My apologies to all if I get over-opinionated here.  

If M-Audio is actually thinking that their customers
will turn off the phantom power before disconnecting
microphones, they're crazy!  That's like walking
around with a sign on you that says "Hit me"!

As a product designer with some 35 years of
experience, I would never design a product that could
be damaged by something that could occur during normal
use.  I certainly hope that this info is wrong.  I'll
try it a few times this evening.
