I'm interesting in being able to use the X8 as a mini mixer for certain situations, or just record more channels simultaneously and would like to be able to make use of inputs 1 and 2. I see that you can disconnect the included condenser mics and connect lavaliere mics to those inputs. What I'm wondering is if you could also connect something like a Shure SM58 to them using a 3.5mm TRS to XLR cable like the following:
I see that those inputs are listed as being powered, which I presume is phantom power, and there's no option to turn that off for those inputs. However, an SM58 shouldn't have any issues with receiving phantom power. From Shure's website: "A dynamic microphone, like the SM58, does not require phantom power because it does not have active electronics inside. Nonetheless, applying phantom power will not damage other microphones in the vast majority of cases."
Thoughts?
