CP8506/AT8801

48V PHANTOM POWER SUPPLIES

Description

The Audio-Technica CP8506 provides 48V phantom power for up to four microphones, while the AT8801 provides 48V phantom power for a single microphone. They allow the use of remote-powered microphones with systems that do not supply phantom power. They are

line-powered devices. The CP8506 includes an attached 6' grounded line cord and a power switch with an associated LED indicator. The AT8801 includes a plug-in power module that attaches to the electronics module with a 6' cable.

Each unit features a highly-regulated power supply which provides a constant voltage source, even with a heavilyloaded input. The regulator IC is internally protected to prevent overheating or damage even if shorted. The rugged steel case is finished in enamel and provides shielding from electrostatic interference.

The CP8506 and AT8801 will adequately supply phantom power to the microphones connected to them via XLR-type connectors; additional phantom power (from a mixer or other source) is unnecessary, and is not recommended. For optimum phantom powering, an uninterrupted line must exist between the phantom supply and the microphone; no filters or transformers should be present.
