 Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel this is Daniel Rossell here bringing you another video today on camera accessories and I wanted to show today an interesting audio setup I'm currently using to record this video with. Firstly the microphone I'll start with that a Audio Technica 8875R which is a short shotgun microphone it's not really intended to be used as I'm using it like an interview mic but it is a terrific short shotgun there aren't that many of them on the market I could find I recently bought the Canon XA40 which is a really compact camcorder and so I wanted this shotgun microphone that wouldn't kind of overwhelm the camcorder so it was really really great microphone really happy with it but that's what I want to make the video about. I recently picked up an XLR wireless pair from Lakato and I went for a pretty budget XLR wireless system that's what the top part you can see here that's the transmitter and the receiver is going into a direct plug-in XLR to my XA40 about 60 centimeters in front of me here. Now what I noticed about the XLR systems is you can get ones that can deliver phantom power in fact UVive which is the intermediate component do actually make one the UVive U3C C standing for condenser that's a XLR plug-in wireless system capable of delivering phantom but the cheaper ones on the market and I went for this Lakato MK5 thing is definitely on the cheaper end of the XLR wireless systems they typically won't deliver phantom so what happens if you want to use a microphone that needs phantom such as the audio technique I'm recording speaking into which needs 48-fold of phantom power but your XLR pair doesn't support phantom and that is where the intermediate piece in this rig comes in it's the UVive and I'm going to actually just kind of turn around so you can see I'm using a really short XLR cable to keep this all tight together it's the UVive P1 and what this is I did not know that these things existed until I googled on Amazon something like phantom power injector in other words some kind of an electronic that its only purpose was to add phantom power into the receiving end and then pass through the audio signal and this is just basically all it does so basically it's a battery it has an input and output side XLR on either side so I'm connecting you can see the XLR transmitter directly into the output terminal here on the on the P1 and then on the input side it's just that short shotgun microphone leading up into the into the into the microphone I'm speaking into you've got 12 volts and 48 volts of phantom power and an on off toggle on off toggle and that's all it does it's a simple piece of gear no need to make it complicated it charges up over usb type c and there you go so basically the the point of this video is if you have a microphone that needs phantom power and you own a XLR wireless system that doesn't deliver phantom power you're not out of luck you can buy yourself a UVive P1 and that can go straight into your transmitter and that will inject phantom power into the microphone coming into the wireless transmitter and then you'll be able to get it working perfectly recording into your camcorder hope that was helpful if you've if you're in that sort of dilemma or that's your situation this was about $50 on amazon.com and definitely I think a super useful thing to have in my audio bag going forward thank you guys for watching if you'd like to get more videos from me please feel free to subscribe to this youtube channel
