Phantom power standards?
This is about "phantom power" provided on many commercial microphone
mixers. Circuit diagrams that I have been able to find on the Internet show the power being fed through 6800 ohm pullup resistors on the two sides of the balanced line. Is this typical of commercial gear? |

" The more common of these methods is called "phantom power" and is covered by DIN spec 45596. The positive terminal of a power supply is connected through resistors to both signal leads of a balanced microphone, and the negative terminal is connected to ground. 48 volts is the preferred value, with 6800 ohm resistors in each leg of the circuit, but lower voltages and lower resistor values are also used. The precise value of the resistors is not too critical, but the two resistors must be matched within 0.4%." ...... Note that the closest value of high-precision (1% or better) resistors tends to be 6.81K |

Depends on how you define standard. Voltages vary. 48 is the tops, but it not uncommon to have 12 or 24 volts DC. Wireless lavs frequently run at 5 volts or so. A center tapped input transformer can also be used to feed phantom voltage. And some lavaliers have a separate single line for phantom.

The ~5 volt power supplied to wireless mics, portable recorders (like DAT & MD), and even computer sound cards is not "phantom power" in the strict sense of the word. It is more generally described as "bias voltage". |
