what might have happened here
« on: September 08, 2009, 12:30:47 PM »
so i have some spro mics (sp-bmc-2) and run them into a spro bbox then into a microtrack via 1/4
at some point the phantom power switch got turned on while in my pocket
the recording seems fine, the mics seem fine (used them again after the fact)
is there anything i should be worried about or look at closer?
thanks

For the future, put a piece of tape over the phantom power switch and any other switches you don't want to move.

Don't know why nothing happened to the mic. Could the battery box have somehow kept the phantom power from reaching the mic?

I tape the bejesus out of everthing I'm not gonna use.  In fact my Edirol looks like a giant wad of gaffer tape with a wire coming out of it.

That's what I did when I had an MTI.
