Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Heck, even a dynamic microphone that DOESN'T require phantom power won't work out of the box with an XLR to 1/4". I've tried that with a Shure SM57 and an old XLR to 1/4" I had lying around. You can hear it...but at a whisper. The preamps within the audio interface are what power it. A computer's audio out isn't nearly enough power.
TL;DR: No. get the USB one or get an audio interface with phantom power to go with it.
