Phantom Power

What exactly is this Phantom Power thing? Phantom power is a very small amount of current, usually between 9 and 48 volts that is needed by condenser mics in order to function. Typically phantom power is supplied to the mic from either the mixer or the pre-amp via the XLR cable connecting the two, but this is not always the case. Some condenser mics have an internal battery, while others have an external power supply that comes with the mic.
