do i need to plug it into a wall, or does it not need an additional power source?

You can plug it into the wall but you would need a adapter part like the one that you use for your phone charger. The speakers come with a usb cord so that you can plug them into a computer for power, but if you plan on just plugging them into the wall like I did just use an old cell phone wall charger (the part the cord plugs into that is). Hope this helps!

No, it does not require a power cord. You have to wire it in to the existing connections.

No, you do not. It comes with a cord to plug into the wall socket for recharging.

Kind of. The USB cable coming out of the drive splits into two USB plugs. One for power and one for data. That means you don't need to have it plugged into the wall, but you will need two USB ports available.

Nope. If you are using it in the US, you don't need anything else. It plugs right into the wall and works well!

Although the user manual does not say that it needs a power source, it came with a USB cable. I was not sure why, later I noticed that the device has a mini USB port on the side. I had it connect to my Cable box that has a USB port. The device did not work properly (it kept flickering) without using USB cable. It works perfectly now.

The other answers are correct. This needs to be plugged in to a power source.

It requires auxilliary power. USB won't power it. But it comes with a power pack.

plug it in. nothing special required. Yes, the grid that it's mounted on has a chain that you use to mount to a wall. Very nice item.

We just plugged ours in, no problem. Getting it attached to the wall was the only work required.

unless you have one of those USB Back up battery for when you don't have electricity. You'd still need to plug it into a power source. Doesn't have a stand alone battery.

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.

It just plugs into the wall outlet. I hope that is helpful. Maybe I'm not understanding, let me know.

you plug it into a wall outlet and then into the computer with a usb cable. so the power does not come from the computer

Only one needs power, that would be the one that stays in the house. It needs (6) C cell batteries, I believe there is an external power supply for it, but I never used them. The batteries last quite a long time, depending on use of course. The wall unit outside needs no batteries. Hope this helps. I have in operation now many of these units, and they work just fine.

No power source is required.use the included usb cable to connect the hard drive to the computer.

I have it plugged into a standard wall outlet and a computer battery back up connected to it. Works great.
