So after looking around for a MIC, Instaid getting a USB plug and play MIC i ended up getting an XLR mic which needs Phantom power .
So i bought the Behringer 302USB Xenyx 5.
Today when it arrived I tried the MIC and it sounded not that much better than my gaming headset with alot of backround HISS noises and i tried messing with the settings but nothing really helped
Later after reading articles about the Mixer (which i should have done before buying)
I relized that it supplies only 15 V which is not enough power..
So does buying a phantom power supply fix the noise issue I'm having ?
if yes then I think my choices are
1. Buy a phantom power and stick it under the table
2. return the mixer (if possible) and somehow magically get money to afford a focus 2i2
Really though buying a phantom power is cheaper , I will still will end up paying 70 euros on the mixer and Psu so is there any good Audio interfaces that has 48 phantom power ?
( I just want an audio interface not a mixer to be honest)
 
If you can, return the unit and get either the Scarlett or the Behringer UMC204HD.

If that isn't an option, a phantom power supply will probably not work. You cannot disable phantom power on that interface, and it'll take a good deal of research to find out if a given phantom power supply will be able to work with that.
 


I actually requested a return and I'm waiting for confirmation
Thanks for response !
