[QUOTE="David Morison, post: 215275, member: 2076"] You didn't say which model of adapter you have to connect the MiniXLR to the XLR: AKG's own product for this is more than just a wiring adaptor - it also reduces the voltage of the phantom power as the -L version of the mic only wants to see between 2 and 12V, not the normal 48-52V of phantom power supplied by regular mixers or indeed your Zoom P4: [url=https://www.akg.com/support/MPA+III+L+_.html]Link[/url] If your adapter does not have this voltage reducing function built in, that would explain the mics not working. You may have also damaged the mics unfortunately. You probably won't be able to tell if the mics are damaged until you get them on the correct phantom power voltage though. HTH, David. [/QUOTE]
