It's important to know the difference between phantom power and 
plug-in power. Phantom power, nominally 48 Volts, is used by 
professional condensor microphones. It only works on balanced 
(3-wire) circuits. Plug-in power works with inexpensive condensor 
microphones, wired unbalanced. High-end consumer cassette recorders 
and all MD recorders with mike inputs supply plug-in power, typically 
a few volts, always on unbalanced circuits.
