Should you turn off phantom power of Focusrite Scarlett to mics when not using them? I have my computer on basically the whole day with my Focusrite Scarlett USB audio interface connected to my computer. Should I turn off the phantom power to my shotgun mics/other mics when not using them? I can see the signal indicator go on and off as I do other things (instead of recording into my mic).
Will it do any harm to my mic (Sennheiser MKH 416 + others) if I leave them on indefinitely? What is the life of a shotgun mic and does leaving them on with phantom power on affect them in any way?
Thank you.
