Phantom Power

Each element in the microphone requires 12 to 48 V phantom power. The LED also uses phantom power, and

dims slightly when phantom power voltage drops below 48 V DC.

The Tri-element model draws 22 mA at 48 V. The Dual-element model draws 19 mA at 48 Vdc. (Each element

draws 3 mA and the LED draws 13 mA, distributed equally among each element.)

NOTE: Do not connect multiple elements in parallel to a single mic input. The phantom power current draw could

exceed the maximum allowable for one mic input.

Caution: Failure to reinstall the setscrew will reduce RF immunity.
