From the project
Phantom power to tonader adapter
World of professional audio has moved to phantom power for condenser microphones decades ago. But there are good microphones from older days out that used other standards - most notably tonader power (also called T12, T-Power or AB power). Pat-Mat (Phantom And Tonader - Microphone Adapter Thing) is a professional-grade adapter designed to convert standard 48V phantom power into 12V tonader power.
