Will this work to connect an SL-814, Digital Sound Level Meter, to an Acer Aspire One Netbook running Win 8.1? Also to an ACER desk top? Allan

Do you have an RS-232 plug on your PC's? If not, I don't think so. It looks like a USB plug on the SL-814......why not USB to USB to connect to PC's?

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Hello Allan,Thank you for showing interest in our products. This is hard to say if the serial adapter will work. It seems like you have an older version of the SL-814 since the newer ones have USB ports built in. I can foresee problems with the legacy software and not with the adapter itself. In this case, the sound meter will only work with legacy PCs that have built in COM ports and that are Windows XP and older.

I use the Manhattan to connect the USB on my Dell Laptop to the HDMI on my Sony HDTV to get picture and sound. I can't see why it wouldn't work with your Toshiba Netbook. Malcolmm127

I tried it on an Aspire laptop. It did not work, but crashed my computer. The tech support could not help me. so I sent it back. Get a 3.0 USB card for your computer if you can.

You can go to Premiertek.com and the site will tell you what this is compatable with. I have Windows so I can't give you first hand knowledge.

It works at the hardware level. Windows 8 will see whatever is plugged into it as USB devices.

Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough on that topic to respond, but perhaps someone at a Best Buy or such could help with that. I used it for my Dell laptop, if that's of any help at all.

I have a Sony Vaio Pro 13 with no ethernet jack. I purchased this and it was very easy to use and straight forward. I run Windows 8.1, and this adapter was completely plug-n-play. No need to download drivers or anything like that, Windows was able to install everything itself.It should work the same way on your Acer, as long as you're running Window 8 that came with your laptop. Although I suspect it will work great on Windows 7 too.Hope this helps!

Not sure, I have an Acer laptop. Works great and yes the mic can work either way.

The left side of the Acer Aspire One 722 has a USB 2.0 port, a 100Mbit Wired Ethernet port, VGA port, HDMI connector, and the power connector, as well as the exhaust vent. Located on the right side are the headphone and microphone jacks, a multi-card reader, a Kensington lock and two more USB 2.0 ports. The netbook also features Wi-Fi 802.11 n and Bluetooth 3.0 wireless connectivity. There is no 3.0 USB port.

I used this with an ASUS netbook and it worked fine. Just note that it only works with CDs and not DVDs.

I tested the Kensington USB Adapter on a Laptop with USB 2.0 only and the device worked perfectly. I used a USB driver from http://www.displaylink.com/support/downloads.php, which I also needed to get the device to display after I upgraded my Microsoft Surface to Windows 8.1

I have used this device on different brands of netbooks and laptops and I have had no problems .I do agree with the previous reply that for additional ports you can use a USB hub

I just tried it and it works without any problem with Win 8.1 on my Acer laptop.

I had no problems connecting to this device with my laptop using Windows 8.1. Pretty easy actually. I just had to set it as a display device in Windows and it connected great.

This adapter is to convert an XLR Mic/Instrument cable for use in a standard 1/4 inch input receptacle. If your computer has a 1/4 inch input it will work
