> ?- It has 2 Mic-Ins with XLR and Phantompower all feed from > the USB-bus, no extra powersupply. Isn't phantom power 48Volts? I wonder that the device can get 48V from the USB bus. One device is allowed to get a maximum of 500mAmpere from the bus. USB is 5V. This means, the card has to convert 5V to 48V and would certainly need more than 5V/500mAmp. Maybe the phantom power is only available in conjunction with an external power supply? Just my 2 Cents. Best regards ce
