Does this work properly for hooking up say an iPod to a powered speaker? Currently the cable I use mutes the vocals.

I used it strictly to convert an XLR micrphone cable to s standard 1/4 inch plug that connects to an amplifier. It doesn't seem like it would lend itself to an iPod.

I do not know that answer. I bought it to plug my microphone into my headphone jack of my laptop but I bought the wrong piece. It is the same size as my micropohone cable (which plugs into my amp) i ordered another piece and haven't received it after a month. I think we should both go to best buy, media play, guitar center or radio shack instead and get the right piece. :) Good luck

I plugged it into an iPod and it works well, but it's not a dual speaker - so if you have a song that bounces between two speakers (left to right) you will lose part of the song. Like, there is a Beatles song where I lose almost all the background sound, but the singing is clear.

It can work with auxiliar cable, but definitely it works better sound better with Iphone or ipod

No. While the connectors might do what you want in theory, the cable is not speaker cable. You want something specifically designed to work with amplifiers and speakers.

In looking at your question once more, would have to say this device is intended for wireless microphone input to a powered PA, not transmission of audio to speakers. Suggest looking for wireless speaker transmitter devices.

This will work, as long as you have an audio out jack for headphones or computer speakers. All PCs and My new iMAC have all had this audio out jack. I use my iPad and iPhone with this cable to my PA system all the time. I have never used a PC only because they are too big and difficult to move around to my PA system.

NO ... this is a speaker wire and not intended as an instrument cable it is NOT SHIELDED ... it will hum if you try to use it on a keyboard or guitar ...

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

I cannot say for certain. The main disadvantage of this cable seems to be if power is needed from the iPod for the connection to work, like with a bluetooth device that plugs into your iPod connector. If you just need the audio then it may work.

I have connected this unit with an electric guitar with a 1/4 inch to mini adapter and it does work. It is a $17 unit and the one I have works well for both vocal and guitar. I also have it running through a tube preamp.

I believe you can use the input/thru XLR on this to pass back to an amp that powers the passive speakers. But this will NOT power your passives, if that's the question.

Yes, because it takes more power to push sound out of speakers than it takes for headphones. Put another way the speaker has it's own amplifier which requires power. It is a great add on for my ipod and I can listen to audio books while driving.

It has a "3/4 jack input, and anything that is plugged through it may be amplified. It doesn't have a spot for the standardized mic cable but they do sell cables that can hook a mic to "3/4. I'm not sure if it would sound as good since that's not the standard they use, but I'd have no way of knowing or guessing.

I've never try this cable for connecting speaker..but I used this cable for microphone input for kraoke system..

not an expert here, but I do own this product. If you are outputting from a computer and you have an adapter that splits from the mono jack into regular + and - speaker cables yes. BUT this is not an amplifier, and if your computer doesnt have a way to boost the signal like a pre-amp then I dont think it will work like you want. You lose some power from the source through the splitter. I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable people would ring in, but look at the inputs on the picture to get a better idea.

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.

I'm assuming you mean that you want to use this cable to chain two amplified speakers together. If that's not correct, please clarify and I'll alter my response. But, in my opinion, I'm not sure if this configuration will work. I would assume that your speakers have a female XLR for the input. Due to that fact, I'm not sure if this would work if you were attempting to daisy chain the speakers in line. However, if you were trying to run two separate lines from a single output of a soundboard (assuming it was a mono output or you are running two left or right channel speakers for some reason), this should work. The point being, the input signal into this cable should be the female end, and the output signal should be coming out of the two male ends.
