Rockmann 48V to 12V T-Power Converter (Tonaderspeiseadapter)

The best on the market
Power Converter for vintage Microphones with Tonaderspeisung / T-Power

NEW, Hand built to order - Based on the current orders to complete, please allow 10-15 business days until shipping [Of course, I will try to complete and ship asap]

Professional High Quality 48V Phantom Power to 12V T-Power Converter for the operation of vintage Microphones with 12V Tonaderspeisung (T-Power). The converter works perfectly for the T-Powered Sennheiser MKH Series, Neumann & Schoeps mics - The Rockmann Converter offers a way better overall quality than the common barrel style converter

USAGE
The T-Power Converter is placed between Microphone and Mixer/MicPreAmp and enables vintage microphones with 12V T-Power/Tonaderspeisung -like many older models from the Sennheiser MKH-Series- to operate with today's common 48V Phantom Power sources as provided from almost any Audiomixer and MicPreAmp.
If the microphone has a Small/Klein Tuchel Connector an additional Klein Tuchel to XLR Adapter Cable is needed for the connection between microphone and the 'XLR-Socket from the T-Power Converter ('12V T-Power Out'' ). You can find high quality 'Small Tuchel to XLR Adapter Cable' in my other auctions.

A printed wiring sheet comes with this T-Power Converter so you would have a 'how to solder guide' if you like to make your own adapter cable.

HOW IT'S MADE
The T-Power Converter is made from Audio Grade Components with (better than 1%) equally matched values for both (+/-) audio lines , connected via silver plated high grade copper wire. The Rockmann converter offers additional power filtering and generates out of the standard 48V Phantom Power a clean filtered & stabilized 12V T-Power/Tonaderspeisung supply voltage. Our Audio Grade components won't fit into the common 'barrel style' adapters as seen elsewhere.

CONNECTION SOCKETS:
* The XLR Female Socket (Labeled: 12V Tonaderspeisung / T-Power Out) is for the connection to the Microphone. Microphones with a Small/Klein Tuchel Connector would need a 'Small Tuchel to XLR Adapter Cable*' for the connection into the converters female XLR input. (*Please see my other listings). -Microphones with a standard XLR male connector but being still Tonader-Powered like some Sennheiser 406T and 416T do only need a standard XLR mic cable for the connection to the converter.
* The XLR Male Socket on The T-Power Converter (Labeled: From Mic PreAmp / 48V Phantom Power In) is meant for the connection to the Input from Mixer/Mic PreAmp via a standard XLR microphone cable.

The components are housed in a sturdy, polished Aluminium Diecast Enclosure with a clear gloss top coating
Dimensions: Approx. L111 x W60 x H30mm
Weight: About 280Gr.
