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

In particular the Rode NTG-2. If you turn on phantom power the phantom
power permanently is destroyed in the mixer.

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.

I just report. It destroyed two mixers, MX802A's. The mic didn't
work on phantom power, and the phantom power light no longer came on
when you flipped it on afterwards.

``destroyed'' means only that phantom power no longer works.
