The P16's outputs are connected directly to the inputs (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and pin 3 to pin 3) so that phantom power passes through unchanged. Please note, however, that you should be extremely careful not to connect phantom power to an input or output not designed to handle it." ## Frequently Bought Together - ART P16 XLR Balanced Patchbay - GearIT XLR to XLR Microphone Cable (3 Feet, 10 Pack) XLR Male to Female Mic Cable 3-Pin Balanced Shielded XLR Cable for Mic Mixer, Recording Studio, Podcast - Multi Colored, 3Ft, 10 Pack - MIKIZ XLR Cables Braided 1.2 Ft Short 6 Packs 3 Pin XLR Jumpers Male to Female Patch Cables Balanced for Microphone Mic Zoom --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/52815890-art-pro-audio-p16-xlr-balanced-patch-bay](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/52815890-art-pro-audio-p16-xlr-balanced-patch-bay) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
