Considering using in my 105 room hotel.. is there a place to connect to this speaker with a cable for those who are tech challenged?

Absolutely. there is a 1/4 inch input for all devices. But learn to use your Bluetooth...it's worth it!!!

Yes it comes with a cable that can connect via your headphone jack. You can also link via bluetooth. They have great sound and very powerful. I hope in the future they will come out with a weatherproof speaker.

Hi. It does have a 3.5mm audio in receptacle (like the one you see on more modern cars). The sound is really good for a unit this size. One caveat for a hotel: the unit is small enough that it would be easy for someone to stuff in a bag or suitcase.

I do not believe you can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8R4Vemvhsc&sns=em this is a good review and shows the connection options. Mine sounds like junk. It started to sound distorted or something about a month and a half in. My friend knows speakers and said the subwoofer is cheaply made and there is a lose connection so it keeps cutting out. I wouldnt buy.

I would not stress about this. The best solution would be to use an RCA Y adapter, and you could have one in 2 days from Amazon. However, you will get signal from plugging it into either the red or white terminal. Plug it into the one you like best and order the adaptor. I made my own from an old RCA cable that I had. Remember that you only paid $100 for your surround sound system-you aren't going for audiophile levels of accuracy here.

You can still plug it into your computer's audio port the old fashioned way. Plus you can transmit to it from your phone or other Bluetooth friendly device. It's not a very portable setup in the first place, the satellite speakers are still tethered to the sub.

Yes, you can find the extra cable here (Amazon), but if you want fidelity sound try not to expand it to length

No....only an external speaker can be connected (which is highly recommended)

I would buy longer higher quality cable and check with Best Buy or Fry's about what speakers might be compatible. You also may need a more expensive system.

Sorry am unfamiliar. This center speaker is ample for my needs and cost was low

The Sabrent speaker works great for us, i have not ever used a Cables speaker so am not able too comment on them.

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.

You can use thin speaker wire but you'll need a good bit of it. Or, I found an extension on here. It was hard to find but it's only $9.99. It's 2 meters, about 6 feet. I ordered it on a Thursday and got it the following Wednesday. I recommend taking the time to find the extension because you won't be taking the chance of messing anything up. I'll try to find it again and give you a link. Found the link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008VL2PZS/ref=mw_dp_sim_ss4?pi=SX125

yes, you just need the appropriate cable to go from your computer to the speaker. We have a set of these at a municipal football field that we use for announcements in between quarters we play music from an iPad

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

Yes. That cable has a standard RCA Jack that goes into the right speaker so all you have to do is unplug it and add an extension.... Good Luck!

Ith has speaker connections. I use a $100 sound bar if rom Walmart. 3.5 mm jack

There is no power cable connected to the speaker. Just ensure the amplifier output can support this speaker by checking the speaker impedance.

Speaker wire is not critical - any good commercial wire will transmit the sound well. The key is good input from your source.
