Title: Phantompower + power!?
Post by: perik on October 04, 2006, 07:56:55 PM

Hi!

Im going to use Iriver H120 for field recording.

I know that the Iriver H120 provides with around 3 v power. But what happens if I connect a battery box between the Iriver and a phantompowered mic. Will that then be 3v + 48v = 51v?

Can this harm my mic?

Most of the time (not always) I will use the Denecke AD20 in between the mic and Iriver. Will it be the same thing there? Are there going to be higher voltage if I connect a small phantompower unit in beween the Denecke AD20 and the mic?


thanks for help

i don't THINK you add the voltage, but if you do 51 will not harm your mics or other gear

The phantom power supply should have dc blocking caps at the output of the device, so you are ok. Plug in power voltage is not the same as phantom supply voltage. The voltage from your edirol will not pass thru the phantom supply. So you will have the proper 48 volts you require.
