Q: 1. I bought two of these mics. I record a podcast in a car and use these mics. The problem is that it seems that any movement of the mic cable causes feedback in the recording... I don't understand why it is so sensitive. An arm brushing up to the mic cause noticeable audio distortion. any ideas?

A: could be a bad cable, or connection. If same thing is happening with both mics, try either with windscreen on, with windscreen off.

A: It is not a wireless microphone at all.

Q: 3. Do I need a power module or can I just plug this into a mini-XLR to XLR adapter and power it with phantom?

I'd appreciate any suggestions for budget and best for price, what do the experts think?
