Is 48 volts going through a small sound card?

Do
12

So:

I have bought a microphone that rushes when connecting with the sound card on the laptop! And a little louder than my voice (no matter how close I go to the microphone)

My plan (I'm unsure> that's why I ask):

I bought a sound card called "Sabrient USB External Sound Card"

And I wanted to buy then a phantom power which is called: "Neewer 1-channel 48V phantom power supply"

(Everything from Amazon)

Now:

Imagine, I connect the microphone with the phantom power and then finally with the usb sound card directly to the laptop!

Would it be better or worse with the whole rush?

I just do not quite understand what you have in mind.

You have a microphone that you use without phantom power and now you just want to blow in phantom power?

Or did I misunderstand something?

And if the noise is better, I can only tell you, if I know what you use so far. It also depends on what is rushing. Is due to the sound card, the micro, the cable, the settings of the PC, etc.

I do not know what a "phantom power supply" should do, but if the 48 V must be operated, comes out at 5 V input voltage nothing more.

Such an adapter has its own power supply. This is not logically operated with the 2.5W from the USB port.

This is the device, what is meant here: https://www.amazon.de/...01MRQUDSI/

I think. The asker did not give a link but this is the device that fits best.

The noise is more on the microphone I think!

Well then you probably need more of a microphone than an external sound card or something else in the art. They can't really iron out that. Which microphone do you have right now?

this one. Just stop without the phantom power!

Oh, and then of course you have to plug in phantom power. I'm not aware that mics with phantom power would work without them. Gotta say habs never tried it but the inner structure can't really work. Except for the noise of course. But sound can't be recorded without it.

Do you mean now the sound would work without noise or without sound card USB?

So you need phantom power for your microphone anyway. Everything else can't work. This is due to the technical principle of a condenser microphone that you own. Now you need a sound card. Whether USB or the internal or otherwise is almost no matter. The quality makes the difference here. And you should not save anywhere here. Imagine that on the basis of a motorway.

Your microphone is a highway with 5 tracks let's say. Now you also need a soundcard with 5 tracks. If your soundcard only has 3 tracks. Then the 5 of the microphone will not bring you either. Do you understand what I mean? (I do not mean soundtracks here, just a silly comparison.)

So buy a sound card that suits your micro.

Cheap micro = cheap sound card

good micro = good sound card

Hope it is understandable

Perfectly understood now, Thank you!

No problem

If any questions arise just write.

This little USB sound card is no good and the phantom power adapter is also very simple. A phantom power for a microphone should not just deliver 48 volts; but in order for the microphone to function as noise-free as possible, the microphone should be supplied with as ideal as possible a +48 volt DC voltage. The phantom power adapter does not do that.

These phantom power adapters are not worthwhile; because you have a USB audio interface such as The Behringer UMC22 can get. These USB audio interfaces are external sound cards that are connected to the computer via USB. The UMC22 outputs phantom power and has a better mic preamp than a small USB sound card or your on-board sound solution.

The UMC22 is a simple and inexpensive device, but delivers audibly better sound than the solution you described.
