does this microphone have to be plugged into anything?

All microphones, except those at the end of a megaphone or bullhorn, need to be plugged into an amplifier (or preamp which is plugged into an amplifier) to which speakers are connected. The connection from the microphone to the amplifier may be by wire, or by wireless transmitter. For this particular microphone, the Nady SP-4C, the connection is by the included microphone cable.

No, when you plug in an external mic the external mic overrides the built in microphones

No, condensor microphones are needed to be powered by another source, like phantom power. There is a USB version of this product, but its more expensive

It plugs in to its own outlet. Plus it has a USB port in the back to charge your mic

This unit, without any additional equipment, has a single balance input. Thus, unless you are using a mixer, only a single microphone can be plugged in. For small venues, I use a Yamaha mixer with this unit so I can operate several mikes and instruments.

No I am sorry, this headset has to be plugged into your laptop or computer.

No, it does not have a microphone and the amplifier/transmitter needs to be plugged into 110v for power.

No. It is designed to be used with a wireless belt pack that powers the microphone.

Yes - you can use either a plugged in headset with a microphone in line OR one without a mike. Clever stuff!

We plugged it into the microphone jack on our computer. Then, you need a program to use the microphone for recording. We used a free program called Audacity.

Look in the user guide and see if the mic jack is powered or not. If it's powered then it will work. If not then you will need a mic with an internal power supply.

It needs to be plugged into some kind of amp like a karaoke machine or speaker. It cannot be plugged into a wall socket.

If you have a place to plug in headphones, yes. The microphone does not plug into a USB port. Rather, it plugs into the circular headphone audio jack.

No, it plugs directly into your PC or other device, acting as a conduit for your audio and mic.

All microphones require a cable to plug into the soundboard or other device. This is a MIC LEVEL XLR connection to your input. It does not require Phantom power like a condenser mic would.

From what I remember, it was only plugged into an electrical outlet ... it seemed to work like a cd player with a microphone.

According to my wife the answer is no, it must be plugged in. She loves it though.
