> Yep, the 48 V phantom power scheme is actually a huge waste of energy. As=
suming that the 48 V phantom power voltage provided by the recorder is regu=
lated down to 5 V inside the microphone, then only about 10 % of the provid=
ed energy is actually used to power the microphone. The other 90% is just c=

Only if a shunt regulator is used. A series regulator will waste a lot less=
, won't it?
