yeah,. its a dynamic mic so it wont do it any damage... but why would you want to do that anyway? it doesnt need it.

The 48V is sent on pins 2 and 3 (i.e. signal +ve and -ve) and 0V is connected to the mic ground. Unless you have a short to earth within the SM57 then there won't be any problems.

If you have only used dynamics before then also note that if you've got any dodgy mic leads then chucking phantom power down them will show them up by large amounts of crackles. Be prepared to replace some mic leads!

Should be ok. Standard techniques apply though - you shouldn't really plug and unplug whilst the phantom power is on.

No problem at all - I assume you have to have it switched on because you are using a condenser mic. as well?
