Watch out! Some phantom power mics blow up Behringer mixers.

In particular the Rode NTG-2. If you turn on phantom power the phantom

Where on earth did you pick up that little urban legend? You can dead
short a behringer preamp without damage - as you probably can any pre.
They are current-limited by a pair of 6.2k resistors, so it would take
some extraordinary feat of engineering incompetence to make them
susceptible.
