When I tried to plug the product in my amp a couple days ago, it did not work, no sound was coming from the sound speaker. Does it need a battery?

Same issue here. I'm hoping it's defective, as opposed to me being super dumb :) Trying to play some Rocksmith...

No, it does not need a battery. I did not put a battery in mine and it worked fine.

No,the pickup dosent need a battery.make sure the port you plug into is the right one.if you can test it with a microphone.my pickup works great and see no reason why yours shouldn't.let me know.

No, we didn't put one in, in any case. We connected ours to our media center speakers (5.1 system) and it worked out right away. We did have to get one of those banana plug connector things that connect 2 male banana plugs (sorry I'm the wife, not the tech person) to be able to connect it to the system. We use it with the xbox 360 console for Rocksmith. Not sure if any of this info helps :-/

Well, it doesn't "need" one, but if you want to use the onboard Fishman pickup system, you will need a battery to run the pickup and preamp. Inside the sound hole there is a battery compartment. - Andy

Yes. Plug it into a USB port. USB power will drive the speaker and charge the battery at the same time. (It comes with a cable that attaches to the speaker on one end, and to both a USB and a phono jack on the other.)

Test the battery first, if it is low in AMP then this should fix the problem. Sometime, a loose wire or bad connectors can cause the issue...

It does not contain a battery at all so never is charged. It must be plugged into the 12V socket to run. It will not drain your car battery if left plugged in while the vehicle is turned off. You simply plug one end into the 12V socket and the other end (1/8" jack) into your audio device. Then you tune and it works.

I don't think so. I have mine plugged directly in the sound card and it dies not need an amp. I have to turn it down! It may have an amp built in. (it sounds like it). You can still plug it in to powered speakers and it works great there too. It's a great buy!

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.

Mine does not make any sound at all, how ever when I first got it and plugged it in , i checked all of the adjustable settings and they were right on. I left my two way radio plugged in for about a week on six volt, took it out one day and did not get one hour of operating time, the battery was low.When I got home I checked the voltage again, my six volt now only puts out three volts. I have to switch it all the way up to twelve volts to get seven volts. I would not buy another one of this brand. Maybe just bad luck I don't know. Dave

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

You will have to run the power wire (big fatone) to the amp from your battery. It took me a good 30 to 45 min to install. Had to run a smaller wire to fuse box to turn amp on. I hide the wires under the floor side pannel. U will also need to find and hook up to the speakers wire .hope this helped

This needs to be plugged in to an amplifier. It does not have an amplifier built in.

I would check to make sure that there is a 9-volt battery in your guitar (by the equalizer). If there is, I would check to make sure that it is good. If not replace it and then it should start working through your amp.

Hello There. The battery powers the active preamp system. You only need the battery if you're plugging the Uke into an amplifier. Thanks! ~Todd, The Music Farm

I was also under the impression there was a battery. NO, it will not work without being plugged in. The description of the product is poorly written. I means that you can plug in and charge the internal battery of the device (MP3 player, cell phone Ipod, etc.) you are using

We never had to buy a battery. Sorry. You might trying asking Batteries Plus if you have one in the area. Otherwise a music store that sells it would be able to tell you.

No batteries, just need a cable that plugs into the foot switch (you can change the length as your situation requires) and then plug the other into your amp, the amp powers it.

Without battery on guitar that's not gonna take a sound out on amp. Put a charged battery on guitar and then connect it with amp, be sure the battery is new! And the tunner should be turnd off. Bb
