Semi-stupid phantom power and the UA5 question.
« on: October 21, 2004, 10:22:06 PM »
Well i'v had my w-mod ua-5 for about a year now and i love it ... but tommarow i want to do something i have yet to do with it and i just want to check and make sure i'm not going to fuck anything up ... and that is: use one mic with phantom power on. It says in the manual that you should never turn on phantom without proper equpiment plugged in ...but what happens if i only use one input?

Any help much apreciated.
-Aaron

P.S. The reason for using only one mic is i'm going to be recording a friend of mine telling stories for a little collection of travaling stories i'v decided to put together and publish. This guy tells amazing stories ... he once hitched a ride with a trucker who stabbed a guy to death with  a screwdriver.

shouldn't be a problem, why not record in stereo?

Thanks for the input.

Because i dont want to have to carry an extra mic, cable and shock mount ... its only one voice so stereo seems overkill.

I'm just trying to figure out why you want to make a one channel recording
speech or not,why not have it sound it's best?

fwiw even though you'd be recording with one mic hooked up you'd still be making a sereo recording. The other channel will just have no information.
