uses a 100kHz switching power supply to
elliminate noise generated by common power
supplies. The PB23 has pull-down resistors so it
will work with any mixer. 2 DC jacks have been
included so several units may be operated with
one power supply.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the PB23 Phantom Power Adapter , the unit is
designed to provide years of lasting value and usefulness. The unit
powers a condenser microphone that is designed for phantom po w ering.
Phantom power microphones provide much greater dynamic r ange, lower
noise and better sound quality. Most microphones will operate at full
performance with 12 volts DC, however some mics require 48 volts which
was the old tube mic standard. The PB23 features selectable v oltage
levels.
OPERATION
Switch the PHANTOM VOLTAGE to the appropriate setting. Connect a
condenser microphone to the input connector(s) and connect the
output(s) to a mixer or other audio input device. Apply power to the unit by
connecting the enclosed adapter to an AC outlet and to the 12VDC
P ow er Loop. The LED on the front of the unit will light. The two DC input
jacks are provided in order to use one power supply to pow er more than
one unit. The units provide no audio gain as they are not microphone
preamps.
