Topic: Powering Schoeps CCM 41 microphones

Always good to err on the side of kindness in our responses. We're not here to discourage questions. I certainly have a lot of them myself. YMMV

I learned a few things by asking this question that I am very happy about.

Maybe I can give ero3030 an ABC about a meaning of a forum:

A forum is an online discussion space that offers space to multiple people with shared interests. A forum is also called an internet or discussion forum. On this public discussion platform questions can be asked, opinions can be shared.

Don't worry man.
There's no such thing as stupid questions.
Glad you asked and glad to see you bought Schoeps.
We have had a bit of the same mics over the years.
I like the Schoeps mics the most and I'm sure you'll like them too.

About ero3030 or other people that are being rude sometimes; be easy on them. You never know what problems/demons someone is fighting. Of course it's best to be kind, but for some people it's not always possible. Just ignore it and kill it with kindness.

Can I power two Schoeps CCM 41 microphones with the phantom power of a ZOOM F3 or do I still need a RiotBox or something similar?

For real? 3k for mics and u ask a question like this.  Like buying a motorcycle and ask how to ride. Don't get it

Simple question, simple answer. No need to get all snarky about it. Now do you get it? Bob(who doesn't know everything but isn't afraid to ask)

First thing u learn in this hobby.  Powering gear( how to make battery pack) and how to power your mics.  ABC stuff

First thing you learn in this hobby is...some tapers are assholes.

Did test at home some different batteries in the ZOOM F3 and the only that are useful are Lithium (5,5 hours) and NiMH (3,5 hours) batteries or at least a 5000 mAh power bank.

Some great mics there.  A lot of great tapes made back in the day with ccm4’s and an Aerco.  I prefer the 41’s myself.  Now you know—enjoy.

I'm a asshole for calling out a 50 year old man for being incompetent on buying high end mics and not have a clue on how to use them?  Read the form,. Make educated decisions,. THEN. Ask questions.  No name calling on my part. Uall know it's crazy to buy before u know what u r doing.  Call me what u please.

There's nothing wrong with asking questions. That's what the forum is for.
You did the same, and people helped you.

Kindness costs nothing.

Thanks Ed for your "figure it out yourself" advice!

The question wasn't about the microphones but if the ZOOM F3 could handle the phantom power on it own or with help from a external box.
