FOlks I also have this mic

With the compact am i going to get any more feedback or hiss from a condenser than i would with a dynamic mic thru channel one?

I would imagine you would not have the volume past 12 oclock with a condenser?

Hi John,

The Compact microphone line does not have phantom power.

I really like my AKG C535 and I have been using with with an external phantom power supply***. It sounds great.

I don't find that this is any more prone to feedback or hiss than the dynamic microphones I have here.

It is difficult to say that any particular setting (e.g. 12:00 o'clock) will or will not work. This has to do with the distance between the microphone and the Compact, and a host of other variables like how you have positioned the microphone and room acoustics and and and...


*** I was just experimenting to see how it worked; using a battery powered phantom power supply. I was very pleased with the results.

In most performance situations - if I really wanted to run phantom power I would probably use my T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine. This does have phantom power.

ok
I have the Tonematch on order so you are saying I can use the TM phantom power into the Compact and it should be ok?
Im hoping coz i love this mic

The AKG C535 into the T1® into the Compact is a great combination.

That's a great microphone.
