Next question: phantom power is used to generate the internal voltage used by the mic electronics and a bias generator. The bias generator creates the capsule bias voltage which is usually 60VDC ?in run my mics at 80V ?rode goes higher. It is only present when the mic is powered on. That voltage charges the mic capsule, which is a capacitor or “condenser” in 1930’s speak. When sound vibrates the gold plated diaphragm the capacitance changes and that results in a vintage change in the capsule. Which is what we want.?

I will clean the flux and debris off tomorrow.
Many thanks for the explanation, Jules. That would explain the newly discovered behavior.?
