does the microphone work only with batteries.

I seriously do not remember, I was so disappointed when I received it. I was not really expecting much, it was a gag gift for Christmas but It was a piece of junk and is sitting in my closet!

Yes it will work and it will need a battery. I always suggest opting for a zoom recorder mounted with a hotshoe adapter as opposed to this mic, it is just really poor audio quality. Good luck!

No, it does NOT. It only works with 1.5V button batteries, and NOT with 3V button batteries.

Yes. If you just turn it on and do not push any of the "Song" buttons there is no music. It works like a simple microphone.

Yes it does. You can even use the cord when your battery is not charged. You can also use the Bluetooth feature when you are using the 1/8th jack. However, the aux cord does not work with the microphone on the headphones.

I actually have not used the speaker with just the batteries on. I have been using it plugged in all the time.I am now curious to see if that happens if I tried it with just the batteries. It could a power saving mode.

Yes. I've tested the camera using the wall outlet and no batteries....all functions work.

It does not rock with batteries...only manually. The batteries are for the music/light box.

I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence here but are the batteries put in properly? please remember that the microphones also need to be off during charging

Yes it does, two of the inputs supply phantom power. I currently use it for a phantom powered mic. :D

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.

Yes, but the hot shoe will not power or trigger this mic. You will need batteries.

Yes, the drill does work with batteries. AA if I recall correctly. Our grandson plays with this toy so often that we are very glad we bought it! He was 2 when he got it, now is 3 and still plays with that toy every other day.

You are right. Usually Amazon do not include full specs or clear explanations about what they sell. Just opinions. I have this mic, use 9 volts batteries and the mic (multidirectional good for speech in a silent place, not good in a noisy environment) it's included.

Not really but it does makes squeaky/feedback sounds even as soon as batteries are in
