Please read the manual before using the equipment!
The B48 L is a battery powered one channel phantom power supply
for P48 condenser microphones. The 48V power supply is for those
applications when a condenser microphone is used where no
phantom power from a mixer is available. The additional mini-XLR
audio output and the included mini-XLR to mini-XLR connection
cable support a direct connection to all AKG body-pack
transmitters. The phantom power of the audio input supplies
microphones with 48V and meet the P48 standard. B48 L is
designed to meet the demand of lowest noise level even in
operation with high-end condenser microphones for professional
applications in theater or touring applications.
Insert two batteries into the battery compartment, aligning the batteries with the
polarity symbols inside the battery compartment. The B48 L provides a polarity
protection. If you insert the batteries the wrong way, the B48 L will not be
powered. Press the ON/OFF button
