It gets its power from the recorder. We use two of these with an Olympus recorder and it works well.

Its self powered. So just plug into it and youre good. It works solo or you can daisy link them together.

It plugs in. I can't remember if you can use batteries too, we just always use the plug.

It plugs in to its own outlet. Plus it has a USB port in the back to charge your mic

It does not take batteries. Plug it in after use and that recharges the built in battery. I've had mine about 10 months and it will no longer hold a charge longer than a few seconds! Also it will only run off the battery power! I hoped I could just plug it in and use it that way but it stops charging and uses the battery that won't charge so it is useless without a working battery!

It is only battery powered. The battery is rechargeable, and can be recharged via a regular AAA battery charger (only one battery so would need another one to use this type of charger), but there is really never any reason to do this if you use the recorder with transcription or voice files on a computer. By using it with voice transcription or with voice files, even the short time it is plugged into the USB port, the battery is recharged automatically while connected. Great product and it uses very little battery power.

It works great for any microphone needing phantom power which, i'm pretty sure includes the Rode NTG3. It does not however, run on batteries. It comes with it's own 18volt power supply but if you plan on using your mic for photography and need to move around, then you probably want something else. Good luck :-)

It can use batteries or be plugged in, it comes with a power converter to plug it into a wall.

It comes with a its own power supply that must be plugged in. While it would be possible to power it from batteries I don't think it would be practical, it would drain them pretty quickly.

It actually uses batteries. I opened it up, recorded about 10-30 min. and put it away for about 3 weeks. It needed new batteries.

It comes with a mike cord that plugs into the mike and the amp. It doesn't use batteries. It is a very nice mike.

It uses three 1.5 volt batteries. Batteries were included. You touch to play, it plays and stops. It records your voice or a sound and plays it back.

Why is it in the product description it states that the microphone is powered by two AA batteries?

It does need phantom power but it pulls it from the usb port..u dont need any additional equipment to use this mic..its really simple plug & play.

The base receiver has a regular AC power adapter. The batteries for the microphones are not supplied. But are regular AA batteries, nothing special you have to search for.

yes....for a short time it is started and after a button push. By the way the recording I get with it are outstanding....the built in mikes do an excellent job for recording live music. One huge feature is that it uses a replaceable rechargeable battery that is recharged when you plug it (via the built in USB plug) into your computer USB port. Has very long battery life and recharges quickly. The replaceable single AAA rechargeable battery means you won't have a built in battery that dies and can't be replaced when it gets to the end of its service life.
