Thanks. Yes, it has an AC power brick.

Surprisingly, phantom power technically can work off a USB bus alone. Surprised me, but it's the voltage (48) not the amperage (power drawn) that counts. And some phantom powered mics will work with lower voltages like 20 (brownout, anyone?). My Rode won't but my Beyerdynamic will; you just have to test.
