How many condenser microphones can I connect to 48 volts

[chanoca_mail]

I have a mixer with 48 volts phantom power and I would like to connect 5 condenser microphones at the same time, but without losing any gain. Is it possible? How many can I connect without losing input gain? Thank you

You can hook up as many as you can until the voltage drops. The more you hook up, the lower the voltage will go. At some point they won't work. I don't know HOW low you can go....but I would say you could go to 45V-46V perhaps with no issues.
