AKG 420 question - IndieTalk

thomasS · 12-01-2009, 08:22 AM

Iv bought a RODE NTG2 SHORT SHOTGUN MIC. with a phantom battery pac, and was wondering whether that same power unit would be compatible with my indoor AKG 420, which as of yet I have only been running off a an interface and computer. Risk of a power serge breaking the diaphragm?

Thank you.

Phantom power is phantom power so it shouldn't be a problem. I just wouldn't want to use the 420 on the set, it's awfully big and heavy...

Not ideal I know but cant afford a suitable one at the mo. Glad I can at least power it.

Thank you again Alcove Audio.
