That the pre you get will supply that. some only
supply 12v . some mics will have a range in which they
can work .. 8-15 v lets say. I have used my sm81 with my felix
with good results. The felix will supply 48 v as well as 12v pp. which makes it versatile.

The DPA should work with a range of voltages, tho you might get less gain with very low voltages. But nearly anything that provides true phantom power thru an XLR should provide either 48 volts (virtually all mixers), or 24 volts (some guitar amps with XLR mic inputs). The DTar Solstice is an odd one that provides 15 volts, but should still work.
The 12 volt setting on the Felix is different - the XLR input always provides 48 volts phantom power for a balanced mic cable (if the phantom is switched on). The 12 volts is only for the 1/4 inch inputs, and can be used with an internal electret mic, typically installed to use a TRS cable, sending 9-12 volts on the ring. For the 4099, with its XLR adaptor, you'd just use the XLR input, which is 48 volts.
