Do I need to switch on phantom power for this?

Yes. This is a condenser microphone, so it needs 48V phantom power from your mixer, preamp or an active DI. Without it the microphone will produce little or no output. More on phantom power.

What polar pattern does it have?

Omnidirectional, meaning it hears equally all round. That gives a natural sound and steady level regardless of angle, at the cost of picking up more of the room, so it is better suited to speech and studio use than a loud wedge-heavy stage.
