A normal "dynamic mic" is very unlikely to be damaged by phantom
power, though it is generally considered best to have phantom power
switch off when not required.
A battery powered "electret mic" may not work when connected to
phantom power, or may be very noisy, but will probably not be
permanently damaged by phantom power.
A "ribbon mic" will probably be destroyed instantly if connected to
phantom power. It is very likely that the ribbon will burn out
immediately on being connected.

Hi.
I'm reading about the xenyx 302.
it says that if I got a normal mic I shall be careful if I got phantom power.
how easy is it to break a mic?
I have a mic connected to my xenyx 1202, I don't want to break that
one if I connect it to 302.
