My Rane preamps provide +15v phantom power. The specs for my new AT4040 say +48v.

What are the ramifications of using +15v phantom power with the AT4040 mic?

I found this in my Rane Tech Notes (#148)

I asked this question over in the Live Sound forum, but it never got answered, so I thought I'd try here.

This thing looks pretty incredible. :D

I realize it's pretty low end gear, but that ain't likely to change soon, so heres my querey.

Give us your ideas about building your own power distro. For both 3 phase and single phase and how they both can be in the same distro.

Cheers,

I have ingested volumes of information over the past 5 years (no wise cracks about it only being 5 years please). And now I've come to the point of just having to ask this question.

Can anyone advise me if they're running a power amp that has a cooling fan but is still very quiet?

I'd like a studio amp that can double for live performance once in a while to run some stage monitors. I doubt that any of the fan-less models, such as Hafler, are really up to the task of running full tilt in a live situation. Thanks for your suggestions!

Ok guys I decided to go with the tannoy Reveals (unpowered)for my first set of monitors. I went with the unpowered because I plan on getting a second pair of monitors later, just to give me that second listen. I might just use my home stereo speakers in the meantime. Anyway what do you guys recommend for a amp for these baby's. Probably looking to spend around 400 bucks.

While I have the Mackies, I have not been too happy with the hyped sound and I had to return to my old NS 10s, However my Crown DC 300R amp is on the fritz and I had just repaired it last year.

which amps do you guys recommend to power a pair of NS-10s? hopefully there are a few that aren't too expensive.
