Q: 2. What about 48volt phantom power? Do the mics still get enough juice?

A: The Sescom XLR Male to XLR Female In-Line Attenuator (-50 dB) will bring a line level signal down to mic level, although it should be noted that a headphone signal does not have the same impedance as a true line output.

Q: 6. What is the color code

A: Is this referring to the internal wiring? We don't readily have a spec for that, so if you are making any modifications, I would test each wire with a multimeter to the corresponding pin. Otherwise if there's an issue, we can replace it under lifetime warranty through info@hosatech.com. Best regards, Hosa Support.
