No, dynamic mics do just fine with 48V Phantom power all the time. 3V won't
hurt them.


Not 3 volts applied between Pins 1-2 and also Pins 1-3, but not
between hot and ground as would be the "bias" voltage on an unbalanced
mic input typical of the sound cards designed to be used with those $5
condenser mics that you buy at computer storres.


That is NOT phantom power. It's something very different, and folks who
call it phantom power should be ashamed.
