Re: Phantom Power Question

2007-03-18 by Flynn

There is a button on each Behringer mixer where you can turn off the
phantom power.

DON'T, I repeat, DON'T turn it on!!! You can really do extensive harm
to your module!! You could damage the outputs of the gadget.

It's the same with condenser mics. If you attach them to the mixer
with the phantom power tuned on, you'll almost surely kill it in an
instant. When using mics, turn it off, wait for some minutes, plug the
mic in, then turn phantom power on. After use, turn off phantom power,
wait for at least 2-3 minutes (but do longer), then plug out the mic.
