I got an electret condenser mic that needs Phantom power 36-52V and I don't have anything to plug it into.

My soundcard is RME 9632 PCI and it has enough inputs/outputs but nothing with Phantom power.

What is the least expensive pre-amp-whatever way to connect the mic so I can use it?
I don't care about the quality, just to be able to record voice.
Thanx in advance

Either a small mixer or a mic preamp will do.
Examples:
Behringer XENYX 502
Phonic AM105
DAP Audio SC-14
Icon Neo Preamp 2
Behringer Mic800

I have a Joemeek threeQ, it's okay for recording one microphone:

Small, portable and you can pick up one around 150usd on e-bay.

A friend of mine recommended ArtProAudio stuff but I have no further experience with them yet. They worth a try in my opinion:

Actually I ended up with a second hand ART Tube MP

Looks clean and it is good quality according to Thomann
