That's what I thought you might be asking, but I wanted to make sure. I
know of any portable MiniDisc recorder (other than HHB's, which is much
larger) that provides phantom power. This is true of a lot of the
portable DAT recorders as well. As a general rule of thumb, if it doesn't
have XLR connectors, it probably doesn't provide phantom power. The
recorders still might provide some sort of bias voltage, but I typically
think of phantom power as 48 VDC (Although a lot of microphones can work
on a range of voltage other than 48 volts).
