Topic: Phantom power?

[Kindguy]

Is phantom power just phantom power?

Is ther any sonic difference between different units? Like ps-2, stewart, ART ect.

I need a cheep solution to run a 3 mic mix with the UA-5.

i might have your solution, i have a single mic phantom power pack. might be getting rid of it don't really use it so.  its a whirlwind phantom battery pack, with neutrik connectors, runs on 2 9v's for 50 hrs @ 4ma draw.  i'll let you know if i don't want it, but i think power is basicly power, one might have a bit more noise than another, but doubt you'd be able to hear it.

A local Pawn shop has a Stewart 48v phantom power box that runs on 2 9v. They want 22.00 bucks for it.

It's pretty scratched up. but for 22 bucks I thought I may pick it up.

Anyone else before I head out & buy this?

as long as its 48v phantom power, my sony MD "shit box" provides "phantom power" ..... but its 1.5v

Looks like it may be a good deal right? I e-mail the guy to ask how much shipping will be. This is his reply. It's being shipped from Cali.

thats not phantom, thats plug in power, for mini mics..   i'd say for 22 bucks that aint bad, my whirlwind one costs like 150 new, i got mine for 50 on ebay, but i'd say go for it $22 is nothin..  get it, try it out.

you can't provide phantom power via unbalanced connections (eg. mini-plug).
