Audio Power
August 1st, 2010
How can I power the audio technica at875r condenser shotgun mic?
I recently bought the mic along with a three pin to 1/4inch adapter (to make the output 1/4 inch) but when I plug it into anything it won't receive phantom power. I've tried my home stereo, two guitar amps, a karaoke machine and a JBL speaker but nothing has worked. Did I just get a bad mic or is it a problem caused by the adapter?
Thomas - That mic will not work with that adapter and it does not have a battery option.
Your best bet is to get a small mixer which will supply the phantom power and will also act as a preamp:
