So we've just acquired a mixing desk, with the view to eventually build up a complete PA system for the band. I have a question about Phantom Power though...
I've just bought myself a DI box for dirt cheap at a clearance sale. Now this thing can use phantom power from the mixing desk, to save on batteries. Great, but I also have a Shure SM-57, for mic'ing up amps etc. I'm guessing the following question applies to any dynamic mic though; Is using a dynamic mic while using phantom power detrimental to any of the equipment in any way? The info on the desk says it has "Phantom power for studio condenser mics."
Basically, my question is: Can I use the phantom power from the desk to run the DI box, while using dynamic mics into the other inputs?
