Not quite sure what phantom power means but it only requires a USB plugin. I've used mine every day for Skype and quite often for voice acting. Perfect for the cost.

The Behringer C-1U isn't a standard microphone. It is a USB microphone that plugs directly into a computer. I purchased one for recording lectures and it fits the purpose well enough. The Behringer C-1 (without the U) does require phantom power.

It does not. The gain is too low and I returned it. I decided to purchase these instead:MXL 770 Cardioid Condenser MicrophoneFocusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Audio InterfaceMore expensive, but much better quality and gain.

Yes it will. There is a switch in the back to turn phantom power on or off and an led on the front that lights up when its on.

Phantom power is produced by audio mixer or mic preamp, or phantom power unit. There is no XLR cable MtF that can produce phantom power by itself. Please check your mixer, it should have a 48v button.

yes, this mic requires phantom power. Don't know whether or not your cable requirements will work or not. This link has some more info on using xlr to 1/4 cables - http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=118204

So long as the phantom power is supplied, then it should. It's when it's not that won't. You may want to ask an audio store about that.

Yes. Phantom power can come through any balanced line cable. It does not take a special cable. It does require that your mixer be designed to provide this power.

I don't believe it does. There is no on/off for phantom power and you wouldn't want to connect a ribbon mic to a phantom powered source, plus, only using it as a small line level mixer anyways. Sorry couldn't be more help.

Yes you can. Phantom Power uses very small electric current, so USB can be transformed into 48V Phantom Power.

This microphone does require phantom power. My board provides +48 V and it works flawlessly.

Does the mic need phantom (external) power? If not, then if you hooked it up as a mic, (in contrast to aux input) it should work fine.

It needs phantom power. If your system doesn't have phantom power you can ad a phantom power unit. There are some available on amazon.

If you're asking about phantom power, yes, it provides it. Maybe the question came because of the USB capabilities - just making sure you dont think it's USB powered - IT IS NOT. You need the included power supply at all times. A friend of mine made that mistake and was disappointed.

No, it does'nt has Any power at all, it gets powered by the phantom's battery.

The microphone needs to have a power source. If you do not have a (phantom) power it will not work.

No it won't, I use and Shure Beta 87 (condenser mic) in this unit and the phantom power has never been a problem.

No, it will need to get power from USB cable. Meanwhile, it will also need to get signal and drawing through computer's support.

Yes it does require phantom power. I'm pretty sure all condensers do. Regular xlr cables work. The power comes from your mixer or recorder.
