The CM15P and CM20P receive the phantom power directly from a micconnector or cable when connected to a mixer that includes a phantom supply. The power is sent OUT of the micro-phone INPUT, riding silently along with the audio signal. Most mixers have a switch to engage the phantom power,so be sure to check that the phantom power is on.Microphone Placement and PositioningThe CM15P and CM20P have been designed to be placed on a podium or table top and connected to a standard XLRconnector.
