Quick question for you guys.
I'm making up a bypass using some relays in a method similar to Igor's schematic ( http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=29770.0 )
and I was wondering how phantom power interacts with the bypass.
Should phantom power disengage when switching into bypass or does this not really matter? If 48V phantom was on to the hot and cold input pins while in bypass then the output would essentially have phantom power too?! (bad?)
My understanding is that phantom power should be applied on the circuit side of the bypass switch so that when the relay bypass disengages and switches to bypass mode, the 48V phantom is essentially lifted from the inputs. Is this right, or should it not matter if 48V is applied during bypass...?
