Double Bass DTAR Solstice & Powered Cabs?

[Jason Hollar]

A question for the tech heads (and Bob G.),

Does the Dtar Solstice have enough "juice" to drive a powered cabinet like a powered Wizzy or a JBL Eon/Mackie, etc?

Also...is the 9v phantom power enough to drive an Audio Technica mic?

Thanks!

Check that...the manual says it's 15v for the phantom...

Gotta check the mic specs. Some will work with less than 48v, some will not. I have a Shure Beta 98 that works fine with the Solstice, but an Earthworks mic that will not.

You could contact Dtar and ask if they have tried that particular mic. I recently contacted them about a repair issue and they were fantastic. Highly, highly, highly recommended. Dtar rocks.

Right...would hate to have to buy a preamp for my preamp.
