The phantom power
- Phantom power to DIN 45596 a positive voltage of 12, 24 or 48 volts to both of the NF-lines versus the cable shield.
- So you need a rule, a balanced signal transmission, usually via XLR.
- Phantom power you need, for example, to operate condenser microphones.
- Condenser microphones have more in General, a more natural sound than dynamic microphones, among other things, because the few micrometers-thin capacitor membrane is less sluggish than the membrane of submersible coil microphones.
- Because of this property, you are more sensitive and are mainly used for Studio recordings, and not in the Live area. Against impact sound in a suspension in the spider (see image) helps.
- Although phantom power will not harm dynamic microphones, however, you should read in case of doubt, the use statement, or without the phantom power supply to try, if you are unsure. Because ribbon microphones can go through the use of phantom power supply is broken.
- Most a Phantom Power of 48 volts, which is supplied to the microphone via XLR is widely used. For more information on the XLR you will get in another practice tip.
- The phantom power from the mixer, sound card or microphone amplifier. Some microphones can refer to the Phantom Power over a battery.
- Phantom power you need for active DI-boxes. These convert an unbalanced to a balanced Transmission and, if necessary an impedance adaptation. Returns the source is not a sufficient voltage device, refers to the DI Box via phantom power from a battery or from the mixer.
- A special kind of power, especially of Messmmikrofonen, the ICP supply via BNC connectors. Here, the voltage is supplied over the same wires as the signal transmission. The power supply works, in spite of the unbalanced signal transmission.
