Aokeo1-Channel 48V Phantom Power Supply with Adapter, Bonus+XLR 3 Pin Microphone Cable for Any Condenser Microphone Music Recording Equipment

Looks just like the more costly Nady, I didn't look inside, but it has a 18VAC wall wart which is better than some of these cheap 5VDC jobbers. After rectification this will only need a voltage doubler and regulator to provide a clean 48V, and that's what I get, unloaded, on the meter. I didn't hear any noise or anything else untoward...all it's doing is applying DC across the lines carrying your AC signal, so it probably won't hurt anything soundwise.Has a very bright blue LED (OK because it reminds you to turn it off) and a very long ramp down time when powered off. I never found these slow ramps necessary, if it was necessary, bring your mic to a tech. And yes "I'm trying to avoid going to a tech" is a retort I will ignore. And otoh you shouldn't just yank your mic out of phantom, and especially, not use a bridging patchbay with phantom. Use XLR-XLR patchbays only with mic connections and you're safe, not just your mics but everything else.

I bought a mic for the first time not realizing it expected me to have phantom power/ physical sound mixer. This was the simple solution. Plugged this in and then plugged a cable that went to usb into my computer and I was ready to go, no fiddling with knobs or buttons.Might not be ideal if you need a lot of voice control and obviously won't work if you need multi channel support, but for simple applications it's perfect, and beginner proof.

I did check the voltage of the input connection using a voltage meter. it was around 47.6 (nearly 48V) which is acceptable. But I must say if you are planning to buy this make sure the adapter is suitable for your region before purchasing. I didn't and had to buy a step-down transformer. the adapter input is 110V (AC). The adapter output is 18V (AC) and 350mA. I could have bought a normal adapter instead of a transformer. but I couldn't find an adapter that outputs AC current. as for the polarity, it's center-positive.i meant to use this to power up a condenser microphone and then connect it to my PC. at first, after plugging in my condenser microphone I couldn't hear a thing. i thought that maybe my microphone was defective. but after installing an Audio mixer software and manipulating the gain. my Voice is Clear and Well heard. i didn't encounter any buzzing sound like most of the people in the comment section. i think the buzzing sound issue might be related to loose connections or a bad audio jack. Overall I'm satisfied.

Works for my mics needing phantom power.

Great Value.

I do live recording. My zoom 12 recorder has phantom power but it does not seem to pass through thru the splitter snake with enough amperage to work... IPurchased 2 of these to resolve and give isolation between my recording board and venue sound board. I Opted for usb powered over internal batteries and am using a 2000 miliamp power brick to power both. You can place close by and not worry about finding an outlet with this option...As to the phantom power supplies they work, a bit disappointed they were all plastic, just don't have a pro rugged feel to them. but when you're lugging gear in and out of venue ever oz adds up...still I'd prefer metal housings.

A must for serious condenser mics. Small, simple, does exactly what it should for almost no money. The extra cable is a nice touch.

Now this is an odd thing . Why did I buy this 4 times ? Why did it never quite work ... Well I finally discovered that this NOT the 48V required for phantom power for condenser mic s . Yes. Some of the small condenser mics can deal with it.l, I suppose. ... But this little piece of negligence has caused me a lot of heart ache .. It is 18 volts ! And now I see its just about tripled its price.
