Connecting the pickup directly to a mic input will not produce good results (impedance mismatch) and if there is phanton power on it you will have DC in the volume and tone potentiometers, usually with high noise levels and very loud cracks as the result. But any preamp with and XLR output and designed to be connected to a mic input *should* either be immune to phantom power, or just *use* it (instead of using internal batteries).
