Just as an illustration, this is my mixer. Note a little pushbutton just to the left of the Master Level fader that says +48v Phantom.

That turns on the phantom power to all four microphones. Not all microphones need or want it so provision is made to turn it off.
So while you’re shopping, that’s what you need to look for. Something that says it will supply +48v Phantom Power to the microphone. This is not that unusual, but as you start getting into smaller and smaller, and cheaper audio devices, that can get left out. It has to say so explicitly. Don’t assume it’s there.
We did reviews of USB sound devices, but apparently didn’t review any microphone amplifiers.
