Hi,

beginner's queston about mic and phantom power :-)

I have already an Hi-MD NH900 which I used for some recordings with a cheap
noisy small Sony external microphone.
Now I would like to buy an external mic (also in view of buying a new
recorder in a near future, maybe a LS11 or D50, I'll see...) , and  having
read all the enthusiastic reviews of Rob Danielson here
https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/type/www/audio-art-tech-gallery/index.html
I thought to buy a Rode NT-1A.

I'm a beginner, so my question could sound really basic, I know and I'm
sorry for that.

But seeing that I should use an external 48v power between the mic and the
hi-md, which one is a wise choise? I saw the ART Phantom II Pro, which is a
bit cheaper than the Rolls PB224. Do you think is it ok?
And second question (even more basic, sorry!): which cable should I use to
connect the ART to the small 3.5 input oh the NH900?

Thanks a lot for your help, and have a nice weekend!!

   Ric.
