Using a mic with the POD X3

Zoltta · 07-13-2008, 06:24 PM

Well ive tried it and even read the manual 100 times and i still cant figure it out. I get nothing but a really low sound and ive tried everything.

Can someone give me a step by step deal that can help me?

Condenser Microphones need phantom power to run. Pod X3 does not offer phantom power, therefore you need a phantom power box in order to power the microphone up. You can purchase these from any music/pro audio shop.

that kind of solves everything

unfortunately there really isn't any pro audio / music shops here in Bahrain

but i do have a presonus firebox which i just realized has phantom power...yup i'm stupid
