Switchcraft has been awarded a US Patent for Phantom Lift, the technology currently incorporated into its 900 Series of instrument direct injection boxes.

The 900 Series, which is geared toward live sound applications, offers the world’s only direct boxes with a ground-lift switch that can be controlled remotely using phantom power from almost any audio console. In the past, any unwanted noise on a line using a passive direct box meant that someone would have to run on stage to flip the ground lift switch on the direct box.

Phantom Lift enables the engineer to activate the switch remotely, simply by engaging phantom power on the console.
