Default troubles with zoom h4 external condenser mics

hi guys!

i'm enjoying with my h4 built-in mics but I'm not able to use external condenser mics. I've used 1/4inch jack for connection. Trying to switch around between phantom and mic option in the input menu but I've got luck: recorder just catch no sounds. Maybe microphones must be connected via XLR connectors?

Thanks for your attention
Massimo

if you are using true condenser microphones they require Phantom power which is only supplied via the XLR inputs not the 1/4" inputs.
