I'm going to break this down a little further in hopes to make it more clear.
The Samson PM4 is a module which steps down phantom power's 48 volts to ~9 so that, in this case, the modified mic can handle it.
The PM4 snaps on to a mini-xlr connector usually, but, if I recall correctly, many of the users' here Franken-Naks have the module hardwired.
I agree with Roving Sign, that, if you want to use these for stealth only, a 3-wire battery box is the best bet, using DAT or R-09. These themselves take (usually) left and right mini-xlr in and output on a stereo miniplug. The advantage to this is that it still provides the mics with that ~9 volts of neccessary power, but is much smaller, and the mini-xlrs by themselves are much smaller than the PM4.
I hope that helps.
