I've used a Marantz in the past for radio interviews. I went through loads of AA batteries. Can this one be charged & used without batteries?

This model does offer a good battery life. You could use the power cord or use rechargeable AA batteries

I have mainly used mine with the power cord and the batteries inside. I would think that it would work with the cord only.

No, but I use rechargeable batteries and the expense on power has been negligible.

Hi David,No, the GLS Audio ES-57 (and ES-58 & ES-58-S) mics do not require phantom power or a battery. They are "dynamic" mics. Generally a "condenser" mic would require phantom power or a battery. If your system provides phantom power it will not damage the GLS Audio microphones. They will still function 100% perfect with or without phantom power. This may not be true for all mics, so be careful with other brands when supplying phantom power. Check with the manufacturer before you supply phantom power to other brands of microphones.Best Regards,Bryan SundaGLS Audio800-897-8373 Hi David,No, the GLS Audio ES-57 (and ES-58 & ES-58-S) mics do not require phantom power or a battery.

I have used several decades Marantz and had never a broken unit, I'm sure that Marantz Europe will help you with service if needed. Be aware that US equipment is build for 110Volt 60Hz, Europe has 230Volt 50Hz Best Regards, Andries Bosma

size AA batteries is not included. I don't know how many hours in operation before changing batteries, I am using mine for almost 6 months now but I haven't changed my batteries yet. The moment you connect the device to the amplifier, that's the only time it uses power but once you disconnected it, it will stop using battery power. Device is recommended for low budget and the quality is just right for that amount.

The batteries likely are for a separate led flash unit. This antenna does not require batteries. Not sure what description that you are reading.

The radio comes with a charging cable that plugs into a USB connector. Any USB socket can be used the charge re-chargeable batteries. That can be the USB jack in a computer, or any generic charger/adapter with a USB socket. You can use ordinary Alkaline or carbon-zinc AA's in it (but not recharge them), or you can use NiMH rechargebles. I've done both.

All you need is a USB cable and it will charge rechargeable batteries. You will need to change the settings to rechargeable batteries though. You can't beat this radio for the price!

no AC power, but it plays for quite a while on the batteries and delivers great stereo sound; albeit a bit narrow given its size. It also has two outs for head phones and audio as well as a 'socket" for audio in. I think it's a great little radio.

I only use batteries, but the marking would appear to be so. AS far as the other answer: Sorry 'bout that. It is, after all, just a "rehearsal amp", as the seller said, not a full-blown concert amp. I use it for a harmonica amp at a nursing home; it works just fine for me!!! I can't haul around anything bigger.

there is a rechargeable battery that comes with the radio. you charge it on the base that the radios are sitting on in the picture. there is an adaptor that you can buy to make it use regular batteries if thats what you want to do.

If you mean can you charge batteries other than the ones in the radio itself then the answer would be no. It doesn't have the capacity to produce that much power.

We use AA batteries in it, but only while the regular batteries are charging. As others have stated, the AA batteries are rapidly depleted, so are really only worthwhile as backup.

There is no battery. It uses an A/C adapter with a USB connection so it's electrical. I believe the answer to your question is Yes. I use it all the time walking all over the place. I've walked within 500 feet of the receiver before having the sound impaired. This of course will depend on the clear signal to the receiver.

They can operate without battery but you need batteries if you want to switch on the built in amplifier.

It comes with a charger/power adapter. It will charge the batteries and allow the radio to be on at the same time. The radio has a switch to change from regular AA Alkaline to NimH rechargable. I like this radio because of being able to recharge the batteries in the radio while playing it at the same time. This is a quality product and I recommend it.

The radio is not designed to charge batteries internally. An alterative would be to have twelve batteries on hand. When the six battries in use show signs of weakening, they can be put into an external charger and be replaced with the other six batteries on hand. This process can be repeated indefinitely.

No, it will run on AA batteries (6, I believe, for the 8-channel one I bought). They lasted quite a while for me, but I don't use it much. I bought the adapter for extended sessions. It's a REALLY good adapter, but it's not necessary to use the machine.
