The R88A operates on standard 48V phantom power. The mic’s 12dB of additional transformer gain is ideal for recording quiet sources such as whispered vocals or softly played acoustic guitars. The extra gain also enhances the mic’s versatility, letting choose a preamp based on sound, not gain or input impedance. The active impedance buffers also help prevent noise interference on longer cable runs or when operating near lighting rigs.
