Does 3Dio need phantom power?
No. Like most microphones, 3Dio microphones require a pre-amplifier to boost the output audio signal. Plugging the microphone directly into a computer will result in a very quiet to inaudible signal. We recommend a portable digital recording device or audio interface that will boost the signal to line level.
