What is 48V phantom power? What is the relationship between phantom power and microphone?

First, let’s look at the definition of phantom power: phantom power is the name of the power source and related power tools.

What are the types of phantom power? Which is more suitable for microphone use?

There are 3 types of phantom power sources available, and the voltages used are 12, 24 and 48V DC power supplies.

Normally, 48V phantom power and recording microphone are the first choice for sound engineers.

The recording studio has always provided 48V phantom power for each microphone input. Because these mixers all use mains power supply, there are no practical restrictions on the supply of phantom power. Many condenser microphones for recording studios are also designed for 48 volts. In fact, they only reach the standard current when powered by 48 volts.

What are the advantages of the combination of microphone and phantom power?

1. It has the outstanding advantages of wide frequency bandwidth, flat response curve, high output, small nonlinear distortion, and good transient response.

2. The professional condenser microphone adopts a brand-new audio circuit. Capture rich, rich sound from the sound source directly in front of the microphone. The cardioid pickup pattern minimizes background noise and isolates the main sound source.

3. Provide reliable 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, universal XLR input and output, compatible with various microphone music recording equipment. An XLR audio cable with high-quality XLR male and female connectors is included.

4. The phantom power supply has a single-channel unit with balanced microphone input and output, which can be connected in series with your microphone and mixer.

5. Phantom power supply generally has an on/off power switch and LED indicator for easy operation, including an adapter. It is simple to use and very suitable for use on stage and studio with microphones.
