What are your thoughts on this? I have a Tascam PB-32B balanced TRS 1/4” patch bay. My ART XLR 16 channel patch bay is connected to it, then TRS 1/4” to XLR going to my Tascam M-520. Although the preamps in the M-520 are nice, I’m trying to figure out a way to use my ART MPAII tube pre amp and using phantom power for a condenser microphone.
That said, using this set up of patch bays (XLR-TRS-XLR), if I chose to use the M-520’s built-in phantom power, is that possible as well? It’s just such a hassle with the M-520 having the +48V switches on the back (what were they thinking in a recording console placed in a desk in a tracking room?).
TIA
