Abstract
A microphone system includes a microphone capsule, an audio amplifier and microphone electronics. A phantom power supply provides power to the audio amplifier and the microphone electronics through cable conductors. The microphone system includes a power supply that provides a supply voltage to the microphone electronics, a polarization voltage to the microphone capsule and a supply voltage to the audio amplifier. The power supply includes a constant current generator. The constant current generator operates as a constant current sink for the phantom power supply.
