CP8506/AT8801
48V PHANTOM POWER SUPPLIES
Description
The Audio-Technica CP8506 provides
48V phantom power for up to four micro-
phones, while the AT8801 provides 48V
phantom power for a single microphone.
They allow the use of remote-powered
microphones with systems that do not
supply phantom power. They are
line-powered devices. The CP8506
includes an attached 6' grounded line
cord and a power switch with an
associated LED indicator. The AT8801
includes a plug-in power module that
attaches to the electronics module
with a 6' cable.
Each unit features a highly-regulated
power supply which provides a constant
voltage source, even with a heavily-
loaded input. The regulator IC is internally
protected to prevent overheating or dam-
age even if shorted. The rugged steel
case is finished in enamel and provides
shielding from electrostatic interference.
The CP8506 and AT8801 will adequately
supply phantom power to the micro-
phones connected to them via XLR-type
connectors; additional phantom power
(from a mixer or other source) is
unnecessary, and is not recommended.
For optimum phantom powering, an
uninterrupted line must exist between
the phantom supply and the microphone;
no filters or transformers should be
present.
