Does this unit have to be powered on to listen to speakers or if you don't want any speaker/source changes can it be off and still feed speakers?

Hello there this is a pasive speakers. Not power supply need it. The more important think is rhe maximun power level of your amplifier. I use for surround and the performance is great. Regards from Spain.

No, it does not. What I do when I have it in use is switch to the AUX input when I want to make sure it stays quiet. It is powered by a wall wart, so you could plug it into whatever switches the rest of your system on and off. Or not worry about it. It runs very cool and doesn't draw that much power.

If your receiver is powering the speaker zones, then I would say connect it to " speaker out" on the receiver.

Yes you do. It s a component and needs to be connected to a tuner/amplifier and then to speakers. It can be used as a stand alone unit if you use only earphones to listen to it. It has separate controls just for this funtion.

No problem, I leave mine on all time. Only distraction is the light on the sub woofer stays on all the time and lights up the room at night. I have had then unit for a year

You have to push the button to turn on the power .. The units can connect to eachother as well. There are no external speakers , you have to use car stereo or headphones .. I am pleased with the quality .. The headrest isn't the best but it doesn't look bad

Yes. Set the speaker volume then use your computer output volume. They even power down when you shut the computer off.

No. You either need to output to powered speakers, or feed this pre-amp into a power amplifier (that in turn will drive unpowered speakers). This is just a mixer and pre-amp. (And a fine one for the money, IMO. I've been very happy with my purchase.)

The speakers and the transmitter all have to be plugged in. Definitely worth it tho!!!!

My unit turns off after a period of idle (no streaming). It never turns off if I'm actively streaming audio.

This is not a powered mixer. You could hook up but why? Your receiver can power and adjust your passive speakers. If you want to full effect of this mixer, you need powered speakers.

I believe it must be plugged in. The speakers do not "fit" into the sides of the main unit either.

No the speakers need their own power source for it to work when it is docked.

No. The device automatically changes source when a device connected to that input is powered on.

It is NOT powered but there is a powered model available. My only problem with a powered speaker is that if the internal amp is broken, the speaker is unusable and can NOT be equalized like an external amp with an electric equalizer.
