Well, the SM81 is an electret & it's pretty trustworthy, & it accepts more than
10 volts.

I wouldn't trust a starved condenser either, I only mentioned the NT5
because it is specifically designed for 3 phantom power levels, and
specifically says not to use any less than 18V. Can't see a mic designed
for only 48V to be happy at 15V.

As you know, the AKG C451 & C460 run on 12 volts & either would be more than
adequate for use with a Behringer spectrum analyzer.

Yeah, I made the mistake of thinking that designers really thought about how
the product would be used,

Designers really do think about how their product will be used. They just have
arrived at a different conclusion than you have, due to a different work
approach & different set of experience in the field.
