you're going to need some intermediate device for powering the mics.  they 
cannot run off 
phantom power.  the way i have my 183s rigged to go into my 744 is this:  the 
mics are wired 
together into a stereo mini plug.  that goes into one of these:

and then that has a mini-stereo XLR cable coming out to go into the 744.

There are other ways to do it, but you will need some sort of device to send 
the proper power 
to the mics.  They need 'plug-in power' which is basically a consumer version 
of phantom 
power for mics that use mini connections.
