Using the AT8506 or other properly designed phantom units won't damage either your condensor microphones or the TRP.
From the designer, Fred Forssell:
"As I mentioned above, you can use external phantom power supply boxes with the TRP, but only IF the external supply provides DC blocking at its output (the connection to the mic preamp's input). I know nothing about such products made by other companies, but it makes sense to me that they should provide DC blocking at their outputs. However, if they do not provide such DC blocking, you can make your own DC blocking adapater."
That statement basically absolves AEA if you choose to buy/use a crap phantom unit.
