can you connect a laptop to this amplifier? and if so how?

Yes, I do it all the time. You need to purchase a cord that has an 8mm (earphone jack) on one end and the two basic audio jacks (red and white) on the other end. This set-up sounds much better than a cord with an 8mm jack on end and a 1/4 inch jack on the other.

Yes, with the right cable an using one of he input channels. 1/8" male stereo to left/right RCA will do this, they sell them on Amazon...you can adjust that channel individually, if you are mixing tracks.

You need a cable with a 3.5mm stereo male plug at one end and two RCA male plugs at the other. The 3.5mm plug goes into the laptop's headphone jack. The RCA plugs will plug directly into the amplifier. Amazon sells this cable. By the way, the Yamaha is a great amp.
459751
Yes. You need to get a patch cord that goes between your computer (probably to the 3.5mm stereo headphones output) and the other end with two standard RCA connectors (right and left). This is how I connected my iPod to the amp.

You buy a split or dual RCA cable with a single mini connector. Most laptops have a place for earphones and that connection is a mini. This amp head has RCA connectors but you want the stereo sound so you need to use 2 RCA inputs. Assuming you have speakers connected to the amp head, you just turn up the volume on both the laptop and the amphead, and start your music playing on the laptop. Decide on the length of your cable but here's the one I bought for my system.

Hi. Besides your headphones (obviously), you'll need a 3.5mm male to male RCA (red and white) chord to connect the amp to your laptop. Get a quality chord. I had a terrible buzz when I first began using my amp because I was using a low quality chord, but a new good quality one did the trick. I hope this helps. I love the amp, BTW - very good purchase!

Unfortunately, that won't work. There are no USB input or output. You connect traditional speakers Left and Right to this amplifier

They're passive speakers so you'd need an amplifier between your computer and your speakers. I use an Onkyo 8255 receiver/amplifier, which my computer is connected to (laptop 1/8" jack into RCA jack using an adapter).

Not directly. You would need an adapter or interface to plug this XLR mic into your laptop. This is a "professional " mic. If you only need something for the laptop, get something designed for that purpose.

This comes with a P1 JACK, SO YES, you need an adapter.In fact, its better to have a DAC, not only a Amp to hear these on a laptop.I normally use a fiio or a hifiman to connext ro my laptop and hear these inea

Don't see why not. I've done it with a laptop and radio receiver and the sound is great!

Can I hook this up directly to computer speakers (e.g. the kind that have a 3.5mm plug and a built-in amplifier)?

Yes you can but you will nned a short cable to connect your laptop to the adapter.

No, sorry. this system does not have an auxiliary port that one could connect a laptop to unfortunately. I actually wish I had known this before purchasing it in college.

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

I checked. The only way to connect it is through the power jack and the "headphones" jack, which are pretty similar to the small headphones jack on a laptop or desktop computer. So I really don't think you can.

There is no aux input in this amp. But, if I remember well, you can play stuff from the computer if you connect it to the amp using the usb cable.

No, this amplifier has RCA inputs only. You may need an 3.5mm to RCA adapter.

This amplifier works great with PCs. I have my pc connected to mine. I could not get the USB input to work

You will need to connect audio between the laptop and whatever amp/speakers you require (even your laptop speakers might be usable.) In any case, you may likely need to change your audio settings on the laptop so HDMI audio is not in use. There may be some audio breakout boxes for HDMI cables, but for the price and addtional hardware involved, its not worth it. I've never used one.

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.
