Hi Guys,
Probably been asked before, but here goes. In the GT22 manual, it's stated that phantom juice across MIDI pins 6-7 can be either 12vdc or 9vac at enough current (assuming possibly requiring more than 2amps at 9vac). Is it possible to put 9vac on the main power input and power the GT?
But I'm more interested in the phantom power option mainly, as I have an Egnator SS4 Headswitcher, which has a Phantom power option. The user has to supply the SS4 phantom power jack independent of the SS4's 9vac power supply (so I can tap the Masterminds 12vdc through to it no problem) which can be routed across DIN pins 6-7.
But I have a real aversion to SMP's in my rigs (such as the comes with the Mastermind). So if I could go the iron from a 9vac to power the GT22, I'd prefer that to needing to build an iron-based 12vdc supply, which would probably mean a 40-50va winding, and a bunch of annoying parts.
This all a bit embarrassing considering I have an early production run GT22 in the shiny gloss black powder-coat, but am actually going to put it into a permanently fixed rig after buying it new eons ago.
Cheers
Chris.
