INTRODUCTION
The Miktek PS2 is a Two Channel, 48 Volt Phantom Power
Supply that is capable of powering two condenser
microphones at the same time. It is a perfect solution for
applications when using a condenser microphone with a
mixer, PA, or other amplifiers that do not provide phantom
power for their microphone inputs.
FEATURES
• Two channels with 48 volt phantom power supply
• Dual XLR Inputs and Dual XLR Outputs
• ¼” Microphone Output for Channel 2
• LED Power Indicator
• 20 volt DC adapter
1. Ch1 - MIC INPUT: XLR balanced input for connecting
condenser microphone
2 Ch2 - MIC INPUT: XLR balanced input for connecting
condenser microphone
3. 48V: When pressed in, the LED illuminates indicating the
phantom power is on
4. DC POWER INPUT: Connect the supplied power adapter here
5. Ch2 - MIC OUTPUT: XLR balanced microphone output for
Channel 2
6. Ch1 - MIC OUTPUT: XLR balanced microphone output for
Channel 1
7. ALTERNATIVE Ch1 - MIC OUTPUT: ¼” balanced connector
alternatively for Channel 1 output
SETTING UP YOUR PS2
Make sure the volume controls on your mixer/PA/amplifier are
turned all the way down before connecting your microphones.
Use caution because if phantom power on the PS2 is engaged,
a loud pop will occur when connecting/disconnecting which
can be harmful to your speakers and ears. Always start with the
volume control all the way down and then slowly raise the signal
to an appropriate level.
TYPICAL SET-UP WITH PS2
• Connect your condenser microphone (connected with XLR
mic cable) to the CHANNEL 1 MIC INPUT.
• Connect your mixer/recorder/PA/amplier to CHANNEL
1 OUTPUT at the rear panel of PS2. Alternatively, you can
connect any of them to the 1/4” MIC 1 OUTPUT jack if they do
not have an XLR input.
• Repeat the steps above for the second microphone by using
CHANNEL 2 INPUT and OUTPUT.
• Connect the supplied AC/DC adapter to the DC input on the
rear panel of PS2, and then plug the adapter into any standard
AC outlet.
• Press the 48V switch to activate the PS2.
• To disconnect it, turn down the volume/channel levels all the
way down, then switch the 48V off.
