Thanks, all, for setting me straight. I kinda knew that in the back of my head. To
be sure, I checked all eight phantom switches on the Nady and only the two condenser
mic's were engaged. In any case, The Mackie looks to be the solution for now.

Amen. Just so the original poster knows, switching on phantom power
sends 48 volts of DC power straight into the attached device, whether it
was designed to take it or not. There are microphones that need that
(condensers) to function. For anything else, that is BAD... On my
mixer, the phantom power buttons on each channel are RED buttons, and
for good reason! Ray Rashif wrote:
That is NOT what phantom power is for. Usually, phantom should be
switched off on your dynamic mics (kick, snare, and toms) and on for
your condensers (overheads). Did you try padding it? Or does this preamp have
no pad button? Can't
tell by the photos nor is it stated.
There's no pad button. There's a phantom button to give it a little
extra juice.
