If A Tube Mic has its own Power Supply is A Micpre Necessary

Forums

Greetings and salutations to all you recording enthusiasts. I'm gonna be purchasing an SE z5600a tube mic preamptty soon. Thing is i've acknowledged that fact that it does come with its own power supply which can provide 48v of phantom power. My question is will a seperate mic preamp(Grace Design 101) be necessary to juice up the mic?

Where do you keep the B2T power supply that comes with M5?

I want to get a small 4 rack unit (SKB SLX) which I can carry on the road. I was thinking of mounting the M5 on it along with other units but I completely forgot about the B2T power supply that it needs which is so damn heavy. Have any of you mounted the power supply on the rack too? What do I do with it? Any ideas? It will be a pain to have another bag or something just for it.

external phantom power supply question

I want to buy a 48V condenser mic, but my current preamp only has +36V. If I get a stand alone phantom power supply, how would i set it up? My current set up is this. Mic-->preamp-->computer. If i got a standalone phantom power supply would i need to run it through my preamp or can I just use this set up: Mic-->phantom power supply-->computer?

Thanks so much.
