does the microphone amplify or is it pretend?

It's pretend ... but we find the volume is good ... and the songs and arrangements are so varied! They play with vocals AND without! Meredith, this is one of the few toys that we actually use! I hope you like it as much as we do!

I sent this to my granddaughter for Christmas so I haven't seen it for myself, however my daughter tells me that the microphone does work..

The microphone is pretend, but it really doesn't matter because it's so much fun for kids to put in the coins and make their music selections - lots of options for them and the sound quality is very good. My 3 1/2 year old grandson couldn't put this down, even with all the other toys he got for Christmas. He continues to have fun with it.

The mic has phantom, however, in my experience the wiring within the mic isn't so great as to prevent electrical interference when doing so. Using a AA battery eliminates the interference though. I guess that's what one can expect in a $50 shotgun mic. Also, the mic isn't as directional as it should be. If you're planning to do serious work, I'd recommend putting the money down.

It is not a Karaoke machine. It is a machine that disguises your voice with different sounds depending on the settings.

The speaker isn't loud or very good quality.. But it does let you verify you are recording something.. :)

No. The speakers were made so the sound is clearer and microphone is more sensitive :)

yes it does. actually the microphone is quite remarkable as it does pick up voices and sounds from far.

It applies your voice with the microphone. I'm not sure how you would so that with a phone but it definitely makes you louder.

No. It is a toy microphone that plugs into the base with a computer microphone plug (mini). The base has 2 speakers. The speakers are not too loud and has no volume adjustment.

Jerry, it's the real deal. It's a really nice mic with great sound. It makes my singing voice sound just like my talking voice - no distortion, great quality.

No, it's a condenser mic that needs separate wired phantom power. It is a great mic though.

Does it take other microphones to make the quality of the recording better. If it does, what works?

It might make what your neighbor says audible with the headphones, however you won't get a strong enough signal for recording. It's also not really a parabolic mic - it's just a toy.

If you are going to use a measurement mic, the computer program or the frequency spectrum could provide the pre-amplification that you need. it is more accurate if there is no pre-amplification in the input.

No, when you plug in an external mic the external mic overrides the built in microphones

No it does not. In fact it actually amplifies them. I returned the aid I purchased.

yes. it sounds like your mic is built into the mirror. you can always buy another mic and clip it somewhere

Eh...it's a great mic, but if you have speakers on, there WILL be feedback sent through. I don't think there's a mic that can realistically cancel out sound from the speakers but still pick up your voice. They advertise it as such, but the tech isn't really there. It's a great mic though for all intents and purposes!
