Yes, I use rca jack to connect it to my Onkyo receiver and stream through my iphone

Yes, although you need an adapter to do so: an 1/8" stereo phone plug to twin (stereo) rca male plugs. This is a very common adapter you can get on Amazon or your local Radio Shack.There are quite a few bluetooth receivers that, with this adapter, you can use to transmit from your iphone/smartphone or bluetooth Mac to your home stereo or a powered speaker rig like you have. Of course, with the adapter, you can also just plug directly from your headphone jack to the RCA input & skip the bluetooth altogether.Good luck!

My experience is that the USB is only used to POWER the device, not to actually transfer music data. To hear the music you have to use the headphone port on the opposite side and plug THAT into a "line in" on the car stereo. If you don't have a "line in" on your stereo, this product is probably not for you. Cheers.

Yes, I've done it from my iPad with no problems. At most you just need change the output to "Stereo" so it uses all connected speakers.

You cannot send a hot signal into the speaker. If you have an aux out for a stereo signal, that will work just fine.... but no power lines going to the speakers!!

This is the opposite. You plug this into your hifi system (or amplifier) to receive audio from a device that can send audio via Bluetooth. It only receives and needs ac power. I use it to send spotify/pandora from my iPad or iPhone to my outside speakers.

The item I received did not work. It was originally disclosed that this would carry audio out and power the device at the same time, but the audio did not work. I tried this on 3 different mobile devices and 2 stereo systems. It may work for a computer connection, but did not work as described. (In theory though, itll be the same as a basic analog audio unless you can get the audio digitally from a "dock mode" setting on your phone" tablet. That's IF you can get it to work)

I don't think this will work. From my experience, both the headphone jack and the RCA jacks act as the same output.

No. This device was designed to deliver sound from a bluetooth SOURCE to a Wired speaker. What you need is the opposite so this isn't a solution for you. Cheers.

One reviewer said that it doesn't "sync" with a computer. A shame as I am looking for a good, portable speaker system for both my iphone and macbook. Anyone know of any?

The MC500 does not work with RCA plugs. It can play music from a SD card, USB drive and from MP3 players or smartphones with a 3.5mm phone jack.

Um, that's not really what it's for. You could use an adapter to run a line out into the input, but you'd lose one of the channels (it's not stereo) and it'd sound really muddy and distorted. I can imagine nobody who would enjoy listening to their iPod through this. This is a guitar amplifier and cabinet, designed to produce sound for an electric guitar. If you want something for a smartphone or PC, you want regular speakers. Look up "stereo system" or "home stereo" for that.

Pretty sure you can just use an RCA to 1/8" adapter to connect sound coming from a computer. Never tried it but since the E8's have RCA out, this solution seems reasonable.

Yes. They are NOT self powered speakers such as you would have when connecting to computer or iphone. They are traditional speaker that connects to a stereo or AV reciever. Of course you could buy an additional mini amp to use with them so could connect up a phone or midi source but that a whole other piece of equipment and topic.

I tried with my Mac , and I was not able to . No problems with my iPhone to Connect the speaker . I can't help you on this one .

You'd need the cheaper Sonos Connect, which has "RCA out" plugs. Those plugs can be connected to your powered PC speakers with a cheap RCA male to 3.5mm female adapter cable.

Yes, but use the line out or headphone jack. I don't think it's designed to work with a speaker input as the impedance and power level would be all wrong. I run mine off a computer and I do find the volume setting makes a huge difference. If I don't turn the volume most of the way up on the computer headphone jack the volume at the speakers is kind of quiet.

Never tried it, but as long as you have the proper adapter, these would not "know or care" what the source is. The transmitter plugs in to your device. However, if the output sound or output plug itself is not stereo, such as on some portable cassette players, you of course will not get stereo. The range depends of the obstacles and battery power, but I have gone out to my mailbox, a good 50 yards, and not lost the sound.
