OK - Condenser mics need "phantom power" to make them work.
In most professional mics, this is provided by the mixing desk/interface/preamp as phantom power (48 Volts).
SOME condenser mics will work with an internal battery (need to make sure the battery isn't flat, and that the mic is switched on [I KNOW this sounds basic, but surprising how many times people miss this]).
If using phantom power from a preamp (such as your Behringer preamp) you again need to ensure Phantom Power is switched ON at the preamp, and the mic is "ON".
Phantom-powered condenser mics (i.e. those without batteries) will not work directly with a 244; the 244 does not provide phantom poewer.
In this case, you need a separate phantom power box between the mic and the 244.
There's a company called ART who make a great range of phantom power boxes, also DI boxes and a host of other really useful stage and studio problem solvers at reasonable prices. Check out artproaudio
