So i just bought a mxl2003 condenser mic and this is the first pro audio mic I've ever received. The "studio" is at my friends house but i wanted to test out the mic. I bought an XLR F to 1/4" analog M plugged it into my sisters karaoke machine and i didn't get any sound. Do i have a bad mic or do I NEED a phantom power source?
here's the link to the mic:
