Excellent information! Your Videos always have the 100% Perfect info. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@kettnercreative]

I appreciate that!

[@Paolo_Pino]

If I need to connect a stereo guitar pedalboard that ends with a DI box / Line Isolator - specifically the Walrus Audio Canvas - it's a problem connecting to the Soundcraft?

[@Acts19quiz]

Really strange and bizarre design choice. Looking at Soundcraft's options, both the Signature and Signature MTK (Multitrack) series have Phantom power switches (as well as USB output). Thanks for the information. This is something Soundcraft doesn't go over (at least on the product front pages).

[@kettnercreative]

Happy to help. Let me know if you have any other questions about this mixer and I'll make another video.

[@kalinmirchev]

I wonder if the 48V in the combo jacks will affect synths connected to the TRS? Or is it a TS in the combo jacks?

[@kettnercreative]

48v only comes out the XLR jacks. It is never connected to TRS or TS jacks.

@@kettnercreativenot true,If you have XLR-minijack cable it can happen,I did killed my audio player with this mixer!!

[@existing772]

please advice, Behringer Ultravoice UV1 is good choice for 250 ohm headphones?

[@kettnercreative]

Not sure, I haven't used it.

[@Elniniss]

What about wireless mic receivers?

[@kettnercreative]

What do you want to know about them?

[@Elniniss]

@@kettnercreative does phantom power damage them?
