I have a Behringer Ultra-DI Pro DI4000 (which is an active DI Box) and want
to connect it to a Soundcraft Spirit LX7 Mixer. This Mixer has a Global
Phantom Power switch, meaning that when i turn on Phantom Power for my mics,
all of the XLR sockets receive Phantom Power. My question is, will it be
safe to connect the DI-Box to the XLR inputs anyway, even with the Phantom
Power on, or am I lokely to cook it by doing that. If anyone could answer
to the newsgroup, or direct to my email at I would be
most grateful.

Coo! It's Ultra AND Pro! Must be good :-)

It is good. The main problems for hi-fi use a

* The XLR connectors.
* The high output level.
* No remote control.
* It's designed for rack mounting.

What's hi-fi got to do with it? This is a piece of recording
equipment, interfaced to a mixer.
