The Rane RTA mic is an odd duck with a 1/4" connector and runs on a DC voltage...check out link. RaneNote 104 is obsolete and no longer on the Rane website. For a better view, save it to your computer.

You might make it work but you will need to do mods

Note 104 was about MIC1 but you appear to be asking about MIC2. It sounds like the mic cable has been changed but MIC2 still requires 2VDC while the current standard for condenser mics is 48V phantom power. my understanding is, you can use MIC1 or MIC2 but it requires mods and I believe they are explained in RaneNote 104.

Excellent. Thank you. I appreciate your rapid responses.
