Re: Countryman DI QuestionI am apprehensive about speculating without looking at the actual design (but it hasn't stopped me before).I doubt it was an intentional operating mode. I can imagine a design constraint where to completely float the pin 1 ground connection, the front end needs power independent of phantom power that can't work without the ground return connection. Perhaps some automatic PS switch that only uses phantom when it detects that no battery is present (guess?). JR
