Essential Information About the Triton Phantom Blocker Phantom Power Blocker
- Blocks phantom power while allowing the audio signal to pass through intact on a balanced line.
- Immediate protection for microphones, mic preamps, and sensitive device outputs against unwanted phantom power.
- Works both ways: phantom power can be present on the male or female side without passing through the Phantom Blocker.
- Simple and reliable format: 3-pin XLR adapter male to female, ideal for studio and stage use.
Phantom Blocker: The Discreet Safety Tool in the Triton Range
In environments where phantom power may be enabled by default (audio interfaces, consoles, stageboxes, patch bays), the Phantom Blocker acts as a safety link: it isolates the voltage while preserving the audio path, without altering your signal chain.
Who Should Use It and When?
The Triton Phantom Blocker is designed for sound engineers, home studio users, and live technicians who want to secure an XLR connection when the presence of phantom power is uncertain, for example with certain microphones, device outputs, or during quick stage setups.
Phantom Power Isolation and Setup Without Surprises
Recommended Connection
Before connecting the device to be protected, first connect the Phantom Blocker to the cable, then activate phantom power, and wait 5 seconds: its internal bleed resistors equalize the voltage and help prevent a power-on surge at the moment of connection.
