My plan for XLR/TRS/Phantom Power

Hopefully someone here with more knowledge than I have can confirm that my plan here will work.

I have a need to record 3 condenser mics. My Yamaha AW4416 only gives me 2 XLR/phantom power/pre ports. So I am stuck trying to figure out how to get that third mic in the mix.

If I buy a stand alone phantom power unit, like this one:

Can't I basically buy (I can't make it myself) a converter cable to convert the XLR output into TRS, and run that into the balanced inputs 3-8 on the AW?

Thanks in advance!
 
If inputs 3 - 8 are microphone inputs, the answer is yes. If they're line inputs, you'll need preamps. A quick Google search seems to indicate that they are in fact microphone inputs, so you should be all set once you get the XLR to TRS cables.
