W19 - True Phantom Power

Presenter:
Joost Kist, Phantom Sound B.V. - Amsterdam, Netherlands

Abstract:
The standard for phantom power has existed for 50 years. Still there is room for improvement within the boundaries of the standard P48. The 6K8 ohm resistor acts as a load for the emitter-follower in the microphone. This causes distortion. Replacement of this resistor with an electronic circuit that acts not as a load improves the performance of the microphone considerably. The output is 0.3 dB louder, the THD is reduced, especially the odd harmonics. The noisefloor is lower. Subjective: less Sss sounds, more ambient sound.
