I need to use a Neutrik 3382 measurement microphone for a week or so while I get my usual mic serviced and recalibrated. The spec sheet says to phantom power it with 15-30volts but my soundcard input has 48V phantom supplies - everything seems to have 48V now. Does anyone know if the microphone will be OK at the higher voltage?

Thanks for the reply, most helpful. I will try to speak to the Neutrik people, although the unit is no longer catalogued. Perhaps they will still know the answer. Ed Form

It's dawned on me that Ive been rather rude in not introducing myself to the forum: so here goes... I'm Ed Form, based in Suffolk in the UK, and I've been around the audio business for some while. In a past life I was technical director of Tannoy, and, before that, technical director of Celestion. I'm not really connected to the audio business these days, except as an occasional consultant, but I haven't lost my love of all things audio. I hope to see you all in the forum on a regular basis, now that I've found it.

After a lot of soul-searching, and in the clear understanding that any bad outcome meant buying a new microphone, I tried the Neutrik at 48volts and it has now run since late January, five days each week, and powered all day with no trouble at all. Comparative measurements indicate a sensitivity gain of just over 1dB, and I can't see any change in frequency response at all.
