The P16's outputs are connected directly to the inputs (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and pin 3 to pin 3) so that phantom power passes through unchanged. Please note, however, that you should be extremely careful not to connect phantom power to an input or output not designed to handle it." ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by M***N on 9 April 2026* Works flawlessly ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nicely built *by A***X on 25 June 2020* Does exactly what it says on the box.
