Can I connect my laptop to this using a 1/4 inch adapter? I can only connect to the mixer with XLR's, otherwise I'd use a mini plug to RCA.

No don't hook up directly. Laptop to mixer then direct box to instrument on separate channel.

This should not be a problem! You can connect your mic to the XLR jack and use a 1/4" cable with an mini-stereo (on either end) to connect to your laptop. Levels should be adequate for most applications.

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to do so. If you want to run stereo, you want to use a mini-plug "breakout" cable to left and right RCA plugs, then adapt to 1/4" cables to 2 DI boxes. OR you can breakout straight from a mini-plug to L & R 1/4" plugs as shown here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=mini%20plug%20breakout . Best wishes.

This device is used mostly to get rid of noise (hum). I use it between mixer output and input of power amp to get rid of coupled AC noise and it works. Output signal (audio) from laptop should be clean and connecting to mixer using mini plug to RCA is OK.

Yeah, if you have a 1/4" adapter for your laptop that should work. I plug my synth into it, which uses a 1/4" cable.

All you need to do is buy some 1/4 inch to RCA plugs and plug those into the line inputs and you can plug in the line out from your piano and the line out from your laptop into the mixer. I exchanged the this model for the one with eight inputs because I wanted two microphone inputs, but it has the same kind of line inputs and I just plugged in those adapters and they did the trick. I used two RCA adapters on the mike inputs also to record some security microphones which had RCA plugs, and I used some XLR to TRS adapters to plug in my old microphones instead of buying new ones.

You would have to have a separate audio cable. If your laptop has a mini (1/8") headphone out, you can use a mini to rca, or whatever your audio input would require.

No, on the top it's a 6.3mm (big audio plug) and an XLR (3 pin) for your microphone. What are you using it for? I recommend a USB audio interface; I have one by Behringer and use it with my mixer for studio / singing. Like $30. Or not you can just plug the audio from this preamp to your PC and use a USB sound card if you don't have one. ;) Peace.

You could buy a 'Y' adapter which has 1 quarter inch input on one side and 2 female inputs on the back so you can run your quarter inch instrument cable into one, then convert if your mic is XLR or just plug the quarter end into that.

Joe:Should work fine. The plug is a standard mini plug and you can go from your Sennheiser mike to the adapter to the mixer with and XLR input with no problems. Mine works fine that way. Larry

The only inputs are standard 1/4" RCA cable or 3-pin XLR. I have hooked up a mixer with the kind of inputs you're looking for and used that to use my laptop. I'm an in-house dj of golf country club and own 4 of these. Their chief advantage is how compact, lightweight, and durable they are and deliver a full sound for a medium-sized banquet room.

Yes you can, you will need a cable similar to this one: "6 Feet 3.5mm Male Stereo to Dual 1/4-Inch Male Mono Y-Cable" and you can get the cable from Amazon. I use it with my laptop, I plug the two 1/4 inch mono into channels 1 and 2 of the mixer and pan channel 1 all the way left and pan channel 2 all the way right for full stereo, the 3.5mm or 8th inch into my laptop, phone, tablet or other device that takes the 3.5mm cable.

You don't want to use the line input for the Mic, you should use either a 1/4 inch or XLR input

No. There is only an XLR input. The 1/8" port on the box is output only. You'd need to buy some sort of adaptor to plug an 1/8" into it. Hope this helps!

Yes it will, as long as your input to your PA system is 1/4 inchMicrophones have and XLR connection, which is normally connected to an XLR connection at the other end. If you don't have an XLR (3 pin) connection at the other end, and it is a 1/4 inch connector at the input of your mixer or PA then this will work fine.

The mini to stereo 1/4" adapters are very inexpensive. That is the solution to connecting my Sony miniplug headphones to the Headphone amp.

I use the BEHRINGER U-PHONO UFO202 audio interface (available from amazon for $30) to connect my laptop to the mixer/amp. If your tv is one of the newer versions you should be able to connect your video from your laptop via USB or VGA. Not sure about your soundbar arrangement.

behringer sells a usb converter about 20 bucks that goes between the usb and the mixer, if your wanting to record through usb, or you can go from headphone jack out, or microphone in, the mic input has stereo input, on your laptop.... just buy a rca jack y cord to mini jack headphone about 2 bucks or so.... usb can be a pain having to set all the computer settings to get it to work,, I use audacity, and I get lost sometimes clicking on all the settings trying to get it to work

you can buy RCA to 1/4" jacks and not use this, or you can use the mixer if you want the extra channels.

No.. This is an XLR plug.. It plugs into a mixer or amp.. They make adapters but it won't sound good

If your laptop has a stereo 1/8" mic input, the mic should work with it. The audio quality of the mic is OK for the price, and adequate for voice (pod casts), but don't expect it to be "pro" quality, especially for music. The mic preamplifiers in your laptop will also have some influence on the audio quality. Generally speaking, most computers don't have great preamps, so they contribute a bit of background noise to the audio.
