Overview

A Swiss Army knife for the audio engineer!

ART constructed the Phantom I Active Direct Box to serve a multitude of needs in the studio and onstage:

Problem: You need to connect an amplifier's speaker output to the mic input on a mixer.

Solution: Connect a Phantom I between the speaker output and a mic input with
phantom power on the mixer, then set the attenuation switch to ”40dB.

Problem: Your PA is humming because there is a ground loop between a signal source and the mixer.

Solution: Connect a Phantom I between the signal source and a mic input with phantom power and set the ground switch to Lift.

Problem: You need to connect an unbalanced line-level source (i.e., a synthesizer, another mixer, an effects device, etc.) to a mic input on the mixer.

Solution: Connect a Phantom I between the source and a mic input with phantom
power and set the Attenuator switch to ”20dB.

The Phantom I is not a phantom power supply, it is an active direct box that operates on phantom power.
