See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge [Paraphrased from the excellent rec.audio.pro FAQ at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/AudioFAQ/pro-audio-faq/faq.h tml ] Condenser microphones have internal electronics which require power. In phantom power (DIN spec 45596) the positive terminal of a 48V power supply is connected via 6800ohm resistors to both signal leads of a microphone and the negative terminal to the ground connection A dynamic or ribbon mic can be connected to a phantom powered circuit without damage. The only risks are a shorted mic cable, or some old mics with a centre tap - these will be damaged if connected to a phantom powered circuit.
