Just bought an ECM8000 condenser mic, it needs phantom power. Does the virus ti polar have it or do I need a preamp? Can I run a mic through the virus once I have the power for the mic?
Mic with the virus

The Virus doesn't have phantom power, so yes, you will need a pre-amp for anything that requires 12 volt phantom power. However most condenser mic's don't actually need phantom power and should work correctly with a low-z to hi-z cable. Then make sure to bump up the input gain a bit.

you need a preamp. the inputs of the Virus are line level inputs.
