I did need to plug it into an external powered hub though, the Android tablet couldn't provide enough power out of its USB port to make it it

Ironically, there is not enough power in the powered hub to power all of my devices, so I need to use a PSU for the keyboard

The USB power apparently does not get enough power from a laptop to run the unit effectively

Gain range and phantom power are very suitable for nuanced recordings

The power is fine, but there is a faint 60-cycle hum at higher volumes.

Phantom power works well with my condensers and zero latency

only issue is iPad did not have enough power to power the unit.

The lightning camera adapter on its own will not provide enough power.

It won't break the bank.2) Phantom Power
