My aardvark Q10 supplies phantom power... if I have a preamp in front of it that doesnt supply phantom power can it go through the preamp from the Q10 to the mic ...or will things explode?

It has something to do with the connection resulting in a net zero DC potential. (Or is that Directional Mics?)
From what i have read though NEVER use unbalanced leads to go from the phantom powered Aardvark to the preamp.
