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

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.

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.

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.
