Hey all, quick question for ya. Will you fry the CMC-8s (stock from soundpros) if you dongle them into the 1/4" inputs on the MT and phantom power them? If NOT, then would you get a better quality rrecording? I know this is probably a retarded question, but I am just tryig to figure out what my options are when my new MT finally gets here.
Yes, you will fry. Do *not* connect electret mics to phantom power directly. Please do not do it
You need some kind of adapter (AT8533x, Samson PM4, etc).
