Phantom or batteries for C1000s?

JK-Unfortunately, EMPIRICIAL evidence verified by me and countless others suggests that there is a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE b/ween 9 volt and phantom on these mics...
Why not try it yourself?!

And I respect that evidence!

My intentions were A) to challenge the _explanations_ given for why this is so
and B) motivate the original poster to run a few simple test at home to see if such statements
as "a lower noisefloor when powered by P48" etc. actually holds water.

Well, I'm taping Blues Traveler in Grand Rapids on Saturday, using C1000 > Duo. If they play 2 sets, I may try the phantom for one set and 9V for the other. Would we call that a "fair" comparison?

ive only run the C1000s with phantom, id like to know what you come up with

Frankly, I dont care one way or the other If they do 2 sets, I'll throw up 2 MP3's and let everyone else on here argue their way through it. The external power supply Len built for the Duo is noisy when using Phantom, so I only use Phantom when I know I wont be using that power supply... like tomorrow. But anyway... to be continued, I guess...
