Thank you for pointing me at bias voltage, I’ve never heard of that. The text explicitly mentions condenser mics requiring that voltage. Does this also apply to dynamic mics?

Besides, even if the signal is nasty, I would like to receive that in the system. So if this is an issue, it’s currently rather a side quest.

That might be the case, but despite this, I would like to receive the miniscule signal I can loop back in my system. But do dynamic microphones require phantom power?

It’s a dynamic mic. I feared the same, but the fact that I can hear something using the loopback suggests that phantom power isn’t the cause, right?

Why is he lacking his right lower leg? That neural networks cause solid nightmares.
