I GOT THE POWER
Skylight is a condenser microphone, which contributes to its
lush tone and sensitivity. It also means that it requires 48 Volts
of external power to operate (which is sometimes referred to
as “Phantom Power”). Most USB audio interfaces, modern
mixers, and recording devices are equipped with phantom
power, which is typically accessible via a switch or button
labeled “48V” somewhere near the microphone input or
on the front or back panel. (note: Before turning on phantom
power, it’s a good idea to turn your speakers down or take off
your headphones, as theres often a bit of a “pop” sound as the
power first kicks on.) Once youre connected and powered
on, youre ready to rock.
