Yes, there are 4 pre inputs with phantom power. From the site:

Ensemble features 36 channels of simultaneous audio, including 8  
channels of Apogee’s legendary A/D and D/A conversion, 4 transparent,  
digitally controlled 75db mic preamps, 8 channels of ADAT I/O, 2  
channels of S/PDIF coax and optical I/O, and FireWire connectivity to  
and from the computer

The preamps feed the A/D side or you can go direct through the rear  
channel inputs.
