What kind of input does this unit have? Is it possible to to plug an iphone or a computer right into this unit for use in an offce setting/

Inputs and outputs are strictly speaker wire connections. And it is not an amplifier, so it would not boost the power of a phone or mp3 player.

No, this speaker selector needs amplification. It only has speaker wire inputs and outputs. The purpose for this unit is to safely convert a stereo system from 2 speakers into 8 speakers without dropping the impedence of the speakers and blow the receiver.

This is not an amplifier. It takes the amplified sound and distributes it over speaker wire. so the inputs and outputs are just screw down terminals.

I do not have an iPhone, but I am not aware that they have input jacks. I use this adapter to connect my wired microphone to my desktop to allow the sound to be heard through both stereo channels.

There is an auxiliary jack on the front of it. Buy an auxiliary cable somewhere for a few dollars, and you absolutely can. I hook my iPhone to it all the time.

its a input where you can hook up a mp3 player or ipod. if you are buying this product from the same company i am be very careful. they tried to buy my review off of me. i wrote an honest review and because they had messed up with the shipping they offered me a discount but only if i changed my review. be careful, buyer beware!!!!!!!!!!

It only has the old RCA inputs. I don't have an iPhone so I don't know if you can output with RCA cords or not. This is an old model. Made in the 80s, so keep that in mind. But yeah, if you can interface your iPhone with RCA standard issue cords, it should work.

What kind a keyboard? A computer keyboard? Not directly to the unit. You can hook up a laptop or tablet.

The Aux input is just that, an auxiliary for sound, not words. However, if you have an Ipad there are apps that will allow you to use it as the karaoke screen and the Akai KS808 as the amplifier. BTW, we are very happy with the unit and like that the speakers are built in rather than seperate.

This unit does have USB input so it should be fairly easy to connect your computer. Instead of reading music files from your phone or thumb drive it would be taking the information directly from your computer. It should work just fine.

There's only an aux in -- no aux out, so the answer is no. If you go to the Philips site, the have a photo of the back of the unit and you'll see there's only an input for the power and an aux input. http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/DS8530_37/for-ipod-iphone-ipad

The quick start Guide only shows the speakers hooked up to a USB port on a computer. One diagram shows this setup plus another cable hooked up from one of the speakers to what looks like an iPhone. Not quite the answer you wanted.

It has an auxilliary input jack to allow input from other sources, but no headphone jack or audio out jack of any kind. You can view the owner's manual at this link: http://www.devicemanuals.com/pdfviewer/pdf-manual-389820.html

I think you would need this adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-iPhone-input-converter-regular/dp/B00545WG4O

My older SoundDock has an input on the back just above the power cord input. I've used it to hook iPhones, iPods and Sony MP3 players. I've even hooked a cable from my TV and/or computer and run it thru my SoundDock. I don't see why you couldn't hook it to your iPad.

there is no USB input, but the AUX Input will accept low level audio signals from other devices. If the device has a HEADPHONE OUT, it would likely play through the AUX input.

It as USB input, an older version iPod port. The only way I have been able to connect laptop, PC or iPad/newer version iphone or iPod is to use an AUDIO "Y" cable connected to headphone/speaker port on PC or other devices to R / L audio ports on back of Sony stereo. It works for me hope it suits your needs as well.

It has Aux input and comes with a cord. I tried using USB to my iPhone and music did not play through. However I was able to pause the music from the speakers using AUX.
