Double Bass IA Coda: Is it possible to blend a PU & mic using both channels? Saga continues...

[BHBassman]

Just got my friend's IA Coda that I will probably buy.
Tried it Sunday on a soft jazz quartet gig & managed to get a good sound-Underwood PU only in Ch1 on a carpeted floor.
My friend used a mic for announcements in Ch 2 -sounded great. Share mic with a switch.
Brought it home & tried a Markbass Traveler 210 as an extension speaker & sounded great.
Then, tried to hook up a mic (used it with the Fishman Bass Blender-phantom power needed) but the mic did NOT work in Ch 1 or CH 2 on the Coda.
Do I need a mic that doesn't require phantom power?
If so, what kind & can you use both channels together-blending mic & PU?
Thanks

Doesn't the Coda have phantom power?

 

[Jeff Bonny]

Stupid question but did you have the phantom power turned on?

Where is it?
I had the switch on for microphone in CH 2, but the mic has a 1/4" connector not XLR.
I do have other mics, but are too large.

Just tried a condenser mic with XLR -Works!

Will buy a 1/4" male to XLR jack for my mic ($100. Mic that came with the Fishman Bass Blender
Plan on getting a better mic eventually.
For example: Used a DPA playing in the orch for the Josh Grobin Show-bit expensive-
