Hi Tom. I'm the one who started this thread. I didn't know that about computer mics. How much voltage do they use. Could I run it from the phantom power in my mixer? Some how I doubt that, If I remember correctly, phantom power is 40 volts. There's not that much voltage anywhere in a computer, unless they generate it from an inverter. Seems unlikely. How much voltage do these mics need. Is it applied from the ring to the sleeve? Regards. Max. K 4 O D S. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Transistor site http://www.funwithtransistors.net.
