Comments about Fostex MC10ST Cardioid Condenser Microphones:

This Mics need phantom to be powered. These do a very good job using as alternate mics for my Zoom H4n hand recorder. I like a lot. And for the price, performance is hard to beat.

    Comments about Fostex MC10ST Cardioid Condenser Microphones:

    This is an excellent value and a perfectly matched pair. It comes with all the accessories you'll need to record in stereo. Great for horns or woodwinds or as drum overheads. Also good on acoustic guitar. [...] These are condenser mics and require phantom power. You can't plug them straight into an amp. You need a mixer that can deliver phantom power or a phantom power unit.These have very low self noise and good dynamic range. They case is very nice and they come with a printout showing both mics frequency response ranges (mine were basically identical).

        Comments about Fostex MC10ST Cardioid Condenser Microphones:

        I could not get these microphones to work -- maybe I'm missing something, but straight out of the box, I plugged them in to a power amplifier and tried every conceivable setting. Plugged mics I already own in and they worked fine.

        In addition, when handling one of the shock mounts trying to loosen it, it snapped in half in my hand.
