Has anyone powered their IPA from an external, non phantom source using the DC in?
If so, how have you done it?
Plug size on the IPA?
Good small battery pack? Perhaps USB, I think the IPA can run on 5v.
The A23 battery is great for stealthing, but I'd love to use my KCY IPA for channels 5/6 on my Mixpre6, and I want to bury the thing in my bag and use with a rechargeable battery. Any leads?
I have been curious about this also but the details are not clear to me
From naiant.com "about the 2017 IPA"
– A 5V-12V converter cable enables use of 5V USB battery packs with the IPA. 5V packs can be cheaper and smaller than available 12V external packs, so this cable will offer the smallest possible external battery pack solution.
So you need a special cable to use 5v? I would use 12v anyways but...
On the page where you order a IPA:
The external power jack is 1.7mm ID, 4.4mm OD, center-positive. A compatible power supply is available on the X-R accessory menu.
- there is a $9 option for a 12v power supply on the X-r accessory menu but I assume this is a 12v power supply you plug in. Can any 12v power supply be use as long as you have a cable with the correct size connector?
