most of the small digital recording systems offered up now have phantom on or off at least on one channel. The problem with the condensor mics is their cost for a decent one, a good large diaphram one will run a person at least 350.00 bucks like the sm7 or something like that, but if you are looking for a mic that will not require phantom, has decent vocals both recording and live the the sm 58 should be the mic of choice, i have seen some of those suckers that look like trucks rolled over them time and time again and they still work as good as the day you took them out of the box.
