    Hello all,

    I would like to have your advice about my next micro.. the Rode NT1-A. I would like to know if i can plug it into the kontrol s4 with a XLR-TRS cable ?

    Moreover, i've ready this

    ""• The NT1-A requires P48 volts or P24 volts phantom
    power.
    • If the mixer or preamp does not contain this
    phantom power requirement, then an external
    phantom power supply is needed.
    • Some phantom power supplies do not supply the
    voltage at which they are rated. If the required
    voltage is not supplied, the dynamic range and
    general performance of the microphone will be
    reduced.
    • We strongly suggest the use of a reputable high
    quality power supply. Damage caused by a faulty
    power supply is not covered by the warranty."

    So, i'm a bit lost, if you have an advise, it would be really kind :D

    Thanks :)

    Essentially the microphone that you intend to use requires power to be supplied in the microphone cable. This type of power is called Phantom power.

    The S4 doesn't deliver phantom power, but a microphone pre-amp can.
