TritonAudio Phantom Blocker for Blocking Phantom Power

The Triton Audio Phantom Power Blocker is a must - have device for audio setups. It effectively blocks phantom power while keeping the audio signal intact. You can apply phantom power to either the male or female side of the XLR connector, and it won't reach the opposite end. The audio signal can flow freely in both directions. **Applications**: - **Microphone preamps**: Older preamps can be sensitive to phantom power at the input. A sudden burst of phantom power can cause high voltage in the input transformer, burning out its thin silk isolations. This blocker provides complete protection. - **Unbalanced TRS to XLR cables**: Connecting these cables can create a short circuit, which may damage input transformers and under - dimensioned phantom power circuits. The blocker solves this problem. - **Balanced device outputs**: Protect your device outputs, like your computer's audio interface, when connected to a mixing desk or preamp with phantom power switched on. - **Microphones**: Ribbon microphones are vulnerable to phantom power. Connecting them to a cable with phantom power can stretch the ribbon permanently. Use this blocker to safeguard your valuable microphones. **Important!** Before connecting the device you want to protect, attach the Phantom Power Blocker, switch on the phantom power, and wait 5 seconds. This allows the internal bleeder resistors to cancel out voltage differences and prevents an initial AC voltage burst. **Key Features**: - Blocks phantom power without affecting the audio signal. - Suitable for microphone preamps, microphones, device outputs, and anything else needing protection from phantom power.

Using the Triton Audio Phantom Power Blocker is straightforward. First, figure out which device you want to shield from phantom power, like a microphone preamp, an unbalanced cable, a device output, or a microphone. Then, attach the blocker to the appropriate XLR connectors. You can apply phantom power to either the male or female side of the XLR on the blocker. Here's a crucial tip: before connecting the device you're protecting, make sure the blocker is in place, switch on the phantom power, and wait for 5 seconds. This gives the internal bleeder resistors time to even out any voltage differences and stops an initial AC voltage burst from harming your device. As for maintenance, keep the blocker in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or physical damage. If you notice any issues with the audio signal or the blocker's performance, it's a good idea to check the connections and consult the manufacturer's support.
