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?

Yes. The F3 provides P48 phantom power for (2) CCM41s just fine.

Thanks for the quick reply goodcooker!

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

There are no stupid questions, it's only stupid if you don't ask anything!
Thanks for the kind help.

As long as you have a box that provides Phantom48 you are fine. Just make sure you have it engaged. Any pair of mics into an F3 is about as easy as it gets. Record > Hold ... come back after the show.

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)

Just be careful on powering F-3. Likely will need an external batteries or at least lithiums. All doable but don't go to a festival expecting Duracell AA's to last all day.
Good question and actually only issue is rge u for likely available in other posts. Look forward to the recordings.

Thanks daspyknows and yug du nord
At a concert 4 hours is enough for me, at a festival i need a powerbank.
-
You will likely need a power band over 2 hours, maybe less.

^^ yes.
FYI if you are planning to buy new mics, the CMC1 + mk41 draw less power than the CCM41 I believe.
Either way, plan on battery swapping or power bank after 2hrs.
I have never tried -- does anyone know -- can you plug in a battery pack and have the F3 switch to using it WHILE recording? Works on my MixPre's but I have never tried on my Zoom F3.
-
Yes, you can do that on the F3
-
I have a small Li-ion 2500mAh power bank, is that enough or do I need more?
Found in the manual...
Estimated continuous operation time using batteries with PHANTOM at 48 V (5 mA):
Alkaline batteries: about 2 hours
NiMH batteries (1900 mAh): about 3 hours
Lithium batteries: about 7.5 hours

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

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.

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.
