Spencerleehorton said:You have said "everything looks good, more or less" but I am not getting +\-60v and on the cable I'm getting 48.2v on pin 2 when the xlr cable is inserted it comes down to 45.3v?
So something is obviously wrong here?
Each leg of the phantom power is limited with 6,8k resistor. If your mike draws cca 1mA, and each leg draws 0,5mA we should expect arround 3V voltage sag when mike is connected. So, that IS ok.
Also converter is OK because you got 58 or 59V on diodes what is perfectly fine.
DC points wise, your mike looks OK.
So, you should do measurements on resistor R109 I asked before to be sure that power supply for the amp works. Than you should switch on your scope and find does your Fet amps works or not as I also asked. Then we can go on.
