How dose it Work?
Long Answer
A Condenser microphone uses a strip of mettle as a Diaphragm that the sound waves wobble in front of a mettle backplate. Electricity will use the fastest route to complete the circuit so as the mettle wobbles it will pass electrons though the air when that is the quickest route but when there is no inputted waves the resistor is the quickest way to complete the circuit
Short Answer
The mic has a positive and negative election that are attracted across the mettle but as they are not touching will not meat till the mettle is there away where the cable will be come the shortest route for them to meat each other.
Do I need phantom power?
Yes Condenser microphones do require the extra phantom power (+48V) to function. Not providing phantom power will give you no signal.
