M-Audio Micro Track with Neumann KM 184
Anyone tried to use the Micro Track with Neumann KM 184 microphones?
They need phantom power, but are not listed at M-Audio as microphones you can use... Do not want to use an external pre-amp when making field recordings, defeats the point... (Or is there one, small and on batteries available?) |

(Or is there one, small and on batteries available?) You should be aware that the Micro Track supplies only 30 volts for its phantom supply. Neumann mics need 48 volts or else the headroom is seriously compromised. There are many external battery powered phantom supplies which provide a full 48 volts. Scott Fraser |

Seems a pitty though: dragging an external power supply with you, when you were promised one by M-Audio... I will look for one. Any suggestions (Brand, type?) Bart |

Is it too late to return the Micro Track? If not, please be sure to bitch seriously at M-Audio. Hell, they even labelled the phantom switch "48V" on early units. Audio-Technica makes a small outpoard phantom supply. -- ha |

Thanks Scott, for your help. It's to late to return the Micro Track, I
'm afraid, but I will give M-Audio hell. Already wrote them, but only got a very luke-warm response. Bart |
