No It can only work withthe battery However it can be hard wired to be wireless from the clip belt... So no cable. But that means additional cost for a receiver ... And I've yet to know anyone whose tried this But contact Bruce Bartlett .. Great person to deal with and quick with email response

Having owned the audio technica and a silmiliar AKG product the Bartlett comes up trumps for a truer tone and more balanced frequency response... Less problematic with feedback and much higher output...

Hi gerundino I think the pro 70 is a better looking unit ...solid and well made And works well at low volumes ... The frustrating thing we found with it was the low end feedback in a performance environment...also didn't seem to bring out the sound of the guitar used.. Had its own sound regardless of the instrument Feedback before gain ratio ...etc The Bartlett clips on the inside of the sound hole as opposed to the outside... Subtle difference of placement...but means a lot in performance. And the gain output Is really noticeable between the two...also the mid range tones are beautifully balanced for the price They both fall in a silmiliar price range...to me the Bartlett is a great mic of its type Another option is the mini flex mic system Two condenser microphones that work out of phase with each other thus eliminating bottom end feedback... I have installed in my cheaper guitar but does involve drilling an end pin jack... They have a flamenco model which attaches to the outside but it's damn ugly... Dpa Microphones guess is the premium option but very pricey All in all I would prefer a nuemann km 184 over anything else...just not always practical The link is Jason McGuire ( a good friend of Fred Sanford ...where is he of late ?) testing the Bartlett and his review.http://youtu.be/QRoQAte9scY

The baggs certainly helps I used the same set up through a aer for about a year What I think is the marked difference is the midrange Even with the roll off it still felt unbalanced along the mid range... That cutting tone that goes with flamenco guitars There are some specs that came with the mic but I've lost those some time ago A considerable amount taken out of the bass response and putmore into the lower and high mids... My friend still has my pro 70 so could try some sort of comparison and upload Just not sure the recording medium will typify what happens live I remember paying $180 au for the pro70 and $220 for the Bartlett I think the baggs was around $350au Sold the baggs and gave the pro70 to a friend You do get a slight 'boxy' tone placing the mic inside the guitar Pretty easy to eq depending on the sound reinforcement used... There's a lot of midrange to play around with No real need for a pre amp unless more for di options The other factor is the Bartlett sounds best at the top of the sound hole..,ie bass side... Where the pro 70 tends to placed treble side...

RE: Jason McGuires Bartlett mic set up (in reply to Blondie#2)

We saw Jason's guitar last August when he came to Australia From what I recall the battery was connected as part of the end pin jack on the inside of the guitar Similar Idea to the mini flex system I'm pretty sure this was how it was set up The unit used to be listed on the Bartlett website as the internal system To change battery required the jack to be unthreaded and removing from the inside of the guitar Doesn't seem to be listed anymore.,,
