Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- So in This Video we are Looking at the difference of using your XLR mic with a audio interface or cheaper phantom power supply. The Audio interface is the well known Motu M2 Interface and the phantom power 48v is a product made by Neewer. All this is being heard through the BM-800 xlr Mic
We can see the Motu M2 sounds amazing but after a few tweaks in OBS software the Neewer Phantom Power supply sounds a heck of a lot better. So depending on the your budget you can make the choice that's best suited for you. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

What setup do you currently use?
I have a Rockville RCM02 condenser microphone and a Rockville PSP5 phantom power supply. It seems like I’m still getting no power to my mic even with the PSP5 I am lost
@@chi6831 you should be ok with a condenser mic...maybe you have a faulty power supply.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan quick qeustion would the Neewer one work with a Audio Technica at2035 and be ok?
@@76Kritical it would work but be OK is subjective...it was ok in obs as you heard but it definitely wouldn't be sounding it's best. I understand money is always the consideration.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan yea I was just wondering because I was also thinking of getting the Scarlet Focusrite interface but it’s a little expensive far all that
the phantom power device isn't meant to replace an audio interface, you use it with interfaces that don't have phantom power ...
In content creation many people are using the phantom power supply by itself.
If you buy a audio interface without phantom power in my opinion your wasting your money. Thanks for watching!👍
I bought a preamp but I noticed it doesn't have phantom power which my mic needs, so I bought a phantom power supply, will it be fine? Will there be noise?
What preamp doesnt have phantom power? I bought the cheapest audio interface on amazon and it has 48v.
Are you positive?
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan is a mixer/pre amp and.i love I canada so it might be different
@@rsm2328 wish I could help you knowing your equipment. The scarlet 2i2 audio interface would be great or motu m2
Thanks again Coffee, Talk & Tech, Very Interestin'!! Enjoyed!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan
Thank you!
I use a alpha lexicon with a phantom power supply with MXL 990 works good
It works well?
Yep
Excellent video. Thank you so much. It clarified many doubts I had. Is there any god (tight budget) audio interface with phantom power supply built-in?
Thanks for watching. One of the best bang for buck is the scarlett solo or if you can afford more a motu m2. The scarlett can be found for 120 new and about 80 used. Just make sure it's a Gen 3.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan Thank you so much:)
@@leninha-carioca anytime let me know what you end up with.
Another helpful video sir
Thanks so much
GREAT INFO THANKS
Glad it was helpful!
clean explain thankq
Thanks!!!
Nice explanation
Thanks so much for watching and the kind comment.
i have the bm800 setup but the original mixer failed. I just got a teyun na4 which has xlr/phone multiports with 48 volt phantom and a 50Hz noise gate. i was curious about whether the bm800 is good enough for voice and instrumentation tracks and even maybe eventually some live streaming. so far I guess it's good enough. i also have a tascam dp-01 track recorder/editor that only has usb for sharing the final mix back to my computer but already
with this stuff I have more features than I have even used yet. I have about 10 instruments and voice potential
and have been experimenting with track recording for at least 10 years. I do have a 5v phantom powered usb/3.5mm similar to the bm800 (also shock mounted on a boom) from vegue and a portable rolling digital/analog karaoke rig from vegue. that rig also has some wireless condenser mics which are more for live performance than track recording.
eventually I hope to finish some stuff and upload it to facebook and maybe YT but right now my channel is just for listening/watching other stuff and getting ideas.
Thanks for sharing your long history of audio. Maybe this is the year you make a video and share yourself. Livestreaming can be lots of fun too. Go for it!!
Very helpful
So glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment. I livestream every Thursday 9pm est. You can ask anything.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan im in Philippines. I might be still sleeping that hour sir. Ahaha.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan thanks, yes subscribed to your channel too. Thank you so much. I do livestream in an app called KUmu, where i do singing . Im listening to videos pertaining on how to improve sounds and music. Your content is so helpful to small time creators like me.
@@merjaymermanph so cool thanks for being here.
Well isn't a phantom power supply a good thing when it comes to recording drums within a band? Because there are many dynamic mics but only the overheads of the drums use phantom power...would that be a good use? Because I am scared that I'd destroy the dynamic mics if I put phantom power on the whole mixer only because of two overheads...
Phantom power is used with condenser mics or when you add a mic booster like a fet head or cloudlifter to a dynamic mic or you will damage the mic.
this is not a good way phantom ps have 2 variant: a simple power connector AND usb power, and to me use the usb power in charger make a ground issue
I agree but it may be a cost thing for many people not being able to afford a audio interface. thanks! for watching.
Hi, I have bm800 + phantom power power supply, i want to upgrade to better audio quality i will buy behringer c1 but i want audio interface i found alot of them in ali express and amazon and I don’t know which one is good price and quality what do you prefer for me . Thanks you for the explanation.
So Take a look at this fifine audio interfaceamzn.to/3sMtEAp I will be doing a review on it soon. Also Maybe the Neoua-cam.com/video/lYWHFzYtU8c/v-deo.html I did a video on will be good for you. Both are low cost till you can afford better.
heyy! im thinking of upgrading my phantom power to a m track solo, will it be a considerable difference or should i keep my phantom power and save some money to buy a better interface? what you think
The m track solo or this ua-cam.com/video/Yn2eCiS3gxs/v-deo.htmlsi=D0MOMYjmDX4vG4hm at $50 these are your best bets. The better option would be a focusrite solo but you would be over double the price.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan which do you prefer? this Fifine SC1 or the M Track Solo??
