“Does this microphone include a on/off switch and is it battery powered like other Lavalier Microphones. The picture in the description doesn't show the cable length. Will this work with the RODE Wireless Go wireless microphone system?”

This microphone does not have an On/Off switch. There isn't a way to place batteries inside it. However, this microphone does require power for it to work by receiving power from the device it is connected to. Like all microphones you must know how much power it desires because many powered devices have different volt setting that regulate how many volts you can send in order for it to be powered. Too many volts can easily destroy the microphone. This microphone requires very little power to perform. This microphone requires what is called “Plugin Power” and not necessarily Phantom Power which are two separate things. Phantom Power could be 12V, 24V, or 48V. Either of those voltages would be more than enough to kill this microphone. If you are planning to use an XLR adapter with this microphone you will need to purchase a Rode VXLR + if the device’s microphone input power is 12 Volts or higher! The adapter must be the + version and not the Rode VXLR without the “+”. The VXLR + will help drop down 12 voltage to a lower voltage suitable for this microphone. In a nutshell, look up the device you plan to connect this mic to and see what its microphone input voltage settings are. Without protection, 12 Volts will kill this microphone. This is an awesome microphone but in inexperienced hands you will never make one recording with it if you over power it the first time you plug it in. This is true with all microphones not just this one.
