The Samson CL8 is a condenser microphone and requires phantom power to operate. Phantom power is standard on most quality mixers, outboard mic-pres, and hard disk recorders. You can connect the CL8 to a mixer or other microphone input that includes a phantom supply, and the microphone will receive the phantom power directly from the mic cable. Most mixers have a switch to engage the phantom power, so make sure to check that it is turned on. If your equipment does not have phantom power, you can use an external phantom power supply like the S phantom by Samson Audio. It is important to note that the CL8 does not operate on batteries and requires a phantom power source for proper functionality.
