Do I need to purchase a separate cable/peripheral/ in order to connect it to a Mac Mini? Would it work with the computer speakers once connected?

it's keyboard+power cord only, so u need a cable. it's got 1/4" left+right channels out, so, depends on the line-in to your mac mini. mine worked with my laptop when i got 1/4" left+right to stereo mini cable. also you can cheat and use the stereo mini headphone out. pc speakers play fine but they better be decent to great, otherwise you'll get more out of it using headphones. it's a truly dynamic keyboard & sound, just got thru playing mine for the night :)

You have to go under your control panel (can't remember what it's called on a mac, but it's your system preferences/options) and set it to use your usb speakers instead of your macbook speakers. I have the same issue with the headphones and with the HDMI port when I hook it up to my tv.

If you have an HDMI out - then yes directly. You have a DisplayPort/Thunderbolt - then get a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter - then you can connect it, this is how I connected my parents mac mini to their HD TV. Sound is separate in this case.If you are also looking for sound to travel - The best route may be use an AppleTV and send your display to the AppleTV.

Our Mac Mini that we use as our media server has an HDMI output on the computer. Just connect that to one of the HDMI inputs on your TV. HDMI carries both the video and the audio streams so you usually don't need a separate audio cable. If you are using an older PC, you need an adapter to adapt the video output on the computer to HDMI before you can connect the computer to the TV. These adapters are readily available on Amazon.

Yes, as long as you have a mini dvi port (macbook 4,1 should have)You will also need the hdmi cable of course, and remember that this port does not transmit audio, so you will need a solution for audio as well (audio will still come from either macbook speakers, or from the headphone port)

Cable should come with the mini speakers. You should be use for all devices, Ipod, Smartphone, Computers. We used for all these items. Hope this is helpful

Not sure...if you are talking about going from one computer/device to the Mac, then you would just need something like Audacity on the MacBook and a cord from a sound output on the one computer/device and the other end connected to the imic, seems like it should work.

i know the tv would need a usb input on it... the speakers come with a little blue tooth part that needs to go into the device u are using to make a connection.... there is also an option to connect from speaker to tv with a headphone style jack (this would not be cordless though) i use it with my imac

A 2x rca cable to 3.5 mm plugged in to the macs headphone jack should work.

The mini display output on a mac does not convey audio. you have to either use bluetooth or the headphone jack for that.

If you are outputting via hdmi from a Mac or pc it is perfectly compatible, even sound out over hdmi, just plug your speakers into the 3.5mm port on it. I use it with both my Lenovo laptop and Mac mini. I will warn you however a USB connection to your laptop is needed for touch screen support and that only works with windows as of this moment.

Does it connect via Bluetooth? How about direct connection with a cable? I'm not a Mac user. Good luck.

yes no worries, you will need to get a Moshi cable (ebay) so that it connects your mac to an HDMI and because this is a converter, you will need to patch the sound over, either by connecting a audio wire or doing it over blutooth.

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

Nope--you're good to go! I've had my speakers for several months now & have been using them w/my MacBook Pro. They're great!!

I don't use Mac; but my HP Pavilion required a usb Bluetooth dongle. As long as I left it in and the speakers 'on,' the pairing was automatic. now I have a VAIO with bluetooth built in. As long as I don't turn the speaker itself off, it pairs on its own. I would suspect it would be the same for you.

Yes you do need some kind of audio interface that has 1/4 inch or RCA outputs. Then the device should have either FireWire or USB...you may need a FireWire to thunderbolt cable because the new Mac may not have FireWire. Hope this helps
