Hi, I won't have my PC with me; can I just power up & plug in external speaker? If so,what speaker(s) will connect the easiest?

This is just MIDI controller to trigger/control other MIDI devices. There is no built-in (stored) sound onboard. Yes you can power up with optional power adaptor, but you will need other sound module to produce sound. Therefore, there is no speaker connector ports on it.

No. This is just a controller. You must have a slave sounds module or a computer with some sort of keyboard software. I just us mine as a controller using midi cables to interface with other keyboards with sounds modules like Roland VR09 or Korg Triton. I also use mine to recorded midi parts into a software sequencer. My sequencer digital recording software is Cakewalk Sonar X2. So my answer is no.

It won't do anything. It needs some sort of program running to make noise. MIDI controllers like this are just buttons in the shape of a keyboard that tell your computer what to do. There are some free plugins/programs you could can use for piano sounds or synths. I use Alicia's Key's by Native Instruments, but that costs money (but it's worth it imo). You can use a laptop or even a tablet with the right adapters if you have those.In short, the keyboard itself doesn't make any noise without other software.

From a computer yes from a cell phone no, a blue tooth speaker will better fit your needs.

Appreciate the feedback. I'm looking to replace the Harmon/Kardon speakers that I originally attached to my Dell laptop, but the speaker jack has quit working (plugging/unplugging) so I am considering a wireless or USB connected alternative.

You can still plug it into your computer's audio port the old fashioned way. Plus you can transmit to it from your phone or other Bluetooth friendly device. It's not a very portable setup in the first place, the satellite speakers are still tethered to the sub.

Nice Speaker, you can use bluetooth or you can use whichever you like, I often use them both, buy another sd card. load music and you are on, or you can bluetooth your phone, tablet or laptop.

The speaker (which is excellent and small!) just plugs into the computer with a USB (included)

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.

The turntable plugs into your computers USB and the sound would come out of your normal PC speakers. You can hook external speakers to the unit itself but don't need to.

I'm not a computer tech but my experience is that I purchased this Syba USB Sound Card because my internal sound card stopped working. I'm remembering, I think, that I still had to have speakers. So you can plug anywhere and use existing speakers... but I'm not sure. You should email the Syba mfg.

Starting with the last question, the speaker battery is charged through USB so it has to be connected to a PC or laptop or any device with a USB outlet. I'm not too clear with the first question but one thing is sure, the speaker produces sound loud enough. I use the speaker in my Gym which is about 20 meters by 20 meters and can hear sound clearly from every corner of the gym.

You don't need anything if your laptop (or any other device) has Bluetooth. If it doesn't, you'd need a bluetooth adapter plugged into an available USB port. For the latter, the software/drivers should ship with, or, more often, be downloadable from the adapter manufacturer. DBests are wonderful speakers, and after you pair them the first time, they'll connect automatically and immediately whenever you turn the speakers on while you're playing music.

Hi! Speaker is not the selling point...just display. You may want to get an external speaker wired or bluetooth.

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

The speaker itself requires power and can be plugged into a Dell monitor "speaker power" output. Therefore it can be self contained and NOT require a PC. That is correct. Here is a use case: You have a Dell 2007FP monitor that you hook the speaker on, plus the audio out from the monitor into the speaker, plus the power plus from the speaker into the speaker power port on the monitor. Now you can use an xbox, wii, PS3/4, etc feeding the monitor itself via HDMI which gives both audio and video. The video goes to the monitor and the audio gets passed down to the add-on speaker. No PC required. I do this all the time as another input and the SOLE reason I purchased this speaker.

You can connect these speakers to a PC the same manner you would connect an Ipod to these speakers. I currently have this running through my computer, and it's pretty good sound. I simply have a stereo to rca cable running from my PC to my receiver, plugged into any of it's audio ports (I used CD), and you are good to go.
