Update:

Well, took em long enough, but Soundcraft responded:

Phantom power only shows up on the XLR connections of the input jack.
The 1/4 inch input is isolated. Rick

Just making sure, All the stuff I have with the combo jacks only has 3 connections and the Neutrik site didn't seem to address it.

Speaking as someone who has soldered both the switched and unswitched versions of that connector, I'll say definitively that the switching jacks have many more than 6 contacts.... Even the unswitched connectors have seven:

XLR 1-3 + shield
TRS 1-2 + shield

I'm not saying that combo connectors with three contacts (plus a shield tab) didn't exist at one time, but it definitely isn't what they currently sell as combo connectors.

The switched version has 11 contacts:

XLR 1-3 + shield
TRS 1-2 + TRS 1-2 + shield + shield

If memory serves, In addition to the three TRS contacts being switched, plugging in an XLR connector disconnects a switched shield on that connector. I could be remembering wrong, though. At least I -think- that's what the eleventh pin is....
