I'm looking at purchasing my first condenser microphone. I currently already own a mixer that I was planning on using with the mic that I buy, this mixer is an Alto ZMX52 however I'm having a big issue deciding which Microphone to buy due to phantom power. The mixer I currently have has an 18v Phantom power output and a lot of the microphones I'm looking at require a 48v supply.

Hello, everyone, Im very new here, and I have a question.

For certain brands, i understand they all have their "go-to's" for tom micing. I am on a budget. My LIMIT is 1500$

The mics I already have planned out for are

1 Shure SM57
2 Audio-Technica AT2035
1 Audix D6

I have a Saffire USB 6 that has two inputs, but only one 48V switch for both ins. If only one of my mics is say an LDC, is there cause for concern with using non 48V mics on the other input, given that there is 48V at this second connection?

HI
IM USING A Tascam 4 TRACK.I WANT TO RECORD DRUMS ONTO ONE TRACK. I WAS GOING TO USE A CONDESER FOR AN OVER HEAD AND A DYNAMic FOR THE BASS IN THE INPUTS OF THE PHANTOM POWER SUPPLY THEN USING AN XLR SPLITTER FROM THE OUTPUTS INTO ON OF THE TRACKS ON THE Tascam...THEN I REALISED THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM.

What mics give the toms a lot of flexibility from style to style?

Obviously won't record jazz toms the same as rock toms... what mic will give me a lot of room to move?

Thanks

who knows what kind of tom mics are being used here?

thanks a lot for everything and every one!

I have been using Sennheiser 421's for tom mics since I started recording a few years ago. They're great mics for toms but they're sooooo big and sometimes hard to position depending on the drummer's setup.

Hi Yall
So I Have this great invention in mind.
A phantom powered Buffer for ribbon mics such as the Nady RSM-2 or Oktava ml-52, beyer m130 etc.
