Yes, it could be phantom power problem. I guess BF Blue uses breakout cable, does not it? So, it could possibly be a problem with this cable.

Thanks for the answer
i used the same mic switching physically from channel 1 to channel 2 ..
I suspect that there is an issue with phantom powering , i'll try a dynamic mic tonight

Hello
Something strange is happening since yesterday ( hopefully after my recording session) : my left in channelis much weaker than my right although i have the same gain. Left channel ( number) is barely audible. I tried different level of gain ( same for 1 and 2 ) with same mic but the difference is always important
i don't see why as it seems that TM configuration is the same..;except that in channel 2 next to 48 v button an instr buttpn appeared..see below.Any clue please?

The input channel 2 has shared input connector XLR or jack
if one use the jack input with a guitar make inst button ON.

In your case it is nothing to care about as it is OFF.

Your input signal should be the same when both mics are equal in good shape.

If you flip the mic cables will the low signal also flip ? if so, mic or cable has issue.

If the low signal stays with the XLR input this could be an issue with the hardware mic-preamp
The first screenshot from the recording looks indeed like defect input mic-preamp.

Please make some tests, screenshot of the two input signals in Totalmix would be nice

I see no metering in the ADAT inputs 1-8 under HW inputs, top row.
Are you sure that you are sending audio from the Steinberg interface through ADAT?

The setup is

UCX II [cs]---ADAT IN---------ADAT OUT---Steinberg MR816 [cm]

cm=clock master (clock source internal)
cs=clock slave (clock source ADAT IN)

On the MR816 you need to route audio to its ADAT outputs (1-8).
otherwise you can not see metering at the UCX II under HW Input ADAT 1-8 IN.

What is your audio source in the setup .. is audio playing .. ?

There's nothing connected....

Or the cable is defective ... at the end he needed to check.

Now he might only have a routing problem on the Steinberg recording interface, that no channels are being routed to ADAT.

When did you take this screenshot? Was the Steinberg device connected?

I am wondering that the BBF has configured "clock source Optical in" but "Current clock:" is "internal".

You need to change dl=0 to dl=1 in the URL if you use img tags, so that the picture is shown directly.
Otherwise it is not even clickable.

I did this now for you.
