I'm using two AT4051's for live recordings off the stage into my Akai DR16.
I've been using a Mackie board to supply the phantom power, and just use the
inserts to run the signals to the Akai. Works fine, until a band comes along
that uses all my mic pres/inserts on the board.

Is there a simple phantom power supply solution with clean in/outs, or some
schematics that I can build? Or do I need to get a preamp? The Akai already
has OK sounding inputs for my purposes, just no phantom power.

Thanks!

Phantom power boxes are made by AKG, Audio-Technica, Stewart, and a few
others. Watch out that the AKG one has DC on the outputs, which makes it
fine for a transformer-input preamp but not so good going into one with
a transistor front-end. Most of the phantom supplies are around $50 to $100.
