Most devices that suply phantom power, do so to

a Ducane supply where the DC appears on the
TRS connectors also.

So it is good practice *always* to ensure the phantom
is switched off before inserting or removing any connector.
That way you won't get caught out.

I've seen plenty of installations where the console supplies the phantom
powering so that goes via the jackfield.

Why does it need to go to the jackfield? The mic inputs are
usually XLRs on wall boxes, and hardwired to the console
inputs.

But what we are talking about here is a small preamp/FX
unit that Keith has, which also supplies phantom.
