I had one in for review and one channel died. Actually, I killed it by
plugging in a mic with the phantom power turned on. It isn't producted
against the high voltage transients that can occur when you can do
that. If you've been using phantom power and haven't been turning it
off when connecting or disconnecting mics, that's probably what's
doing it.
