I see this unit advertises "Phantom Power (global)" .... Does this mean I not able to run one channel without phantom power and one channel with phantom power, simultaneoulsy?

I also notice there is only one phantom power button...This concerns me because I need to run 2 mics at once, but only 1 of the mics will use phantom power.

Turning phantom power on will enable phantom power on both inputs on the 22 VSL.

Obviously if you do not need phantom power for a device you should not use it. However, it should not be problematic to have phantom power turned on unless you're using an old ribbon mic (or some other device that can be damaged by 48v).
