bmowell Well-known member Jul 11, 2008 #1 Can I just turn the gain all the way down and the phantom power off and yank the xlr out of the mic and plug a new mic into the xlr? Should I turn my mixer off when switching mics? Will anything blow up if I don't turn the mixer off? Using a mackie onyx satellite.
