Know before you buy
Standard interface phantom power often introduces noise or distortion because it is shared across multiple channels. The True Phantom uses a patented no-load design to isolate the power supply, resulting in a cleaner signal and a noticeably better signal-to-noise ratio for your microphones.
Yes. The unit features a built-in phantom blocking circuit, which protects sensitive ribbon microphones from potential damage caused by phantom power. You can also use the bypass switch if you need to pass standard phantom power through to the microphone.
While it is a dual-channel device optimized for stereo recording, it works perfectly fine with a single microphone. You can simply plug into one channel and leave the other unused without affecting performance.
The ground lift switch helps eliminate ground loops, which are common sources of audible hum or buzz in recording setups. If you hear unwanted noise, toggling this switch can often resolve the issue by breaking the ground connection.
The True Phantom is designed to handle both 115V and 230V AC input voltages. This makes it a reliable choice for international use without requiring an external voltage converter.
No, the True Phantom is designed for transparency. Its primary goal is to provide a cleaner power source to your microphones, allowing them to perform at their best without adding any intentional character or coloration to the signal.
