Were those comps done with parallel splits or isolated splits?

A transformer isolated split does not normally pass phantom power, so it wouldn't matter if phantom were engaged on both decks in this case.

In a parallel situation it could cause pops and other line problems.

It was just a passive splitter... never noticed any problems when running with both phantom sources on.

But such is the complexity of good comps... Ideally you eval the sound of the one rig and compare it to the dual rig config as a control before comparing the different gear..

I've never done this, but I was always under the assumption that you could run phantom power on both units.

I've run most of my comps using a simple XLR-splitter with phantom engaged on one preamp or both.  Both options worked fine to my ears with the gear I was using.  Doesn't mean it's an ideal solution (due to load, impedance, I don't know what else b/c I'm not techie-enough), but it's definitely workable.  And while different phantom power implementations may have an impact on the sound of the unit, in this case we're talking about 2 V3s, so I wouldn't expect significant differences in sound due to different implementations of phantom.

what i would do is rally another v3 (i have one i'd spare for this), and go:
             
                                              _V3 #2 (oade mod, attenuated)
                                             /
v3 #1 (preamp and analog out)>--
                                             \_v3 #3 (stock, attenuated)

doug acm'd one of my v3's, and i promised him i'd get some comps up, but have never had the ability to... until now....

I think that would be a pretty good config for the comp....  I'd just add a digiout from that front-end v3 as a control for the other two and to confound any know-it-alls out there ;)

How about not running attenuation on the pair of comp v3's.  And if attenuation must be used, run it on the front end v3 (which would be run at min gain, 10)?
