Hi, can I connect this to my laptop for karaoke? Can you add a subwoofer?

You will need the headphone adapter thing with red and white male to connect to laptop phone etc. I think you can't add on to the system.

If you look at the expanded view of the power head's inputs, you will see that you can plug in microphones (XLR or phone), guitar (phone) cords, A/V (RCA or phono) cords or mini "headphone out" cords. Like Havlyn said, you will need a mini to RCA adapter to use the heads stereo channel outs (3/4 or 5/6) with an external mp3 or laptop input, but there is also and aux in section that accepts a mini input directly (not recommended - less control). Televisions should connect directly using RCA cords. The output is unfortunately one stereo output using phone jacks, so to add speakers you would need speakers that can "daisy chain" (the provided speakers do not).

You can easily add a subwoofer to a system. There is a dedicated subwoofer out port.

Yes, I am also interested about attaching a subwoofer. Has anybody any news on this?

Yes, you can. This actually setup is mainly used for computers actually. My only advice to you is do not turn the bass all the way up and keep distance between the speakers, otherwise you will get a slight static feedback that's low but annoying.

Yes. You could connect it to the same receiver or amplifier your karaoke is hooked up.

There is an aux input on the back of the subwoofer. I think you could plug on there.

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

Yes, it can be used for karaoke, but only for sound, not video.Whether it will be an improvement depends on what you are using for sound now, but if you are using a laptop then this is likely better than anything built into the laptop itself.

No. You need an external tool for that like a karaoke machine or a pc to hook into your amp. (which you also need if you don't have, these are just speakers.)I see these kind of questions a lot, and I'm surprised no one really tries to make more casual audio gear. Seems like there's a market for it and it'd be nice to get some new faces into the discussions other than the crazy audiophiles who want to compare 1100 dollar speakers to 90 dollar ones

Yes, it's possible but you won't hear much. These speakers, and most others, are designed to be driven by a fair amount of audio as from a tuner or amplifier. The output from a laptop is designed for headphones or a small amp to drive, for instance, the speakers in an iPod dock. Power these speakers with sufficient drive and they'll let you hear stuff you didn't even know was there.... I love mine! Good luck, JC

You could hook it up via an RCA to XLR adapter im sure if you have a sub out channel. Buy you cannot connect it to a powered channel.

I think it requires a different cable. I plugged an auxiliary cable into it, and it would not play sound through my subwoffer.

I dont think theres a way to plug them to a laptop because they need wire from both ends or banana plugs. Mine are hooked to my receiver and I use the mirror feature on my macbook pro and it works fine. I would recommend you get an amp. These speakers are amazing for the price!!!!

If your laptop has a stereo 1/8" mic input, the mic should work with it. The audio quality of the mic is OK for the price, and adequate for voice (pod casts), but don't expect it to be "pro" quality, especially for music. The mic preamplifiers in your laptop will also have some influence on the audio quality. Generally speaking, most computers don't have great preamps, so they contribute a bit of background noise to the audio.

Your laptop probably does not have an audio input like many desktop PCs. Mine only has a headphones / speaker jack. You can plug it into any standard AV equipment with an RCA type plug so long as you have the additional cabling to reach it since the attached cables are only half a foot.
