It DOES have phantom power, but not driven by USB. It requires an external power supply.

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.

My Behringer UMC drove my Behringer C-3 fine off USB. I like the option of being 100% unplugged with a Surface laptop, Roland Aerophone and an iON PA. I just use a Shure SM57 for live sax playing. I prefer condensers on my desktop.

Sometime for fun, try a demo of the dual diaphragm Shure KSM8. Black or silver. Although it's five times the price, I really love the sound on my brighter horns. And it's dynamic - no phantom power needed. Like all Shure mics, built like a truck.

Pretty rich for my blood.. Anyway, I tend to go after the Stan Getz/Paul Desmond dark sounds. I've been trying my whole life to sound like an old white guy. I'm finally getting there.. smile
