Maya 44 PCI phantom power out
Hi guys - I have a question to those of you using the built-in mic pre in
the maya 44 PCI with a condenser (phantom power). SUpposedly, Maya provides Phantom power, but does not have an XLR output... Do I need an adaptor for this, or can I use a standard Mic Cable (XLR to plug). I would think that the plug would have to be stereo to use phantom power? What about the polarity? There is no documentation about this in the manual, unfortunately... Kind regards, Jens |

SUpposedly, Maya provides Phantom power, http://www.audiotrak.net/maya44mk2.htm Only 12 volts of it. but does not have an XLR output... You don't hook mics to outputs. But the Maya 44 PCI does have TRS jack inputs. Do I need an adaptor for this, or can I use a standard Mic Cable (XLR to plug). Looks like you need one or two XLR to TRS converters. They are regular stock adaptors, made and sold by many. |

I would think that the plug would have to be stereo to use phantom power? What about the polarity? There is no documentation about this in the manual, unfortunately... The manual says that the Line1 input jack doubles up as a Mic input with 12v phantom power. This is rather strange. Standard phantom power is 48v. Domestic soundcards offer a different 5v system for cheap headset etc. mics. I rather doubt this is T-powering. (Google it, if you're interested.) Some mics may work on 12v. Perhaps, as 12v is easily available inside a computer and 48v isn't, they just provided it on a "well, see if it's any use to you!" basis :-) To confuse the issue further, http://www.esi-pro.com/viewProduct.php?pid=62 says it's 48v. Misprint? |

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't aware that there are auditorak mayas and
esi mayas... The esi maya manual says 48V. I'm off to the music store to get my one of these adaptor thingies for the INPUT of the esi... :-) Thanks again. Jens |

There's more than one phantom power standard actually. 48V is more flexible though. Graham |

With what micerophone(s)? Many mics work fine with 12V of "phantom power" Seems very unlikely that card has 48V available. |
