| Post subject: | Condenser Mic |
I just bought my first board -- a Behringer PMH3000. (I am not a KJ, just a hobbyist.) I want to try recording some, and I bought a condenser microphone, and a 3-wire XLR cable. I plugged up a Sennheiser e935 dynamic to the channels, and was able to get output and record. Then I turned on phantom power on the board, hooked up the condenser mic, and looked at the level meter. After some power-up indications on the meter, the condenser mic didn't work at all. (I did let the channel settle some as they recommend.) I put a multimeter on the XLR and verified that 48V was going to the microphone. Is there something I am missing? While I understand audio a bit more than the average guy on the street, I am really a novice when it comes to the more professional equipment. |

If it's a large condenser it probably has recharable batterys. If this is the case plug it in and turn the phantom on and give it about a hour to charge. Then try it. |

Where is the gain (very top knob on the channel strip) set on the channel the condenser mic is plugged into? Is the mute button pressed on that channel? |

Thanks for the suggestions -- I think it was a battery situation, as it works now! (Guitar Center didn't give me a manual for it, and I couldn't find the manual on the web.) |
