For which - why standardize around this connector and not XLR, which is the first thing that comes to mind for 48V? Too big/bulky?

- zaxomi 2y agoThe phantom power at 48 volts used with XLR connectors only have a current at about 10 milliampere. Enough to supply power to a little microphone. The connector is bulky and of metal, and designed to be used inside. It's also expensive compared to other connectors. There are a lot of cheaper, more suitable connectors, designed to carry power.
