MinisterX Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi everyone, so here's the scoop.... I have a condenser microphone with Phantom 48V power connected to my POD, in this order: Microphone (BM-800) > XLR Cable > Phantom Power > XLR Cable > POD Mic In. In my POD, Input 1 is set as Guitar + Aux, and Input 2 is selected as Mic. I was not able to get anything out of the microphone at all. Microphone works on its own if I connect it to my computer. I tested everything with my DAW (Fruity Loops) and ASIO drivers - Fruty can't pick up anything from Input 2. Guitar works fine... I even tried setting Mic in Input 1, but nothing happened. Tried using different cables, but that didn't work as well. Tried different presets for vocals but that didn't work. Can you please let me know on how I can solve this? Thanks so much!

But still nothing coming out from the mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried 3 different XLR cables (2 of them brand new). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
