NEVER RUN A RIBBON MIC WITH PHANTOM POWER!
WTF?
I wonder how many mics have been ruined by this misunderstood application!
Ribbon Mic and Phantom Power - Clearly Explained

Ribbon Mic and Phantom Power Problem Defined
Lots of multi-channel audio interfaces and small mixing consoles have grouped phantom power switches. Or even just one switch for all the channels. On the other hand, using ribbon microphones in combination with other microphone types is a normal working situation. If a setup includes condenser microphones then powering up a group is a must. So, if you have a single +48V switch, this old question pops-up.
In Most Cases +48V is Safe
Good thing first. In most cases phantom power is not harmful at all. The preamp circuitry feeds the current via two signal wires of a microphone cable. On the other side, these signal wires are connected to the secondary winding of a ribbon mic output transformer. Transformers do not pass the direct current. As a result, transformer blocks the phantom power (which is DC) from reaching the ribbon.
Ribbon Microphone Schematic
Ribbon Mic Diagram
So, it is generally safe to use the ribbon mic with +48V engaged. However, you should avoid connecting or disconnecting a ribbon mic while the phantom power is on. Just to be safe from any possible static discharges.
The workflow should be as follows: check that phantom power is OFF, connect the ribbon microphones (and other required microphones if you have a master phantom switch only), switch the +48V supply ON, do your work, switch the power back OFF, wait for preamp reservoir capacitors to discharge (condenser microphones should stop responding, it can take several seconds), disconnect the microphones.
So, if phantom power is usually safe for a ribbon microphone, is it a myth that we have to be concerned?
When Phantom Power is not Safe
No, it is not a myth. There is one situation when a phantom power can be harmful - when you have a jack patchbay between the ribbon microphone and a power source (preamp, audio interface, e.g.).
Jack plugs short circuit the signal wires to ground for a brief moment while connecting and disconnecting. If the phantom power is ON, such short circuit will let the DC reach the motor, as only signal pins of a ribbon mic are DC protected by a transformer, not a ground pin! Such 48V impulse is very likely to destroy or severely damage the ribbon.
So, you must absolutely avoid any manipulations with plugs while phantom power is ON if you are using a jack patchbay.
By now, I have one reported case of my customer destroying a ribbon this way. So this risk is very much real. XLR patchbays, however, are safe.
Please note, that everything above is only related to classical passive ribbon microphones! Active ribbon microphones (the ones with buffering circuitry inside) require the +48V supply and will not function without it
What are you talking about lol some ribbon mics need phantom power. You must be new lmao
Got rid of my Mackie, and went to this. Hope I made a good choice. Bluetooth alone is worth it. Had weird problems where things wouldn't come on then all the sudden be on. Seems the switch/buttons are cheap on the Mackie.
I reluctantly got one , I was going to get the Yamaha but I settled for the LX12
I am Soo glad I did , I love this thing !!!
The compressor is useless , all it does is add noise 😡
But other than that , this is great !!!
I love connecting my phone with blue tooth and playing music and u tube videos through the house when I am not playing instruments
Try comparing yours to one in the store because the Compressors one I have here sounds the same as the Mackie PROfx10v2 Compressors for quality. probably still under warranty.
Thank you Ron for another great video tutorial on this mixer desk.
You always do a great review and set up tutorials. Very much appreciated and I liked and subscribed to your channel.
Awesome job. ❤️👍☘️
Hello Great video thanks for the info … I just pre-ordered through link Hope that helps you a bit... basically my goal with this is to be able to play my EDrums and bluetoothed music ""IN"" and use monitor "out" like a second bus?... to allow me to have a ""mix"" with drums a bit lower then the music ""out"" to my headphones while also having a *separate* ""mix"" out with drums a little louder or equal to music out to amp for others listing. drummer for 40+ years e stuff all new to me lol. was thinking i needed very pricey mixer or a few cheap ones . old jamhub which would have been perfect for me with these new edrums.. wish me luck thanks again
Great review, thanks a lot
Great videos. I am shopping for a mixer for my son without breaking the bank - 2 guitars, 2 mics, maybe a drum machine, maybe a keyboard. Bluetooth nput sounds like a nice to have and an output to a DAW also nice. What do you recommend? I'm thinking they might start doing some small coffee shop "open mic" type gigs.
Do you monitor the channel and comments? info would be appreciated.
You'd need to move up to the 14 Channel version to go out USB to a DAW and even then it's not multitrack USB it's just the L&R main. This mixer would be perfect for everything else he wants to do though. In order to get multitrack USB you need to move up in price significantly, look at Yamaha, Allen & Heath, Mackie, Behringer Onyx, etc.
plz tell me what is the best usb audio mixer for live streaming?
How can I use it to record on my laptop, what kind of cord would I might need??!
Can you Bluetooth this to the harbinger MLS900
No because they are both have Bluetooth Receivers you need something like the Xvive here are the links amzn.to/4ae8Cuj
Excellent review...
Which mixer do you recommend for DJ’s. Needs to have Bluetooth and Karaoke. Thanks in advance.
LX8 OR LX12
@@expertisland thank you!
Hi , I like to ask your expert advice for Bluetooth best karaoke mixer amplifier ?
Thanks
What did you end up getting?
I'm in that boat right now.
At least they got rid of the gaudy looking red letters across the front
