hello everybody
the 48v phantom power of my interface scarlett 2i2 doesn t not stay on when i plug it into my phone and using garage band. i am using a apple adapter lightning to usb to power the whole thing. works great when i use the whole set up with my ipad. but can t get the 48v to stay on with the iphone.??
any idea?

thanks

I'm guessing that either the Iphone doesn't supply enough power, or the adapter is limiting the power available. I can't find anything about the power requirments for the Focusrite, or the power capacity of the Apple adapter. I did find that the 4i4 requires 900mA of power. The microphone also requires a certain amount of power, not just 48v.

You might see if you can use a powered USB hub to run the 2i2. What are the power capabilities of the Iphone vs the Ipad?
 
thanks for the reply
i saw on some video that they used some powered usb hub. i just bought one, i ll try that.
thanks
