Microphone set up - Rode NT1 Condenser

Please excuse me if this has been asked before.
I am looking to go to a condenser microphone and boom for my Flex 6400, I really don't like the supplied fist microphone, it gives good audio but feels so flimsy.
Would the Rode NT1-A plug straight into the Flex 6400 or Maestro A that I own, or would I need to have an external mixing desk? I don't understand microphones as such, hence the question, I am mainly a CW operator.
Thank you for any help offered.

The NT1-A is a condenser type mic and requires 48 v of bias (phantom). The Flex radios are designed for electret (3.3 v bias) and dynamic (no bias) microphones.
To use a studio mic requiring 48 v, you will need to use a mixer or other device that provides the phantom power. Check the NT-1A manual for how to do this.
