I've run a similar rig before but never used phantom power, and what is the 10db pad for? Does it serve as an attenuator of sorts? Had an attenuator cable but never needed it for that rig. I can't really comment on what happened to your recording but how about some advice as to your phantom power accident. I've placed a small piece of clear tape over the last two buttons: the L/M/H button (set to "L"), and the phantom power in the off position. Because for those recording situations it has been my experience to use the "L" input no matter if you are using the "Mic In" jack. It delivers a cleaner sounding recording. You don't need phantom power because you are using a bat box, your mics get their power from the bat box.
Hope that helps with that problem but sorry couldn't advise you on the recording problem.
