Also, good to know the spec is for 20ma of total current available for phantom power. When I got the R44, I thought I'd be using an external preamp on at least 2ch so I didn't much pay attention, but several times I find myself running 4 mics directly into the R44.
Hopefully it will provide the spec'd 20ma. It seems a lot of condensor mics use somewhere in the range of 2-4.5ma. IIRC, the audix m12xx micros use about 6.5ma which is somewhat high, and earthworks mics use 10ma, which is very high. My Milabs use 4ma per mic, and the MBHOs I just picked up use 4.5ma. So for me, even running 4ch of mics directly into the R44 shouldn't be a problem (again, if it provides the specified 20ma).
It is close enough though that if you plan to run 4 mics directly into the R44, you should find out the current draw of your mics (which unfortunately isn't always published).
