if the mixpad can provide phantom power, yes.  i believe the c1000s can take phantom.

However if you do use phantom then it will drain the mixpad's power source quicker, just something to remember.

the increase in sound quality will be worth it, if the mixpad can go a whole set. phantom makes c1k's sound a whole lot better.

I used to use rechargable NiMH 9v's with my mixpad. I bought a little battery tester and ran a bunch of tests to figure out my max run time.  All mics consume require different amounts of power so it would probably be best to run your own tests.
