MICROPOWER PS400 Phantom Power Supply

This is one of those pieces of kit that you desperately need when you need it, but when you don't you don't! It should be in every audio engineers / musicians tool box as sooner or later you will come across a piece of kit that doesn't have a phantom power supply Why!!!!! Or possibly a piece of equipment that has phantom supply but its either on/off for all channels Why!!!! You can then power the condenser mic through this and switch off the mixers internal phantom supply for those mic's that might be damaged by it. Overall its a great little piece of kit to have available with no discernible drop in quality.

Got this to power my condenser microphone when recording my dj sessions. This unit is a bit bigger than a pack of cigarettes. It’s very easy to connect. Works perfectly. My only gripe is that there is no on/off switch..you have to pull out the mains cable to turn it off. All in all, great compact unit.

This product is a long time out to establish a family of people that trust this phantom power to their expensive microphones and remote recordings set up the good part about it is great components you buy this ones and have it like forever the bad part is that isn’t waterproof so is harder to have it working outside and you need mains power am sure the company will finally upgrade to usb c so you can run it without the need of an outlet but if you looking for a good phantom power for your microphone that will last for very long time then get this one my model from 2007 still works perfectly with no issues what so ever

No problems here. It behaves as one would expect, has a metal enclosure and a power indicator LED. I bought this because I was experiencing issues with my CAD M179 following the replacement of my mixer with a MOTU Hybrid Lite; awful noise was present on the Mic, a cross between rumbling, fizzing and white noise and was over 30dB up on my studio noise, typical levels. It appears to be a common 'issue' (I won't call it a fault) with the M179. This phantom PSU cured those woes in one simple easy swipe. Adding a 1m XLR myself, it is small enough to mount on the mic stand with a short length of velcro or something similar and be unobtrusive. Very happy.

The unit I bought was the Behringer PS400 Micropower Phantom Power Supply. It's a small unit that offers either 12v or 45v phantom power [switchable] It has XLR mic input and XLR mic thru [output] so you'll also need a short extra XLR -XLR cable to connect from the PS400 to the Xenyx 302 USB or other mixer... I bought a one foot cable. The PS400 will provide your condenser mic with the correct power at 45v and you'll notice a huge difference in audio quality. The Xenyx 302 can also be used with a standard dynamic microphone that requires no power and will also produce excellent quality. The XLR input on the Xenyx can also be used with a microphone cable that ends in a 1/4" jack so it's very versatile! The key thing when using the mic is to adjust the gain first on the Xenyx... try say about position 3 o'clock then keeping Low High and Pan in their middle postions position the mic adjustment knob at about 12 o'clock... finally adjust the Main Mix knob until you have sufficient mic output without the clipping lights coming on. This unit will provide the necessary phantom power for the Xenyx 302 USB which does say it has phantom power... that's true but it's really too low for most condenser mics at about 17v? The PS400 does the job really well and is well built.

This is a good small lightweight product. The only thing that’s missing on it is a power button. You need to unplug it to turn it off. Other than that, it’s perfect. Sound quality of condenser mics when using this seems to be pretty good. It’s a good price so represents good value for money. No complaints.

Worked for what I need

It worked on a akg c1000, but wouldn't power an akg p220, so I returned it

Works perfect and simple to use.

Très bonne alimentation phantom. Elle fonctionne très bien pour mon Shure filaire. Aucun son parasites.
