These work, but I have a caveat. If the barrel is plugged into phantom
power, and you connect the T-power mic to it, the mic is presented
with a 48V spike before the voltage drops to 12V. This exceeds the
rating of the caps in Sennheiser mics, tho it doesn't usually damage
them...

Connect mic to supply first, then barrel to phantom, or even better
connect with phantom off.
