Hi Philipp,
I use a very similar setup to what you are suggesting. I have an Olympus
LS-11, a pair of AT3032 microphones in a sass-like boundary array and I
power the mikes with an ART Phantom II Pro dual channel phantom power
supply (US $70).
One of the things I like about the ART power supply is its flexible
powering options. It can run off of an internal 9 volt battery, or for
longer run times it can be externally powered by anything from 7 volts to
12 volts AC or DC. I use 8 AA NiMh batteries for about 10 volts and hours
and hours of operation.
The main limitation of the ART that I have found is that mine does not
supply a full 48 volts. More like 42 or 43 volts. The AT3032s don't seem
to mind, but my Rode NT4 does not work with it at all.
In my case it did not seem to make sense to invest the money in a more
expensive and reliable phantom power supply because I already had this one
for live performance. I decided to save the money and put it toward a
better recorder or preamp (sound devices). Still saving those pennies.
Meanwhile the ART is working well enough for me.
