Thank you for your answers and suggestions.

BTW, Jeremy, I've been taking a look at the Saffire 40 user manual, and I
have a doubt. When phantom power is turned on (for example, at 5-8 inputs),
does this affect to input lines in the same segment (5-8)? I mean, it has a
connector XLR/TRS combo, so, I wonder if the +48V only affects the XLR
plug, or it will also power the TRS connection (that could damage some
line-level stuff connected at TRS). Well, I think this question is more or
less applicable to those interfaces with this kind of input combos.

Regards,
Agus Terol
