S1000 and condenser mics

2008-08-13 by Josh

Hi all,

I just bought a condenser mic (CAD GXL2200), for that little boost in
quality over the cheap dynamics I've been using up until now. It works
fine with my mixer + phantom power, but the signal is far too weak if
I plug it directly into the S1000's (left) XLR jack. The manual is
very vague in regard to these mic jacks. Are they strictly for dynamic
XLR mics that don't require phantom power? I'm guessing I'll need to
run the mic through my mixer's pre-amp first and into the line-in on
the Akai, correct?

Cheers,
-Josh
