I thought it was dynamic mikes that didn't need phantom power. The condenser mikes need phantom power to charge the condenser (capacitor). *Electret* Condenser mics don't need phantom power.

Thank you for bringing this up. I dug around and found this chart from Canon:
Condenser microphone | Plug-in power (supplied from a recorder (camera) to the microphone) | Battery cell (supplied from a battery cell to the microphone) | Phantom power (supplied from external power equipment to the microphone) |
Yes | Yes | No | |
Dynamic microphone | Generating power by itself (Power is not required for the microphone including microphones used for Karaoke) | ||
No |
This made me read more about my particular mic. I learned that it had a few additional adapters, one for DSLR cameras! I bought the mic nearly a year ago and never needed any of the extra gear and forgot they were even there. D'oh!
That fixed it!!!
Thanks again for sending me down that rabbit hole.
