Hi Tony,

Do you REALLY want to know?

Seriously, all you really need to know is that condenser mics require phantom power (48 volt external power) while dynamic mics don't. Some mixers include phantom power which is feed into the mic thru the mic jack itself. The Yamaha & Technics arrangers do not include mic phantom power, so if you want to use a condenser mic, you need to add a phantom power box or mixer which provides phantom power. Hope that helps. - Scott
