AKS Sound Stage Equip Question (16) RE: Sound Stage Equip Question 21 Sep 00

Mooh, here's a pro's advice re phantom powering:

Any dynamic mic with BALANCED output can be plugged safely into an input with phantom power on.

UNbalanced outputs - high imp. mics, elguitars & pickups, keyboards etc - require different approach, that's propably why Mackie and Roland make caution against using 'non-phantomable' mics when phantom's on. Yet the risk of damaging the mixing console is not very high because all modern gadgetry are equipped with safety resistors against shortcuts at inputs.

(oh, to be honest, the pro is not I, but a friend of mine who's been some 30 years at the business of playing and repairing electric instruments, sound enforcement and recording)
