Q: 5. Will this work to provide line level control and phantom power to an Alexa Mini, and if so, what other components would be needed to ensure it works well?

A: Yes, you need to make sure you have the appropriate phantom power setting; 48volt is the most common, and make sure your Alexa is set to line level input. All you need is 2AA batteries, a microphone, and two XLR cables. One to connect the mic to the MM1, and another to go out of the MM1 to the Alexa. Recommend energizer ultimate lithium batteries. They'll last days.

Q: 8. Could I use this between a phantom power boom mic and wireless transmitter? Trying to make a wireless boom.

A: Yes, you can use the M48 to supply phantom power for the mic and then send the output to your wireless transmitter. As another option, you may want to consider using a plug-on wireless transmitter that will connect directly to the mic's XLR output and will supply 48V phantom power to the mic. Not all plug-on transmitters have the ability to supply phantom power so check details to make sure the transmitter you select does provide that feature. There are many manufacturers that offer this type of transmitter and you may be able to purchase one that is compatible for use with your existing system or you may want a separate system for a plug-on transmitter. Please contact us directly by phone or through live chat if you would like further assistance.
