do you need an audio interface to use this product?

I don't know exactly what you mean by an 'audio interface', but I can tell you that these speakers have line-level RCA, 1/4" and XLR inputs, all of which go to the built-in amp. That means you'll need to use an un-amplified output from your audio source. On most devices, this means Line Out. Headphone outs are amplified but it's low enough power that it won't damage anything (not ideal, though). I run straight out of my TV (RCA Out) into the speakers... the TV has options to send a line level signal or a volume adjusted signal. I use the volume adjusted (which is amplified) because it sucks having to get up from the couch, reach behind Speaker 1, adjust volume, reach behind Speaker 2, adjust volume, step back to make sure they're at the same level, adjust if not, go back to couch... repeat after commercial break because the show is quiet... yeah... just use the remote and deal with the slightly-more-noisy amplified signal. :)

The Rocket RP6G2 is a studio monitor, and, like all powered studio monitor has balanced audio inputs. So you need a computer audio card that has balanced audio outputs, such as the products of MOTU (Mark of the Unicorn) or Echo audio or M Audio. Balanced audio connections are inherently quieter than normal RCA audio types because of Common Mode rejection, which help the audio signal become immune to stray noises.Hope this helps.-jcRiver City MusicPortsmouth, Ohio

You definitely need a preamp and audio interface or an audio interface that includes at least one mic preamp. Also the preamp you use will need quite a bit of gain as this mic has a fairly low output level.

No, you just plug it in. You just have make sure that the settings are to the mic after it is plugged in. I used it with Audacity and I just had to mess with the settings a bit to get it connected. No add-ons or anything is needed. Just the mic and the program. Super clear too!

I believe the unit has audio input but I don't use it as I don't have audio cameras.

Customer Service told me that on a MAC, one needs to have garageband or quicktime. If you are going to buy a digital microphone, you do not need interface software. Hope that helps!

There is an audio output, so as long as you have the right cables and software, yes.

I don't recall but I believe so...we used this for a customers application which did not require audio

No idea, but after my third unit died (after just a couple months) I looked for another USB audio interface solution. This unit was discontinued a while back, every unit I had failed in the same way. I really loved this unit when it was working, but I lost confidence that its a good thing to own.

You don't need an audio interface on your laptop, its as simple as plug in go. You can just play right fromyour itunes.

Do you have to have a audio input plug to use this unit. Is there a way to connect via USB. Reason, I don't think my computer has a audio input slot, at least none that I can find on the back.

Yes you can plug this in to an audio interface. You will not need a standard mic cable, although it would be beneficial to have one depending on your interface. If the interface has both 1/4 inch and XLR jacks or a combo, you are good to go.

NO ! Needs a digital audio workstation or computer with a digital audio program loaded .

No, this is only for the visual output from the computer. A separate 1/8" output plugged into the headphones jack would be required for audio.

You need external audio interface hardware and recording / mixing software.

Yes, but it's a pain. You have to go into your control panel and select it as the default audio output, otherwise it pairs but gets no audio.

Yes you'll need a audio output from the tuner it should have one if not you could use the headphone jack instead

Yes, you would have to use an audio out cable to a mini audio jack on the unit.
