Phantom Power for Railboard
What would you recommend for a phantom power device for the railboard. I was using a cheap mixer. It did the trick, but it also introduced a lot of background noise. Any suggestions?

Will you be going into pedals? The answer really depends on what the next step in your signal path will be.

Re: Phantom Power for Railboard
I tend to not use pedals, so the next input would be directly to the amps, one to the bass amp, the other to the guitar amp. With my prior RB, I plugged into both of the XLR inputs on the mixer, then ran two lines through the 1/4 inch outputs to both amps. It worked, but added some hum, too much hum.

Re: Phantom Power for Railboard
If you just want a straight up in-line 2 channel XLR to XLR phantom power supply, the Nady-SMPS-2X gets some good reviews. Low noise they say. You can get one of these for $40-$50 online. You still have to plug it all into something tho....

Re: Phantom Power for Railboard
ART makes a battery powered phantom box. 2 in 2 out.

A better solution, that will give you 1/4 outs with a hotter signal, and uses external DC power, plus it has some nice preamp cirtcuitry https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... tube-dp-v2
