my aston microphone isn't working

hey, so I have an aston condenser microphone which I want to use to record instead of using my shure SM58. I have a focusrite scarlett 3rd gen and I use logic pro x. I'm able to plug in and use my dynamic mic fine with no problems, however, when I plug in my aston mic, logic isn't picking up anything from my mic? It works fine as I've sued it before in studios etc. But I don't understand why it wont work. Can someone help me please :)

A condenser Mic uses Phantom power.

Safty issues when using Phantom power. Make sure your amplifier/speakers are off when enabling Phantom Power. Do not plug or unplug the Microphone with phantom power enables. Always be sure to use a good (tested) mic cable. Phantom power uses the mic cable to send 48v to the mic. If the microphone came with a manual. Read It before proceeding.