If you’re making music. Audio interface sounds way cleaner than a power supply. No comparison. Hands down.
Absolutely plus the motu is really quiet...but it's a huge price difference and for many that's the factor. Thanks for watching and your comment!!🙂
Enjoyed your video and as a beginner wishing to do voice over work I bought the AT 2020 mic. I also bought a Neewer 48V Phantom Power Supply. I am wondering if I would be better off returning the Neewer and buying a Scarlet Focusrite interface. What are your thoughts?
Hi Brenda! Thanks for watching. The quality difference between the neewer and the Scarlett or motu is huge. There would be no question the audio interface would be the better choice.
@@SLP-eb1wp better quality electronics and the audio interface here has one of the cleanest preamps in the market for the price range.
@@SLP-eb1wp The audio interface has a preamp, and a good one. The phantom power has no preamp, so the signal is low voltage, so ya gotta turn it up, and you hear the self noise of whatever you use to turn it up. The pre amp on the interface means that signal is already turned up to line level when it arrives at your computer or other target.
Hi i bought samson co1 condenser microphone, but I don't have an audio interface, can i buy phantom power box for a start.
Thanks for watching. Yes you can use a phantom power supply. If you can save up for a used scarlett solo for 80 bucks that be great.
can you make a tutorial with phantom power and audio interface set up and combine them all
I'll put that on the list of videos to do.
I know this is an old video, but what is the "noise suppressor" you're referring to at 3:28? Is that software or hardware?
Yes software all done in obs.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan wonderful, thanks so much
@Themata thanks for watching 👀
I’m a bit confused. you don’t really go into how you hook up the phantom power supply to your computer or your camera. my guess is that you are using a built-in interface somewhere instead of the USB of the interface
I show you the unit itself. It’s just a power supply to xlr mic and a audio interface in obs.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan sorry if I wasn’t clear what connector do you plug the cable from the phantom power supply. is it directly into your computer or do you go to another interface.
My BM700 (little brother to 800) plugs directly into the mic input of my computer with the supplied cable, running off the mic power from the computer.
@@TomCee53 it really be from power supply to pc via xlr 3pin to 3.5mm input. Which will give you more power then just plugged into your pc.
Sir can i ask, is the Beringer U phoria interface could boosts my SM 58 while using in a live streaming? I want to make the sound louder and clearer. Since the interface has a gain. And phantom power wont work in dynamic mics
The beringer um2 will work ok better then nothing. But a better choice would be a a scarlett solo. I know its double the price but you will get a much better audio interface. With more gain.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan ohh how much gain does the difference sir? If i may ask again
Hi, I wanted to know whether Audio-Technica AT2035 with phantom power is better option than a USB mic for vocals recording?
That's a great question!! So nowadays the usb mics have improved so much. The at2050 is a good mic it's just the phantom power destroys it's quality. I know this might sound crazy but the elgato wave 3 mic with the wave software can do sooo much. You can app free vst's and have several pluggins that make your audio amazing. Just look at what this software does to this blue yeti it sounds really good at the end. This was using a stream deck plus which allows you to use any usb mic. The wave 3 is really good too. Watch this
ua-cam.com/video/jpIKNGy_SxM/v-deo.htmlsi=CVCvKF_r2BpBwSKm hope this helps.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan Thanks for your suggestion. However, I already own a budget (MAONO) USB condenser mic. I was planning an upgrade to XLR mic as I do experience occasional lag while recording vocals with a background track with USB mic. Should I still consider Blue Yeti or Rode USB mic over Audio-Technica AT2035 XLR with phantom?
@ThisisDakash well lag can come from many different reasons. If I were using a good mic I'd want a decent audio interface.
@@ThisisDakash it really all depends what you want an xlr mic but I'd get a audio interface or a usb by elgato that you can have full control with audio routing and vst's to enhance your voice. You're decision.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan thanks for the info. I’ll definitely consider it
Can I ask if you need to hook it up with computer?
So the audio interface would be a yes via usb and just the power supply it does connect to your pc via a 3.5mm jack into your sound card. So that be yes too.
So I’m thinking about getting the Scarlet solo Gen 3. I’m going to be using the AT2035, is that all I need and will it be good?
Nothing wrong with that setup. That's a perfect way to upgrade your audio. CONGRATS!! Just make sure you have your xlr cable for your mic and some headphones or earbuds to monitor your output. 👍
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan I’m going to be getting the Beyerdynamic 990 pro 250. I need a good amp as well tho. Got any recommendations on what I can use that’ll be cheap but work really good with the headset?
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan need an XLR cable too, would like to know which you think would be best as well. Sorry asking a lot of questions, new to all this
Now am recording videos from my phone, can you tell me the bm800 with phantom power will be good?
And thax
First thanks for watching..ok if your just using your phone you may just want to use a regular lav mic for cheap. The other choice may be a wireless mic like the pixel voical air that I just did a video on. Hope that helps.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan yes thank you, but some times I do an audio recording to read something or maybe like Voice Over
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan i have a lav mic but i want something deeper, sorry if my English is not too good
@@winter.coffee a xlr mic is a good way to start but a good audio interface is important. The bm800 is cheap and can get the job done. A good audio interface will cost a decent amount but you will have it for years.
@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan Thank you, I appreciate your time and wish you an enjoyable cup of coffee
Holy Crap, Batman. Serious noise issues. Thanks for saving me $20 - I will buy something better, cleaner. JT
Glad to help!!! Thanks for watching.
