I just got a Scarlett 2i2 and a stereo-matched pair of GA Project FC4. I can't get both microphones to work at the same time. When I switch on the phantom power on the Scarlett it randomly selects one of the channels that will get powered. I have checked the microphones and the cables and they work fine on their own but not together. Has anyone here a Scarlett 2i2 and two condensers and got both channels working?

According to the manual, that should not be happening. You should contact the tech support of Focusrite.

Yes, I think it's mentioned even twice in the manual and that's what made me worried. But, it's solved now

I took a rest from the tests but left the gear on. I think I was away for about 10 minutes and when I got back both channels was working. It seems that the microphones and/or the sound card needs to warm up before usage. As the microphone noob I am I was too eager

Thanks for the help anyway
