Main Index .: Current Saffire Range .: OctoPre MkII .: Will the OctoPre MkII supply phantom power to my microphone?

Will the OctoPre MkII supply phantom power to my microphone?

Yes, the two phantom power switches on the front panel turn on +48V phantom power to Mic inputs 1-4 and 5-8 separately. Phantom power is only sent to the XLR connectors on the combo input, so if a group of 4 preamps is used for both microphones (XLR) and line level sources (Jack cables), +48V is only sent to the microphones.
