Default What interfaces have phantom power?

So, I want to get a fairly decent setup for recording some songs I wrote. Ill only be recording vocals and acoustic guitar. In another thread I was recommended a condensor mic (im looking at the studio projects b1) and an interface that has phantom power.
I was just curious what interfaces have phantom power, and how expensive they are...I really dont want to break the bank...
I appreciate any help! Thanks

Phantom power is a very common feature on even inexpensive audio interfaces these days. Use the Soundcard Wizard on this site to help select an interface for your needs.

Well by golly, you're right...I would have put that about number four,

Well I guess once you have it narrowed down to a manageable number you need to go to www.Musician'sfriend.com and look at the specs. They don't keep it secret. If it has phantom power it will be prominently advertised. I would guess 75% of interfaces provided phantom power. It's probably 95% above the $200 range.

well...sorry lol
Ya, I think $200 is above my budget for right now...

I was recommended a Shure PG48-XLR mic with a lexicon alpha interface, and I think I might go with that for now...
