Hi everybody,
A bit of background. I love the record line out feature offered by Egnater in these amps. Normally, I connect it to my mixer instead of micing my amp. This works well for me in my band because we only use dynamic mics (SM58, SM57) with phantom power of my mixer off.
However, this weekend I had the opportunity to use my Rebel 30 in a recording session with other musician's that were using condenser mics....and the mixer was not capable of individually selecting phantom power on / off in each channel. Their mixer had to be set to phantom power to accommodate their condenser mics. I did not want to risk possible damage to my Rebel 30 or their mixer......so I just mic'ed my cab for this session.
My question......is it safe to connect the record line out of my Renegade and Rebel 30 amps to a mixer set to phantom power without risk of damaging my amp(s) or the mixer??
Also, even if it is safe to do so......can I expect the same quality of sound from my amps when using the record line out connected to a mixer set to phantom power??
Neither the Renegade or Rebel 30 mention this in their respective manuals as best I can tell.
Thanks in advance.
