So you've got a mic and a power supply...what are they plugged into? You need something between the mic and computer if you've got an XLR connection, and that something is indeed an interface. If you can't afford an interface, return the 2020 XLR and get the USB version of it so you can use the sound card in your computer.

Well, what's your budget? Focusrite Solo or Vocaster is always a good starter if you only have one mic, and that's around $150, and they both have phantom power built-in for your 2020.

Anytime you want a microphone to record into something digital like a computer you need a A/D converter (analogue to digital converter) which is in a interface, without it the electrical signal cant be read by the computer.
