Cable for Studio Projects C1 into Alesis iO Dock

Post by dobroz » Mon Apr 13, 2015 8:43 am

I'm hoping you can give me a bit of advice on my new microphone. I am using an XLR female to 1/4" jack cable to run the C1 into my Alesis iO dock (first generation). I don't get any signal in Auria or GarageBand from the C1 but it works fine with my AKG D950 dynamic mic. Does the C1 only work with XLR to XLR? Thanks!

The C1 needs +48v phantom power. I don't think you can get phantom power from 1/4" jack.

Use a regular mic cable, (XLR male to XLR female) and set the phantom power switch to "on". Adjust input trim as needed to prevent distortion.
