Hi,
I recently bought the SC400 and I'm a little bit new to all of this but I can't seem to get any sound from it, I assume it's powered by a pre-amp but I tried it through my Marshall guitar amp and nothing happened. I'm yet to try it through the GarageBand software on my computer but I need an adapter first. Do I need to buy a pre-amp for this mic?
Cheers
Steve

this mic requires pahntom power, so yes a phantom power equipt standalone pre-amp or phantom power equipt pc-audio i/o device is required

stand-alone pre amps and audio in/out devices with preamps included are very cheap now

this art preamp for example offers phantom power and costs just 36.00 EUROS!

this mackie usb device offers 2 x 48v phantom power mic preamps and is also quite affordable

be careful if choosing an audio in/out type device (firewire or USB for the mac) that the phantom-power is a full 48 Volts because that SC400 mic requires a full 48volts.

Some soundcard type devices which say they have phantom-power only offer 12volts and you must perhaps add an extra external power supply to be able to achieve a full 48volts (if it is possible at all) so always check for a proper 48volts phantom power

if you already have a good audio in/out device for your mac then just get a preamp such as the first ART above
