Do the microphones need phantom power? Is it turned on? If in doubt,

Watch out! Some phantom power mics blow up Behringer mixers.

In particular the Rode NTG-2. If you turn on phantom power the phantom
power permanently is destroyed in the mixer.

The specification for phantom allows you to short out an input completely
without effecting others. There are current limiting resistors supplying
the volts to each input. Anything else would be a nonsense.

Fortunately the mic also takes an AA cell, so it's not a complete loss.

Who's responsible for that engineering disaster, I don't know. Behringer
or Rode.

More likely finger problems.

That said, the mic works fine in the remaining mixer with the AA cell.

You can of course get even more gain by adding another mixer. They do
seem to be really quiet so you can do that.

Eh?
