Tascam DR-40
Recently I've got the JVC M-510 Electret Condenser Super-directional Microphone and not able to find its instructional manual. It was manufactured in 80s. Contacted JVC without success.

It powered by one 1.5V AA battery. I cannot find any information if it can take the phantom power and if "yes", what is the phantom power voltage. I do not want to try it because I am afraid to fry the mic. If you have an original manual, would you please attach the picture of the page containing this information.
I did try it with DR-40 and discovered that it requires a max recording level and hiss is present.
Any experiences with the JVC M-510 mic? Please share.

phantom power is 48V, would definitely fry that mic imho , just use a battery.Try it through a good DI?
 
Forgot to mention that this mic has the output impedance 600 ohms.
