Q: The new TC-Helicon VoiceLive 3 looks awesome. Do I have to use the TC-Helicon MP-75 microphone with it or can I use any microphone?
A: The MP-75 makes a great companion to the VoiceLive 3 because not only does it sound great, but it also allows you to control presets, effects, and loops. But the microphone input on the VoiceLive 3 can accept any balanced XLR microphone output and it does offer phantom power for condenser microphones — the VoiceLive 3 can even automatically and intelligently set the optimal gain level for its onboard mic preamp!
