Does it have enough current capacity to power a USB headphone/microphone or a wireless adapter for a mouse, since this hub is not externally powered?

I use it for my wireless mouse and for my external disc drive with no problems. Have not used it for headphones or microphones. Nice quality product and matches my MacAir as well.

I don't know. It was supposed to be used with a USB hub, and the hub didn't work well.

Hi Ron, My husband has used it more than I have. He says it does have a port to hook up an external microphone as well as the built in one. Hope this helps. It has worked well for the purpose we bought it for.

I am pretty sure It would need an adapter. This is more for desktop or laptop use where you plug in the headphones and microphone seperatly.

Yes. However it depends on the device you are plugging in. If the device is BUS powered, then you will need this HUB to be plugged in a power source as it will need to send power to the bus powered device (for example flash drives or USB powered Mics) If the device has its own source of power (like a camera or a powered external hard drive) then you do not need to plug the HUB into a power source and can serve as a pass through.

It has no 'amps' per se. This is a passive,not powered, hub so it will be able to source no more total current that the USB port that it is connected to.

The whole unit is USB powered, rated draw of 480 mA. The headphone/monitor output is just for headphones (47 ohm output inpedance). Amplification would be needed for multiple headphones or other monitoring.

Yes you sure can however be advised that I think you should use a powered USB hub... I have a wireless mouse and keyboard, a gigabit wired network adapter, and I have hooked up external drives to it... No issues... However one issue I have noticed: if you leave this thing unplugged for too long it forgets itself and you have to perform a reset up of all your stuff.. On the flip side if you leave it plugged in all the time it is frozen and you have to reset it.. I'm thinking about putting a timed outlet controller on it so it resets daily to prevent that..

AC adapter is not included in the package. You can find a matching AC adapter easily at local electronics retailers such as Radio Shack. USB ports in typical USB hub provides 500mA of power only. It is ideal for low-power USB devices such as flash drives, mice and keyboard. USB Hub is not ideal to charge devices such as smartphone (1A minimum power requirement) or tablet (2.1A minimum power requirement).

Sorry, I have no knowledge or experience with either of these devices. It works fine with ordinary wired USB keyboards and mice.

I'm running it wireless, but it can run USB as well. just select that when you run the set up.

The power source comes from the computer once you conect the jacks from the hub. Once they are conected then you can plug your headphones and speakers into the hub. Your speakers will no doubt require a dedicated power source be it batterys, USB or other.

Unfortunately, no. This product is intended to provide power to microphones that require an external power supply. However, I've had great success going from mic to this SMPS-2X to the Lexicon Alpha audio interface (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HVXMNE) and into the computer.

Your microphone uses generic phantom power. Actually phantom voltage. The current draw of the mic is nearly zero and hence very low power. I use several different Audio Technical mics with phantom power and they work fine with this usb powered M-Audio adapter. It's a nice little unit that fits well in my laptop bag.

You should be able to plug anything into it that uses a USB plug. I have used this item since 2010 and am just purchasing this one as a spare. I absolutely love it. I have a wireless mouse and plug in the USB stick for the wireless mouse and it works perfectly. Go for it!!!

No clue...honestly, I haven't used this item since purchasing it. I would assume as long as the computer recognizes the wireless dongle whatever port its plugged into, it should work. But why you wouldn't prioritize a more local USB port to a mouse and use this device for more external type devices doesn't make sense.

When I tried to pull that much current through this hub... it shorted out, and destroyed every usb peripheral that was attached to it. I believe by the power ratings it might work... but i wouldnt risk it.
