Yes, Steve, you are right as usual. XLR = 3 pins on the front but mine has four solder lugs on the back, number 4 presumably ground as you say. With 3 of the four connected as one I guess I answered my own question as there would need to be at least 3 separate connections to supply phantom power. Effectively I only have two connections same as jack input, the only difference is that XLR goes to a different part of the preamp board. So I'll just have to use condensers with their own internal battery. And you are also right about a separate switch but I just thought maybe they were continually powered....ho hum.....
