This microphone use Bateries?

No, not batteries. The mic does have a built-in preamp which requires power, but that is supplied by either the mixer through Phantom Power, or through an external, separate Phantom supply. Great mic and great value btw. I have a few of them in use.

Does this come with a rubber vibration/sound absorbing base?

No it does not. We ordered the Shure CVD-B XLR Desktop Base, 12-Inch Cable (Black) to use with this microphone. The XLR desktop base does have a rubber vibration absorbing finish on the bottom.

Why does this say it requires lithium ion batteries? I thought it used phantom?

It does use phantom power. The desktop base does not contain any power and does not have an on/off switch. I have seen other vendor bases sold separately that do contain an on/off switch. Perhaps one of these bases may utilize lithium ion batteries for some purpose.

What size hole would you need to drill to run a cable through the podium if using the included mount?

I believe I used an 1” to 1-1/4” hole. You need enough room to plug it into the XLR cord connector.
