL V63M because I'm looking to upgrade. I called around & was told that all I really needed was an interface with Phantom Power & I already had one for my last mic. I have a Mic Mate. I know it's cheap but it did the job. Everyone I've asked told me that this should be fine to use with the sm85. But everytime I record with it it's EXTREMELY quiet. It is working & the quality sounds decent but I have to turn it wayyy up to even hear it. I don't know if maybe the Mic Mate isn't a good match with it or what else it could be. If anybody knows any solutions please help. Thank you.
