How important is it to achieve a full 48V for phantom power? I've built two G9's so far. My first can get 48V on the XLR pins with trimming, but the second can only get up to 44V. Does this seem like it presents any problems? I've heard of some cheaper pres only putting out 24V at phantom, but I assume that is less than ideal.
Secondly, could this be a sign of a more serious problem in the phantom supply that might need fixing? When I first powered the unit up, I had the second step up transformer miswired. When I fixed this, I was popping fuses on power-up. I pulled all the power connections to he board and then hooked up each section one-by-one and now no more fuses are popping.
Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris
