Double Bass DTAR Solstice and Phantom Power

Nick Ioannucci said:
while researching adding a mic to my amplification setup and searching for a blender i found the DTAR Solstice, and was fairly impressed at the options, and it looked like it would do what i needed it to. Then i read here i believe that it does not have a full 48v Phantom power. would i be able to use a sure sm57 or sm58 with this blender or no?

The SM57 & 58 do not require phantom power, you are good to go.

One of the reasons I sold my Solstice was that the phantom power wasn't quite enough to power the mics I was using. Some of the electret mics only need 9V or so, but others (e.g. Neumann KM-183/4/5) need the full 48V to work correctly.
