no - but it sounded like a newer version of the same thing could do it when I talked with tech people. It might be possible to get a cord that's a headphone cord and split it to an iPod and the mic, though.

No, it is not compatible as the Altec Lansing was not made to fit the new (Nov. 2012) ipod, ipad and iPhone 5. You can, however, purchase a "Lightning Adaptor" - one end will connect to the ipod nano and the other to the Altec Lansing.

I connect a small mixer to our system. It allows me to add microphones and connect an iPod. It is a very flexible little system.

Yes, you should be able to use any wireless system that has either XLR, 1/4 inch or 1/8th inch connector. We use Shure FP5 wireless system with ours. You are unlikely to find a wireless microphone that is compatible with the Samson wireless channel. Turn off the Samson Wireless channel & plug your wireless receiver into Channel 1 for XLR cable or Channel 2 for unbalanced input.

It works with airplay technology which means that you can stream audio from apple devices and from iTunes in windows if the device is connected to the same network.It also has a 3.5 mm input, you would be able to use any audio device with the 3.5 mm input cable, it is not as comfortable as the wireless option (airplay) but it works.

You need to plug the mic system into an amp or a mixer, but the mic's are wireless.

Okay....I just called Altec Lansing (800-258-3288). I was advised that yes it would work but that there was no adapter (as of yet) for the ipod 8 GB nano. BUT.....if you use unit in a stationery position it would work. I bought one for my 82 year old mother 2 years ago, one for myself last week (i have a sec gen ipod nano) and now...I'm thinking of buying the new ipod 8gb nano and using my altec lansing. I don't carry it around....I use at home or bring to work and use. Its always stablilized. I have one of the original in home BOSE stereo systems (5 big speakers) and HANDS DOWN, this IM7 beats it for crispness and clarity. Okay....I just called Altec Lansing (800-258-3288).

Hello. The system includes two wired microphones. It has a total of four channels, and two of those would be available for additional microphones (you could use wired or wireless). You could also connect a line audio feed from a device such as a computer, tablet, or iPod (separate cable required). If you need any assistance selecting the right products for your needs, please contact us. Thank you for your interest!

It's a self contained unit so it doesn't need to be connected to any system. That way you can use it anywhere. There is a place to plug your iPod in so it can play through it while you are speaking. I use the iPod app on my phone but plug it into a speaker dock so I don't have to carry my phone while I teach. I have to turn it all the way up but it's good enough for my classes to hear me. Again other mics cost more have to be used with a sound system and eat up batteries. For the money I think this mic is very handy and I like it alot for what I do.

It works but you still need microphone. You can try this Tascam iM2 High Quality Stereo Microphone for iPhone and iPod Touch - White. Specially made for Iphone/Ipod. You can buy it in Amazon. It cost $31 and up. http://www.amazon.com/Tascam-Quality-Stereo-Microphone-iPhone/dp/B00B8XVLJW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid;=1393990658&sr;=8-6&keywords;=Tascam+iM2

Thank you for your inquiry. This is a monitoring system, not designed for a microphone so you will need a separate wireless microphone system for your mic. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you!

The previous answers pretty well sum it up. I use mine with 2 high quality wireless units, but they have their own receiver that plugs into the jacks on the back. This allows me to use A and B mics at the same time. The Samson mic is a spare unless I only need one unit. Any wireless that has its own receiver will work just fine.

Just ran into this message thread, looking to update my wireless mic setup for my Zi8, that I've had since Christmas. Rick-whoever you talked to at Kodak must not be very well-knowledged. I have been using a wireless mic that I've had for nearly 30 years. I'm looking to find one with updated technology, hoping the quality will be a bit better. Hope I can, but if I can't, I know I have one that does work with it. It's an old RCA, but its range is only about 15-18 feet and I have to get the mic close to my mouth or decent sound pickup.

so has anyone tried using 2 microphones yet can you plug an ipod or other android device into it to play music and use both microphones at the same time?

You would connect the output from the wireless receiver to any of the inputs of the mixer. No other way. Run the output to any one (or two for stereo) of the inputs instead of going to a speaker system or amplifier. Then the output of the mixer would go to an amplifier for the speaker system. Hope this helps.

No you have to have a working headphone adapter in order for them to work. The USB just powers the speakers. Now if you go to RadioShack. They have a Bluetooth receiver and as long as ur iMac has Bluetooth then you can use that plus you will have wireless speakers! What you will need from RadioShack is 1. Bluetooth connect by xtrememac 2. 3.5mm female to 3.5mm female coupler3. 1 pack of AAA batteries (the BT connect is small and portable therefore you need batteries) I really hope this helps

The short answer is you can, it will just show up as another interface or sound card. For example, if you use it with Virtual DJ you can use your onboard sound card for headphones and these as monitors Via USB. You can even input a mic into these via 1/4 jacks and record into your DAW, I have tried it with Logic X and it works only problem with that is you have no volume control for the input because it is not a mixer. So the non Technical answer is If you use it to DJ, this is a great second sound card/interface as Monitors or Master output. Note I have used it with Virtual DJ and Logic X and they work seamlessly.
