I'd seen this but could not find my bookmark yesterday.

Note the XLR inputs don't provide phantom power.  It does appear they 
provide plug in power of 2.5volts.  Note also the XLR are only wired on 
two contacts, so it's not a balanced mic system.

I've considered getting one, actually I could use several dozen.
