Rode NT1-A and m-audio questions

**htguy** · **05-14-08, 12:17 AM**

I am starting out with the subwoofer calibration "hobby," and have some basic questions. I have access to a rode NT1-A mic. My first question is can I use this mic for calibration? I also have access to an M-audio firewire solo. I want to use that unit or a similar one because I have mac computers (an ibook and an imac), and so I cannot install a sound card. My question is with the M-audio solo, do I also need to use a phantom power supply for the mic (either the rode, or that does not work I will probably get the Behrenger calibration mic that is recommended) or does the M-audio provide the power?
Thanks

The NT1a being a large diameter condenser would not be a good way to go, get the Behringer ECM8000. And yes the firewire solo is all you need, as it provides phantom power for any condenser mic that needs it.

Thanks for the really fast, good reply.
