Battery Compartment
Underneath the Minx you will find the battery compartment.
Here there is room for 2 x PP3 batteries and the phantom power module. If the
phantom power module is not fitted, there is space for two spare PP3 batteries.
(Take care to insulate battery connectors on spares.)
Phantom Power Module
48 volt Phantom Power option - models AP (93-931) and BP (93-938)
The 48 volt Phantom Power Supply is applied to all of the microphone inputs.
The Phantom Power facility is controlled by a 3 position switch on the Phantom Module PCB,
contained in the battery compartment of the mixer.
There is a label on the battery compartment lid, which indicates the switch settings.
The switch positions are:
Phantom Power Batt
Disable
Regular Batt/Mains
Phantom Power Batt
The Phantom Power is generated from the single PP3 battery next to the Phantom
Module PCB. Use of phantom power does not then affect the life of the regular pair of
batteries but current is always drawn from the separate Phantom Power Battery, even on
mains operation. When the On-Off/Charge switch is in the Off position, there is no drain
from the Phantom Power Battery. There is no provision for charging the Phantom Power
Battery on mains operation, and no requirement to remove this battery on mains
operation in the Off/Charge position.
Disable
The Phantom supply is disabled. No current is drawn from the Phantom Power Battery
and no extra current is drawn from the regular pair of batteries under any operating
conditions.
Regular Batt/Mains
The Phantom Power is generated from the Mains Supply, or the regular pair of batteries
if the mains is removed. The life of one the regular PP3 batteries is reduced; in the worst
case this reduction is to approximately half of the battery life with an independent
Phantom Power Battery.
Whichever battery is being used for Phantom Power, there is always some current drain due to
the Phantom Power supply, unless Off/Charge is selected and/or Phantom Disable is selected.
The drain on this battery then depends on the number and type of microphones in use.
