Is it an actual microphone, amplifies the voice? Thanks!

Yes. It works like an actual microphone, and it also detaches and has music kids can sing along to as well.

Yes, it is an actual microphone. We bought it as a gift for our three year old grandson. He uses it to perform songs for the family.

Honestly. I have no idea. The only thing I can say is that for the price, is this a very good microphone and well constructed.

No, it's a condenser, but it's a standard mic that requires a microphone amplifier, balanced input and a 48V power supply

Yes, it has a microphone, but not a particularly good one. There is very little noise cancellation and really seems to be desiged for a brief conversation, say for taking a call during a workout.

This mic is not powered. It actually won't work on any thing that requires a powered mic. I didn't find it to be all that useful for my purposes.

No it does not. I do not recommend this microphone. The microphone has no volume... you can not hear it without putting the speaker against your ear. You can't hear the programmed songs or the voice recordings and it does not amplify the voice. It was a disappointing Christmas gift for my little musician.

It does have a built in microphone but I'm telling ya this is not what you wanna buy. It is NOT worth 150$ at all. I would've wished I bought something else

I have found that this device is a simple amplified microphone. The only adjustment is the volume control. Even the parabolic design does not seem to have any directionality as sounds emanating from behind you are also amplified. It's fun to listen to birds and night sounds, but the device is not a true scientific instrument.

Yes I'm pretty sure it has a microphone. I don't know how good it works I've never tried it. You could always hook a better Mic into the microphone jack

The unit comes with a mic and it sounds good at maximum volume. I'm very pleased with this voice amp.

Yes but this mic didn't work at all for me. No one could hear me unless I was right next to the mic and even then it was very faint. I DO NOT recommend this.

This probably is not amplified, although you do have to go thru an amplifier or possibly a Karoke machine.I am very unfamiliar with an amplified microphone, really don't think there is such a thing.

Of course not. I personally enjoy using this while I sing in the mirror. The mic looks great in my hands, not too large and not too small. I have also used this mic while lip-syncing to some of my favorite top 40 hits during performances for my friends. The mic looks real, of course, because it is real, and my friends can never tell that I am not actually singing. Hope this helps!

It's an "electret condenser" mic, which means it uses an internal battery and at much lower voltage than you'd get through phantom powering. That doesn't mean the audio quality is any less. But yes, it does lack an XLR output, and the output is unbalanced stereo on a mini plug.

I've only tried a little bit of recording with it (for testing), but the quality when I played back the recording I made with it was good enough that my Dad thought I was just singing the same line over again. I can't say for sure that it is as good as a $100+ microphone, but I am pleased with the quality so far, and I'd be surprised if there is anything much better.I should note, however, that I have not yet tested it with multiple singers and instruments.

Yes it is! As long as she speaks closely to the microphone itself it will pick up her voice clearly. I made this mistake a few times when I was using the microphone for a conference webinar.

No...its sound activated through a microphone that picks up the sound from another source (i.e. stereo)
