Newbie question: the AT853a is listed to use "either battery or phantom". Whereas AT853Rx are "phantom only".
Am I missing out on anything if I go for the AT853Rx instead? Do they have any obvious advantages?
I intend to run them with a UA5, so I won't ever have to worry about battery power, right?!

if you have a preamp that provides P48, then go with the Rx version. AT853a comes with a battery box/phantom power module (AT8532) which will work off a AA battery, but i will guarantee you brickwalled/distorted recordings in most situations. if you're recording acoustic, choir and unamplified vocals then the 1.5v power scheme is fine, but certainly not in a concert setting.

Post by: sunjan on February 21, 2005, 11:54:55 AM: Thanks a million, leegeddy!

Is there any concise rundown of all mics that make full use of the phantom power from UA5 (just like 853Rx)?

I've been looking at Bri's excellent gear listing:
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=35004.0

But does it really specify all common "taper mics" that use phantom power?

Post by: pfife on February 24, 2005, 07:55:19 PM: almost all mics can/will use phantom power, especially when you look beyond stealth mics into full bodied mics. Some will run off either batteries or phantom power (some naks, I believe, AGK C1000). Sound Pro's stealth mics, core sound binaurals, and the DPA miniatures are the main ones that run off less power than P48. Most (or all) of these will be fried if one pushes +48v through them.
