![]() ![]() ![]() This meant that operating a condenser microphone before the 60s meant having two separate cables, one for power and one for data output. Before that, condenser microphones had a large separate power supply to provide the needed power for the device. The term "phantom power" was coined in the 1960s after a successful attempt to fuse data and power lines in one cable. So why is it even called phantom power in the first place? Many recording setups use both devices for clear and audible audio outputs. A pre-amp boosts frequencies by amplifying the audio signals coming from a microphone, whereas a phantom power supply provides the needed voltage your microphone requires to operate. To apply phantom power, you'll need a phantom power supply to produce the correct power and a balanced XLR connector to transmit this power to the microphone.Ī phantom power supply is not a pre-amp, although it may sound like it. Its really just an inline usb power supply/booster should help, Also it sounds like, maybe you could use an upgrade on the computer's PS, but if everything work's OK until you use the NT1000, you might just need an external phantom power supply or two of them if you're ever recording in stereo.Phantom power is the mode of supplying DC voltage through a balanced audio connector to power a condenser microphone. Thank you for your advice about a DIY supply!You could try something like this, USB audio power supply, galvanical isolated, audiophile USB Power supply, isolated USB low noise transformer, USB DAC power supply, audiophile power supply The only thing that still confuses me is that I do not find anyone with exactly the same problem, given that NT1000 + 2i2 is not a very exotic solution. Sometimes it looks like my NT1000 switches off when the fan on the motherboard "wakes up", and sometimes the recording stops totally, so some issue with power supply was the first idea to came to my mind. Unfortunately, my system doesn't see the 2i2 through any USB hub (whatever driver I use, be it ASIO or just a Windows in-built one) I tried a powered hub to no effect. ![]() I am not very savvy when it comes to electronics, but this suggestion about the power chip looks interesting. Yes, I use two XLR cables, one of them is just 2 m long. Rode M2The Scarlett 2i2 does not have an external power supply, and is USB/BUS powered, and with the phantom power, its just not a good design, phantom power demands too much of a load on the USB Bus. Pair of Monoprice 3ft Premier Series XLR Male to XLR Female 16AWG Cable (Gold Plated) (connected for enough range to the mic) Seasonic Platinum 860 (No noted voltage issues)Īsus Maximus VII Formula (No other issues with power, although I haven't powered anything this heavy) Has anyone seen a similar issue? Did you determine the cause? I'm looking at getting something like the schiit wyrd to power it cleanly, but it seems like it might be a waste if it's a faulty device and not just my motherboard trying to be eco friendly. When I turn off phantom power for about 3-5 seconds, I get the device disconnected sound from my computer and then I turn phantom power back on and the mic starts recording normally. I also haven't checked the direct monitor so it may be between the 2i2 and the computer. I will try to get a recording of it later today. It seems that after about 1-2 hours with the phantom power turned on, the sound gets extremely bad with static. I've got a 2i2 and I'm running a Rode M2 on it. ![]()
