They come with a 1/4 inch plug that is too big for your i-pod, however, you can purchase a 1/4-&gt;1/8 inch adapter that will work perfectly and not degrade the sounds one bit. There is one by Grado that I own and works great. For mobile, you might consider the form factor . If the 1/8 side sticks up in the air, it's going to increase the footprint of your mobile device. Here's one that lays flat and might be better for that reason. I can't vouch for the quality maybe get both, test them for audio experience and if they're the same, return the one whose form factor you like best. http://www.amazon.com/Seismic-Audio-SA-iREQES6i-Headphone-Extender/dp/B00AFEMMLG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1355750795&sr=1-3&keywords=1%2F8+headphone+adapter

Thank you for asking. This sub is designed to take a line level signal. Without a preamp of some sort like a small mixer an iPod will not reach the potential of this amp and speaker, however you make get something from it if you had a cable that is 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo on one side and dual XLR on the other. You would need some mains for it to sound right as this is only a subwoofer so it does not provide full range audio.

No amp required, but I use it with a small portable headphone DAC/Amp when I connect tony laptop and they sound amazing. I also use with no amp attached to iPhone and the sound is fuller than my Shure IEMs

You have the option to, however there are no onboard speakers. Your options are either a headphone jack (for standard ipod headphones etc) or an output for an amp where you would use a standard instrument cable.

You can use any I pod that have the the 30 pin plug or you can use the 3.5 mm jack that come with the unit to play but not charge

You can use it with any amp. I use a crate half stack and it really boosts the volume.

you can use a mixer or a preamp. you should not plug this in directly to speakers

That really isn't the purpose of this device but I suppose you could use an app through an ipad or an iphone and then use the headphone jack from the iphone as your output. What is the problem that you're trying to solve? Are you wanting to use this device in lieu of a guitar amplifier?

This is a great amp made for use with a mixing board for a PA system. With the correct mixing board, you could plug an iPod into the board, then use the amp to power a set of speakers and it would work.

I use a I-POD Touch with it, so I assume the standard I-POD would also work.

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.

I am not sure about directly plugging into the amp, as most phono's need a preamp.But I would try it anyway. You won't hurt anything.

Hi Scott...You don't need an amp, I hooked mine up without one.....take care.....Andy

Nope. You can listen through your ipod while the L9 is connected to the amp. But your music won't be amplified if you connect headphones directly to the ipod(it will play at normal quality)

Yes you do--it is a source component. You can listen to it with headphones without an amplifier, but it will definitely not power any speakers as it only has line voltage.

Definitely the line out, the impedance of the amp imput will match better and you'll skip the headphone output circuitry. All portable amps have their own volume control, plus it's why people buy separate iPod dock cables to access the line out for their amp. With the x3 you don't need to do that as they provide a separate LO jack.

Yes you really only need an amp with high resist and low sensitivity headphones. This has pretty low resist and the sensitivity is high enough to be really loud at 50% volume on a ipod.
