Okay, i understand.
But why not copy the preamp without phantompower-switch?
I´m sure it was possible at the iLive, or am i wrong?
Honestly, what device should not get phantompower?!
Since 20 years in buisness, the only thing´s that been destroyed by phantompower are the internal soundcard my of Apple iphone and macbook. In that case i used a adapercable without a DI-Box. BTW all my thinkpads can stand the phantompower on the jack!
AND i or maybe everyone don´t use a Ribbonmic, which can´t handle phantompower!
