MXL 4000 Microphone Questions & Answers
Mxl 40000: When you plug it in it works for a split second and then volumn drops to almost zero.
Sounds like a weak or missing Phantom Power Supply. This power is supplied by the source "mixing console" and can be turned off on many models of consoles. If you have a smaller and lower end mixer it is possible it does not provide the needed Phantom Power. Also if the mic cable is incorrectly wired the Phantom Power is not being properly supplied to the mic. This also could damage the mic by putting the voltage on the wrong pin connections. Pin 1 is ground, pins 2 and 3 are audio high and low. Sorry I do know the exact connection for 2 and 3. The user/owners manual may supply the correct wiring information. A store bought cable of good quality should already be wired correctly.

Brand new 4000 does not work
Make sure the Phantom Power Supply is turned on and if it is then check your mic cable. If wired improperly the Phantom Power will not reach the microphone. If none of this helps, return it to where you purchased it or to a decent music shop and they can check it there. Have them check it while you are there so you can see if they do something you are not.

My marshall MXL V67 MIC doesn`t work
If this is a condenser micrphone it will require Phantom Power from the mixer you are trying to use it with. If Phantom Power is provided, check the cable to ensure proper wiring.

Does djx750 use phantom power
F rom what I see in the user manual no, only a dynamic mic can be used with this unit. A comdenser mic will not be powered.

Is there a battery in a mxl 992?
Has it a remove able cover or on the plug? Normally it has the word "Electret condenser" on the body. Is it a lapel type ? Modern units are invariably of this type.

I just took my MXL
This microphone requires 48v Phantom power. So if you are trying to connect it to your computer, you will need to use a USB interface that will provide phantom power. If you are connecting it via a mixer, make sure Phantom power is switched on if it is available. As the MXL 3000 is only available new from Guitar Center or Musicians Friend, they can also provide you with what else you need.
