Jul 16, 2023 at 21:31 comment added Laurence Any properly designed item that's designed to connect to a balanced XLR input mic input will tolerate phantom power. Yeah, OK, maybe a few vintage ribbon mics with a faulty cable... But in real life, it's OK.
Jul 16, 2023 at 11:32 comment added Tim @Laurence part of it was panic, other part to stop anybody frying a guitar - or for that matter, a mic which doesn't need phantom power, e.g. condenser with a battery already integral, a ribbon mic, etc. Especially after said friend mentioned that his guitar had been fried previously. Not only #1, but the only one!

Jul 15, 2023 at 17:34 comment added Tim @Laurence - sorry, I don't get you drift. I basically panicked, having realised I didn't want to fry a friend's guitar while recording. Don't often cock up, and didn't want to with this.

Jul 15, 2023 at 0:03 comment added Todd Wilcox Yeah, the Boss should not deliver phantom power to anything not XLR. The biggest risk of phantom power these days is having an XLR connection somehow adapted to TRS, as might happen in a TRS patch bay. That can be bad for so many things. If you really want to be sure, just get a DI box for the pickup. Sonically, that's a good idea also.
Jul 14, 2023 at 23:58 comment added user1079505 Please check the owner's manual. Most likely it says that phantom is delivered to XLR only, not to TRS. I'm not sure which exact model of the recorder you have (is it BR1200CD?)
