Countryman Associates, a leading manufacturer of miniature microphones, direct boxes, and related audio products, will introduce the portable Phantom Power Supply during Winter NAMM 2020 in Anaheim, Calif. Countryman’s new Phantom Power Supply transmits DC electric power through microphone cables. The Phantom Power Supply is an audio tool designed for both live and studio recording settings.
The Countryman Phantom Power Supply is designed for ultra-low noise for clean audio. It offers flexible power options and selectable voltage settings. It can operate on one 9V battery, two 9V batteries for extended life, or a 9V wall adapter. In addition, selectable 12V, 24V, and 48V voltage output settings allow the Countryman Phantom Power Supply to extend battery life for microphones which don’t require 48V power.
The Countryman design team reports testing in adverse conditions typically encountered in live performance environments. The Phantom Power Supply’s portable, compact form factor consists of a die cast aluminum body and low-profile switches for use on the road.
Chris Countryman, President of Countryman Associates says, “Condenser microphones need rock solid power for maximum performance, particularly for low noise and high overload. Many mixers and audio inputs provide no phantom power, questionable power, or only provide it in switchable banks. We developed our Phantom Power Supply to deliver the cleanest power and the most options in the smallest possible size. We also built it unreasonably tough, because we wouldn’t make gear any other way.”
The new Countryman Phantom Power Supply is expected to be available Q1, 2020. Countryman will exhibit in NAMM booth #18406.
