I often use Octava ML52 ribbon mics and have scary moments when plugging them in in case phantom power is being sent down the lead.

Ocasionally I come across desks that only alow phantom switching in grops of channels so I cant specifically switch of phantom on a particular channel.

I often loan them to friends so I cant be positive people wont check phantom before pluging in.

Is there a device or way of wiring a mic lead so that it strips the phantom without affecting the signal?

Any help appreciated

Thanks
