amplifier: Do you need an amplifier to use this microphone?

What do you want to do with the microphone? You do not need an amplifier for this microphone to work, only a recording device or another piece of equipment to play back the signal from the microphone.

short answer, no, and yes, but don't, especially if the lav mics need phantom power. in general, Y's are a bad idea when it comes to preamps of any sort.

If you are dead set on using these microphones, you would need to acquire one or more microphone preamps to amplify the signal. Honestly I don't know even then if they'll work, these microphones are extremely passive.

You need to buy a speaker system. You will not need an amplifier if you get a powered speaker.

You need to plug the mic into an amplifier. This is NOT A TOY! I use these in my recording studio. Look for "Mr. Mic" if you want a toy microphone for your kids. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Peerless-Performer-Microphone/20932567

You will need an external audio device with an XLR input and phantom power. This is a standard microphone with a standard XLR connector, no USB connection.

Absolutely! You'll need the right adapters which could be pricey. I think you might be more satisfied with a combination headphone microphone setup which would need no adapters. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

no there is no build in amp the amp is only for "mic input" you need to add external power amp to received amplification

No its only a speaker selector not an amplifier. There are a lot of options for what you need though. Search ipod speaker or something similar.

You absolutely do need a preamp for this particular microphone. I did not know this when I bought mine and had to acquire a couple to figure out what worked well. This microphone needs around 50db gain from a high-quality preamp to get a usable sound out of it, but if you can get that sound then it's amazing.

No. You will need a preamp for the NT1-A or really any condenser microphone.

We had to buy an adaptor but we had an amplifier. We had someone at a local music store help us. They also told us it is a very strong microphone. More for studio use. But if you have the amp and adapter it should work.

Two different things but in a nutshell you can use pre-amps for ALL mics including condenser mics. You require phantom power for the Condensers only.

An amp isn't necessary, however I have tried a friends DAC/AMP and it did sound better than my onboard audio on my computer, but that's the DAC more than the amp.

You'll also need a small amplifier to boost the signal into the computer. I ordered the same microphone for my daughter and added the Alctron PS100 power supply (about $50). It works well.

Yes, you can pick up the microphone without using the headset. I would go with another make of voice amplifier, though. This one wasn't very sensitive in the mic.

Good Idea But you need a PreAmplifier ahead. looks before a NE 5532 Stereo preAmplifier, The Preamplifier is very necessary. ( all Kind of microphones needs to be Pre-amplified before to be Amplified ) then you can put this mini 5v Amplifier to increase volume. So you can find it with the same seller. good luck.
