Phil is correct. A $50 Art Phantom II or the $70 Rolls PB-224 will
support use of phantom mics with all consumer and prosumer sound
recorders I've tested that have 1/8", PIP or non-PIP, unbalanced mic
inputs. There is considerable discussion about this in the list
archive. Try starting with http://tinyurl.com/c93f8l and

external pre compared to using just a phantom unit
