ok I have another ?
When I build the phantom power set up,do I have to build the power supply that he have on the website to power it. Or can I just connect it to the 9k board and use the 9k power supply.......Sorry Just a newbie never did this before.....
hi k-los,
forgive me if i am misunderstanding you, but you are asking about adding a +48V supply for phantom power in your SSL 9K. why don't you just use the +48V on the SSL 9K PSU? ???

hi k-los,
you certainly could use that circuit (i have not tried it though, but i'm sure it would work fine and seems to be a circuit that protects the pre input well).
i've often used this type:http://www.jensen-transformers.com/as/as016.pdf
I was just saying that because most of the commercial products only have the 6.8K for the phantom power.
And I'm talking about big , well know companies.
it's just requiring final internal hookup, but i need to replace the main PSU caps as well, as i botched fitting over-sized units and it just doesn't look safe!
Built the signal tracer that was suggested and immediately found that the first 2 2.2uf's were bad. Working on getting some more so I can get the lid on these pre's and move on.
I've already got a line on a few from a brotha from anotha mutha here on the forum. I did use TAW for a few of the pieces on my build they were defiantly on top of their game.
Just finished my second 9k build. I wanted something small and portable.
It sounds pretty good, but it's got a couple little issues:
The output seems to be hotter on the 2nd channel. This isn't a big deal, but it's by a fair bit. I don't really know where to start or if I should even bother with doing something about it.
The other problem is that when the +48 is switched on it sounds like faint rice crispies. It just kinda crackles along. This is a big deal as I plan on using this with mics that require phantom. It's definitely in the unit - it does it when nothing is plugged in the input. Any ideas?
Here's the picture. Just use your imagination for the inside.
