Universal Compact Phantom Power Supply - Selectable +12 / +48 Volt Regulated Single Channel Home Condenser Microphone Power Supply Box, Includes 12V DC Adapter, LED Indicator - Pyle PS430

I'm using the PS430 to boost the signal of piezo transducers in acoustic instruments without adding self-noise. A Cloudlifter CL-48 is being powered by this 48 volt supply. Before a Meridian Pro preamp, use a Mic Activator to add 25 dB of clean gain. I then route the signal to guitar amplifiers via wireless and mixing board for further processing and amplification in this manner. In a small form factor, the unit provides clean, reliable power and is rugged. On a status level, the green led is sufficient. I'm very pleased with the signal chain, and the pickup device now produces very little, if any, visible noise, which expands its capabilities beyond just powering condenser microphones. (Make sure to include dynamic and ribbon mics that are powered by mic activators! )br>Pyle, I appreciate it.

This is an excellent product for a single phantom-powered microphone. It has a very clean sound, and I use it to connect a basic condenser microphone to my computer so that I can use it for online meetings with sound that is far superior to the built-in microphone on the webcam or laptop. I don't like wearing a headset either, because I have to be on camera a lot. I don't mind that it doesn't have an on/off switch because it's so cheap.

There is no power switch on this device; it is always on. After trying one of the knockoff brands, I decided to purchase this one. I ended up returning the knockoff (which was USB powered) because it didn't provide the claimed amount of power. This works great with the neweer condenser mic that I have. I use it to chat from my computer, and the person on the other end can clearly hear me. The only thing that bothers me about this is the lack of a power switch. But if I have to choose between a power supply that only sort of works because it has a switch and one that actually works because it doesn't, I'll go with the latter.

I'm not usually a five-star reviewer, but this unit is solid and useful. It does not have an on/off switch, but it does come with a power adapter. There is some line noise, but I don't think I can blame Pyle for it. I've also had good luck with one of their 12" or 15" bass speakers. br>I use Monoprice 104768 3- as an example. XLR feet from the Premier Series. An adapter cable for connecting a condenser microphone to a guitar amplifier. The sound volume isn't very loud, which I believe is due to unmatched impedance and other factors, but it's adequate for a small venue.

It completes the task at hand. It doesn't really add anything to the sound; it simply does what the box says. It's a good deal for the money. The lack of an on/off switch is my biggest gripe with it. I get sparks from the power jack every time I plug it in. I'm not talking about when I plug the brick into the wall; I'm talking about when I plug the brick into the unit from the wall. That's a big con, but as long as you don't unplug it from the unit and instead from the wall, it won't be an issue. br>br>That's a big con, but it won't be an issue as long as you don't unplug it from the unit and instead from the wall. br>br>Nady, you've got a leg up on the competition. I despise them because one of my expensive XLR cables was devoured by their equivalent phantom box. So far, no one has done so, so well done!.

Over this, I'd go with a Focusrite system.

Has proven to be dependable. In July of 2016, I purchased this piece. Since then, it's been effective for me. I've always had good luck with the 12v setting at home. The 48v setting may be required in a professional environment with longer mic cords. Consider purchasing a second ne for a friend.
