These are my way to power IPA.

1. 5V USB battery pack > DC step up cable > IPA
The battery pack worked well for the first 10 seconds, but it was turned off.

2. NP-F550/Battery plate adapter > DC cable > IPA
This adapter worked fine consistently and it is compatible with larger capacity battery.
One defect is that there is no ON/OFF switch.

Mind if I ask where you picked up or bought your USB > DC Step Up Cable?

I bought it from local open market. You could get a similar thing at Amazon or Ebay.

#1 does NOT work. I think a usb out of battery pack could not recognize opposite side as something to charge.

  PS:  I've been sketching a digital version of the IPA that would have both analog & digital outputs in AES3/SPDIF format (optical as an option) and would run on 5V-10V digital or 12V-48V analog phantom power (analog output only) or 5V external.  This would have 110dBA dynamic range and options for preemphasis or dither for 16-bit compatibility (should be about 100dBA in 16-bit mode), and the ability to sync units via aux SPDIF input.
so as someone who is always an idiot when it comes to understanding this stuff, if you are saying this version could support 48v mics, then I think it's a great idea.
The best part of a __box was the option to support multi formats. For example my tb does 48v/pip/actives and I love that so if the new IPA supported that too I would be super happy

No the IPA is a P48 device, it doesn't support P48 devices.  You should think of it as a microphone body that has a few added features.
So the ipa is a "mic body amp." When running my ipa with phantom power I must set the deck (or pre) to mic in.
Is 0db gain the correct setting for mic in?
A little confused on the gain setting when using phantom power.
Thanks for clarifying this.

IPA has 3 gain selections (0,9,18). Using line in (deck or pre) the gain setting will be 9db or 18db on the ipa - mic attenuator. Then you are powering the IPA with an a23 battery.
My question is:
"When running an ipa with phantom power (powering ipa instead of a23 battery) I will be using mic in (deck or pre) - is 0db gain the correct ipa setting?" Pretty sure 0db is correct but looking for confirmation.

With the mic input you would use 0dB gain which is a mic level signal.

so you can't go line in and be at 0db?

Fwiw I always set my IPA to 18 to get really nice levels running 4.5 to 5.5 or so on m10 for loud rock 40-60 feet from stage. For acoustic m10 is wide open.

I see a lot of options and I am not familiar with the parts names so could some be so kind as to tell me what two input connectors I have so I can replace these with the IPA's?


Thanks,
NT
