Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Phantom Plus - a 48 V 4 channel Phantom Power Supply. As with all ARX equipment, it has undergone
extensive factory calibration and ‘burn in’ before shipping. To
ensure continued trouble free use, please familiarise yourself with
the contents of this manual before using your Phantom Plus.
About the Phantom Plus
Many condenser microphones require Phantom power to operate,
and many active Direct boxes have the ability to be run from Phantom power and thus avoid the need for unreliable batteries.
The correct voltage for Phantom power is a rock steady 48 VDC.
Sadly many otherwise excellent consoles fall down in this respect,
with a Phantom power supply that either doesn’t reach the required
voltage and thus reduces the device’s headroom, or sags to a lower
voltage after a short period of time.
To solve both these problems, ARX design engineers have
developed the all new Phantom Plus, a 4 Channel 48VDC Phantom
Power Supply Unit. Its Four channels of clean, ultra stable Phantom
power are ideal for consoles that either have no Phantom power
supply or a deficient one.
Each unit is hand calibrated before it leaves the factory to ensure
its performance meets all professional requirements. Behind the
deceptively simple front panel, each Phantom Plus contains some
sophisticated power circuitry.
Ripple free DC Voltage is sourced from a ultra low impedance,
fully short circuit proof regulated Power Supply with a passively
buffered grounding system between channels to ensure that there
is no grounding interaction or loops.
The Phantom Plus is housed in a stand alone all steel chassis for
maximum EMR rejection and has an inbuilt multi-voltage AC
power supply. For maximum flexibility in use each unit comes
complete with optional rack mounting ears.
The Phantom Plus is ideal for any situation requiring clean and
stable Phantom Power.

Front Panel Connectors and Controls
• Balanced XLR type input for channels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
• Balanced XLR type output for channels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
• AC Power switch
Rear Panel Connectors and Controls
• Dual voltage IEC 3 pin AC Power connector with integral
fuseholder. WARNING - RISK OF FIRE! Replace fuse with
correct value only. 90 - 120 V AC 1 amp; 220 - 240 V AC 0.5 amp
Using the Phantom Plus
Phantom Plus operation is simplicity itself, with Balanced XLR 3 pin Input and Output connectors mounted side by side for easy patching.
1. Reduce all levels.
2. Plug the lead from the microphone (or D I box) into the Channel 1
Female XLR input, and connect a lead from the Male XLR output
to the Female XLR input of your console.
3. Switch the AC power switch of the Phantom Plus on.
4. Bring the levels back up.
That’s it - that’s all there is to it. Once you have done Channel 1, you can
continue on to do the same to the others.
Optional Rack Mount ears
With the Phantom Plus you have the option of racking it, or keeping it as
a standalone unit, perhaps packed in with the mixing console.
Should you want to rack mount it, inside the packing there is a small
envelope containing 2 rack mounting ears and
4 x 3mm screws.
• Place the unit on a level surface.
• Place a rack ear next to the front of the
unit, insert the two 3mm screws into
the holes on the side, and tighten.
• Repeat for the other side.
NOTE: There is no need to remove the lid of
the unit.

INTERNATIONAL LIMITED WARRANTY
ARX Systems (ARX) warrants to the first purchaser of any ARX equipment that it is free from defects in
materials and workmanship under normal use and service. ARX’s sole obligation under this warranty
shall be to provide, without charge, parts and labour necessary to remedy defects, if any, which appear
within twelve (12) months from date of purchase, and for a further twelve (12) months supply parts only.
This is our only warranty. It does not cover finish or appearance items, or if the equipment has been,
in ARX’s sole judgement:
•Subjected to misuse, abuse, negligence or accident;
•Repaired, worked on, or altered by persons not authorized by ARX;
•Connected, installed, adjusted or used for a purpose other than that for which it was designed.
This warranty gives you and us specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which may apply.
Warranty Service Procedure
Should it become necessary to have your equipment serviced under the
terms of the warranty, please follow these steps:
1. Call ARX for a Return Authorization (RA) number;
2. Carefully repack the unit, in its original packaging where possible,
including a note with a description of the problem, and a copy of the
receipt showing date of purchase. Attach these to the actual unit itself.
Don’t forget to write your name and address clearly, and include a phone
number where you can be contacted during normal business hours. Make
it easy for our service technicians to contact you if they have a question.
Also, use plenty of packing material especially around the rack mount
ears - better to be safe than sorry.
3. Send the unit freight prepaid to ARX Systems, at the address given you
with your RA number. We will pay the return freight when the serviced
unit is returned to you.
4. We strongly recommend you insure the package. We can’t fix it if it gets
lost! Send it by UPS, Fedex, or any similar service that can track the
package. Parcel Post is not recommended!
If Warranty Registration Card is missing, please write to ARX in the country
of purchase, stating model and where purchased, or to ARX, PO Box 15,
