Peter,

I've never done that myself, however working with a quantity of the K6 
series microphones, they are very rugged and reliable, I doubt that 
would hurt either.

When you say you plugged the ME66 into the line out socket, I assume you 
mean you plugged a K6 power module into the line out socket and as the 
K6 is made to interface with 48 volt Phantom power drivers, a 1 V Line 
output device shouldn't be able to damage it.  As the output of a 
ME66/K6 is 50 mv, I doubt it would hurt a line output driver device.  
Besides, most of these circuits have series resistors/capacitors in 
matching circuits between the solid state active device and the actual 
socket so I'm sure your gear is OK...
