Do condenser mics need batteries?

The thing is, for a capacitor to work, it needs an outside energy source, such as a battery. Therefore, for your condenser microphone to work, it needs what is known as “phantom power.” This is unique to condenser microphones, as no other microphone requires phantom power.

What do I need to use AT2020?
