Midi Pinout Phantom Power

[tommmillar]

Hi,

I'm having a patch panel made for me, and I need to know which of the phantom power midi pins is positive and negative, does anyone know?

I know that is is the pinout:

1 - Reserved
2 - N/C
3 - Reserved
4 - DATA+
5 - DATA-
6 - Phantom power
7 - Phantom power

But which of 6 and 7 is positive and negative respectively?

Thanks in advance for the help!

The MFC and the GCP both use AC power so there is probably no positive or negative pole as such.
pin7 goes to the center pin of the power plug
pin6 goes to the exterior of the power plug

I see, I did think that as it was AC this would be the case, thank you very much for clarifying!
