active pickup/mic blender systems wired for phantom should NOT
require an internal battery. This may be an advantage where active
system performance is required but where battery access may be
restricted e.g. "f" hole instruments and resophonic guitars
When using phantom power, we recommend removing any battery
in place in a pickup system, whether new or expired, which might be
heated up, or be damaged and leak. Bridging the two battery snap
terminals on the pickup system with a wire from positive to negative
would be required to complete the circuit. Alternatively use
Headway's "PPE Clip" (Phantom Power Enabler) which is fast and
reversible and available to HE5 & Snake3 purchasers
Blender systems which include electret condenser microphones
may be phantom powered via 10v to Tip. Consult pickup
manufacturer's instruction manual on voltage and wiring. It is not the
responsibility of Headway Music Audio to determine compatibility
10v Phantom power has been identified as the maximum
commonly accepted voltage for optimum signal to noise ratio,
headroom, tone quality and output levels in many pickup
systems and electret condenser microphones
