As the previous poster stated, phantom power is usually expressed as 48v whereas in practice the unit using the power takes what it needs. The offered power will be regulated to match the need.

What's more, don't confuse the battery rating with the Multiac's phantom power rating - there will be some sort of regulator or transformer internally to ensure that the right current goes to the electronics. Some DI boxes (eg BSS) can be powered from both 9v batteries and "48v" phantom power.
