Phantom power, in the context of professional audio equipment, is direct current (DC) electric power equally applied to both signal wires in balanced microphone cables, forming a phantom circuit, to power microphones that contain active electronic circuitry. It is best known as a convenient power source for condenser microphones, though many active direct boxes also use it.
