when you buy a pair, you will need two power outlets to power both right? and then how do you connect a pair to a laptop w/out an interface?

Yes, each monitor has it's own independent power cord. To connect them to my computer without a interface I purchased a splitter similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Seismic-Audio-Stereo-Splitter-Patch/dp/B0072JJYDQ/ref=sr_1_51?ie=UTF8&qid=1419619986&sr=8-51&keywords=trs+splitter. Works great. I hope this helps.

You need a power cord for each Eris E5 80 -Watt. They are sold seperatly so to use the xlr or quarter inch input you would require an interface. They have an RCA jack which you can use a RCA to Aux cable but the feed will not be balanced and you will have a great amount of white noise above the -3 DB range.

You can get an adapter cable that plugs into the headphone jack of your laptop with stereo RCA plugs on the other end. But the digital - to analogue converters built into most laptops are not very good, so for better sound you may want to invest in a separate d/a converter.

yes you need an outlet for each one. You will need some sort of interface. I recommend either Focusrite Scarlett series or the Presonus as well. they both sell sub $200 interfaces with 2-4 channels, which, depending on what you're doing, may be enough. keep in mind, these are reference monitors for recording, mixing, etc. If you're just listening to music then there are better options for that than these.

Yes, each monitor requires 120VAC, so two plugs. Then, each monitor has 3 inputs. XLR balance, TRS balanced, and an unbalanced 'RCA'. RCA is the typical I/O on stereo equipment. So, the simplest way to hook up to a laptop is to acquire a cord with the 1/8' stereo plug on one end (laptop) and two 'RCA' plugs (left & right) on the other. There are DAC's (i.e.. MusicStreamer II+) which will convert a higher quality signal from your laptop using the USB port and output that signal via 'RCA' ... hope this helps

I only bought one monitor and I do connect it to my laptop by aux. But Aldo ig you want you can buy an interface. Sorry I can not help you with first question.

Yes, each monitor has it's own independent power cord. To connect them to my computer without a interface I purchased a splitter similar to this Seismic Audio - 3.5 mm Stereo 1/8" to Dual Male XLR Splitter Patch Cable Works great. I hope this helps.

I suspect that you could plug one of the USB cable into an external power source. The question is, "which one"! I would suggest trying the plug on the end to your computer first, then the 2nd plug, (the one with the short lead), to the power source. However, if this does not work, then swap the 2..... One of the plugs is for power only, (no data line in that one)..... However, when all else fails, add a cheap, 2 or 4 port "active" hub to your computer, then plug a couple of your other USB devices to the HUB.... This can cost less than $20.00 This wireless adapter works so well, adding a small hub still makes this adapter the ONLY way to go wireless!

No you'll still need a cord to connect it to a power outlet. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Prong-Notebook-Power-Cord/dp/B000AV14OK

If you already have the outlet, can it be plugged in? I see one answer to plug in.

you need to add up all of your items in the computer to know what is needed. look at the original setup..it should have listed the power requirements for each item

The box has two outlets. One side is VGA and the other side has HDMI. I plug the VGA into my laptop, the other end of the VGA cord goes into the VGA plug on the box. Then the HDMI cable goes into the TV's HDMI and the other end of the cord goes into the HDMI plug on the box. The box also has an electrical adapter that is plugged into the box and the other end into an electrical outlet. Also, I plug speakers into the headphone jack on the laptop so that I can get better sound than out of the laptop speakers.

A power supply is not needed. Just plug in the 2 usb plugs to your computer. Power comes from the usb connections. If you don't have 2 usb connectors, try Radio Shack or Best Buy to match the plug needed.

You just use a standard USB connection. I honestly don't know the specifics, but I'm going to put these in my hallways and I'm putting an outlet with hi power usb outlets on it

I'm not sure....I still haven't figured out how to link them to my laptop...how did you do it?

Nope. This adapter has the second cord which has to be used in order to power the laptop via the wall outlet.

It requires phantom power so an interface is required. Either a small mixer which will provide the DC voltage that connects to your PC (via USB preferable) or just a phantom power insert box and an XLR to USB interface cable can make it work.

No you don't have to connect both. I connect one and it works great. You can plug both for security reasons.

Nope, its just electronics. Zero issues, but you wouldn't be able to power it (requires two outlets)

It comes with a double ended mini USB charger so you can charge both from same outlet. Or you can use standard mini USB cable.

Mine came with the 90 Watt power adapter and the power cord, although the same adapter and cord that I already had with the ThinkPad notebook would have also worked with the dock. These docks are no longer being made or sold by Lenovo, so they are either leftover old stock or refurbished, and are being provided by third-party sellers. Mine came from a different seller than the one Amazon is currently showing, so I think you need to contact the listed seller and ask them the question directly (if you click on the seller's name in Amazon's listing, it will take you to the seller's page where there is a "contact seller" link).

You can think of it as one input and 4 outputs. You can put your input into any of the plugs in the front and the other ones can be used as output. The thing on the side is the plug for power adapter.

Sorry. I have not done that. I would assume you would connect them to the laptop.
