Technically, phantom power for a microphone is going to a preamp circuit = that just happens to live in the microphone. Considering that DI products are almost always used in a situation where = phantom power is available, and potentially even where wall power = outlets might be in short supply, it makes sense that DI designers would = include the option to power everything from phantom power. In addition, since phantom power is (supposed to be) 48V, that=E2=80=99s = a lot more power for a preamp than, say, the +/-16V of 500 Series = modules. Granted, there are plenty of preamps that are in full 19=E2=80=9D rack = enclosures with dedicated power supplies.
