A condenser microphone requires a tiny amount of electricity to work. Without power, a condenser microphone does not make a sound. The electricity is called phantom power and is provided through the mic cable by the interface. Your DJ mixer may not have phantom power but any modern mic interface will have it. There is usually a switch to turn on phantom power. (A USB condenser mic gets its phantom power from the computer through the USB cable).
