[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 58281, member: 126"] Re: Phanton power destroying outputs ? For a little extra texture on this... the release of smoke from external connections is usually from the rapid discharge of fully charged phantom caps. Many of these same connections would probably survive, turning on the phantom "after" being plugged up, since that is generally current limited to mA not amps through the same path. Of course as Ivan mentioned many outputs are not engineered to tolerate 50v DC. So perhaps turn off phantom while patching up the system. Seems like people should already be doing that or perhaps patching with no power at all applied. JR [/QUOTE]
