Ar 116 but no phantom adaptor

Charlie Jeal

Hi,

Ive recently been given a couple of AR116's that dont have the AR117 option and I'm not hugely keen on running them on battery power. Does anyone have any suggestion as to where I could get hold of the adaptors or a circuit diagram so I could build my own.

Thanks

Charlie

The battery is only used when you do not externally provide 48v from the console. if you are not using a console, you can use a off the shelf phantom injector, such as the crown PH1 B.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply, Im well aware of how to phantom power devices. However, in the case of AR 116 DIs there were 2 models a 9v and a 48v version, the difference being the AR117 phantom power adaptor which takes the place of one of the batteries and allows the use of phantom power. So a 9v one wont work from 48v phantom whatever the source.

You'll get a giggle and a whistle if you used Jerome's direct contact form because I think he's out of the office until... Tuesday? Wednesday? I dunno. He went out the door mumbling something about the mud wrestling finals.
