the batteries make in spin and power the led lights. this is actually a very cool disco ball and it works great. I was very surprised.

It is supposed to be able to work from battery power, so that you can hang it anywhere without a power cord. But mine arrived without the battery option at all. When I questioned this, they said that the battery powered version was not being produced anymore, and they refunded my money without making me return the item.

The battery powered one is so you don't have to run a cord. That is what I wanted I kept getting one with a cord from them. The ball is really cool. You can set so it flashes to the beat or lights up and spins all the time.

There are no cords. the batteries make the lights blink and the ball turn. There is no sound or mic, or music.

The batteries make it spin and turn on the LED lights; there is no power cord - at least I didn't get one in the box.

Mine just runs on the battery-- I don't have a power cord. It spins and reflects colored lights.

I recently had to change my battery b/c I left the mic on over night accidently. I disconnected all of the bands that keep it suspended so I could have easier access to the front where the battery is. There is a groove for your finger to push the cover up and out, it took a lot more force than I wanted to be using on my new mic!

Mike must be buying the wrong batteries.I've had the remote for over a year now and have changed the batteries roughly 2-3 times. Few enough that I haven't really noticed it at all.I use this thing to watch TV, DVD's on my 360, etc... so it gets a fair amount of use.

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 uses 3 x AAA batteries. One for the microphone and two for the receiver. It does come with one set of batteries.

Well, it does have a mic input, but I don't think it's got phantom power (not sure about this but I've only seen phantom power with XLR connectors, not with the standard headphones connector), and you need it for your mic unless it's the usb version. If it's the XLR version then this won't be of any use for you since your mic won't work without the phantom power. I recommend you get a Mbox or anything similar.

The mic in the headset is used for noise cacellation. It also has a punch....if you want to hear the surround voices...you can tap on the right ear and the mic pics up the sound srtound you. It is mot connectong to the phone piece.Sound quality and noise cacellatoon is phenomenal. Need 2 aaa batteries for 50+hoursof enjoyment. Doesnt work without batteries.

This has one of those small mic jacks. ..looks like the size of a headphone jack. I haven't looked in a while tho, the battery's are out again and they are so expensive.

Yes it does. Another thing you may need to know. It needs a AA battery. You have to unscrew the mic and install a battery or it will not work.

Runs off power from the XLR cable. So the camera, or whatever its plugged into, will be powering the microphone.

Mine received with no instructions and didn't work either. i think it is the mic

On the left hand side (as you look at the radio) there is a jack for a power cord. I don't remember if the power cord came in the box or not. I never used it-just batteries. And they last a LONG time in mine. I hope that helps answer your question.

I am going to guess your mic is phantom powered? if so i would see if it says that in its description, I really am not sure otherwise

Just as the others said, comes with a nice little zipper bag for storage. Honestly I never know how much life is in the battery and I feel as though that's a flaw...however, it's one I can deal with. I change the battery after every few shoots just to be safe, and always keep a few on me, they're AAA's so it's no big deal. Hope this helps...the microphone is prettttttyyyy awesome btw.

I think they changed the cam somewhere in production. The one I received does not do that. It does say something when turned on and off, but thats it. When in playback mode, I turned the volume all the way down and it changed that voice too so now there's no voices.

I don't know exactly because mine does not do that. But I would check the batteries, sometime in electronics fluorescent lights can really be a pain. Or for that matter other electronic devices, try to isolate the mic's from all other electronics. Also a clear path to the antenna wouldn't hurt.Good luck I have mine for about 3 years now.Tony C

Are all controls turned down except the wireless volume? Is the battery in the transmitter fully charged? Are you unplugging the mic or actually turning the switch off? Is the other mic accidentally turned on when it should be off? Does the other mic work properly? Try walking about 50 feet away from the main unit with the lapel mic on. Does distance cause the buzzing? The only time I have heard buzzing is when the mic gets too close to the front of the speaker. If all else fails, find an expert who can diagnose it thoroughly or send it back for repair. The problem should be easy to diagnose with the proper tests (some of which I have listed above).
