FCB1010 Phantom Power

[RockerAlex]

I'm sorry, I know there's quite a few threads on this but no matter how many I read I can't get my head around it ops

Am I simply able to buy one of these (Rocktron 5/7-Pin Midi Cable - Thomann UK Cyberstore) and hook it to the Axe midi in + phantom power in -> fcb midi out and it'll all work or is there more I need to do?

 

[RockerAlex]

Anyone?

No it wouldn't work. The FCB1010 doesn't use an adapter, but a kettle lead type connector. It can't get power through the midi cable.

Hi ,

To get this working You need make some changes inside FCB1010 .

Here You have all the instructions .

It looks difficult , but it's not .

Will this method work with the cable I linked up there?

With some adaptation to what is in that document it would. But do you feel up to figuring it out ?

Of course, that'll be my next project.

OK. A bit more of an answer...

In short I think, follow the steps in the document to bypass the power input and built in transformer.

Also add a connector into the Behringer, to recieve the power adapter of the cable mentioned in the link you posted.
5 pin midi and power connector of lead then plug into the Behringer,
7 pin midi into Axe FX.
Adapter in rack plugged into the phantom power of the Axe FX to take the power from the adapter which then passes through to the 7 pin midi.

If you get it working it may be worth updating the thread with the details, but theoretically it should work.

Please also check the current draw specifications for the Behringer don't exceed the maximum load and the adapter to the phantom power jack doesn't exceed 1A, or you will damage the Axe FX. See page 11, point 23 of manual (v6.00c) Normal Caveats such as blowing equipment up etc apply. Entirely at your risk.

Are you saying I'll need that cable linked above with the little extra power cable attached to both ends? I also read somewhere else that it's possible to wire the 5pin cable to transfer power if soldered differently.

I am saying that if I was to do it that's how I would approach it.
