from mic to the power supply

I like to place one on the boom for some singing person iam going to knock on coming commercial , so I am thinking about 90feet of cable to give the booman flexibility to move .
any problem with that?

What microphone? I typically run 2x or 3x that length
when recording large-scale musical performances with
ordinary phantom-powered condenser mics (both electret
and phantom biased).

Many mics could run 5x or 10x that length because they
require much less than the full 48v phantom power and
have low impedance outputs designed to drive long lines.
For example the Schoeps CMC series claim "can be used
with very long cables (several hundred meters)"
