Will I be able to plug this into a speaker system for gigs? I am confused between the Audio input line...

Yes, you will. I use mine regularly for my church band. It works just fine.

In short, I would say no. If you feel like removing all USB functionality - then technically yes. (cut the speaker lines and place into the amp outs). I suspect the low output over your current system is a combo of low power from the USB powered amp (it's technically only capable of 2.5w output) - and cheap speakers. So If I'm going to be truthfully honest - by another powered speaker PC set. For utilizing this amp you'd want to purchase new speakers as well.

You might be able to get this working, by attaching the 3.5mm to the microphone jack on your computer. However, most computer are not configured to treat the microphone jack as "pass-through", because the feedback when using an actual microphone would be bad.So, you will need to make sure that you have some software/hardware on your computer that allows you to play sound directly from your microphone jack to your speakers.

Yo,i looked up what you said you had and to tell the truth,you really can't hook them up to that software!...It's a amplifer,what you got,but them speakers are only use for studio recording!...You go to hook them up through your computer!

Sorry, I can't answer your question, but it is a line-in. You'er right, it may not work. I have not tried to connect it through my speakers. Good luck.

Can I hook this up directly to computer speakers (e.g. the kind that have a 3.5mm plug and a built-in amplifier)?

No - "line level" outputs only, would need amp with line level inputs to connect to "unpowered" speakers.

You would need some sort of volume controlled amplifier to hook the output from the converter to your speakers, such as a stereo receiver or integrated amp.The audio output from the converter is a low level signal not capable of driving speakers.Hope this helps.

Yes, you can. This actually setup is mainly used for computers actually. My only advice to you is do not turn the bass all the way up and keep distance between the speakers, otherwise you will get a slight static feedback that's low but annoying.

I have read a few reviews of the speaker system; they are described as for use with a computer sound system, they will probably burn out if you use this amp with them.

There is NO USB input on this amplifier. There are 2 analog RCA inputs. You would need a separate DAC unit to go between this and your source component.

Nope. But if you got clever with mixing in a 2 to 1 splitter on the input side you should be able to accomplish the same thing. I say clever because the input is 1/4 and obviously what you plug in will be 1/8. You will also lose the stereo since the output is only mono. Still may be worth it since this sucker is pretty good at amping up and is affordable and durable.

Inputs and outputs are strictly speaker wire connections. And it is not an amplifier, so it would not boost the power of a phone or mp3 player.

No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input. Very few of the modern ones have a phono input anymore and they need a pre-amp. This is a road-warrior amp, and I have used several of them for different projects over the years. One takes the output from my surround sound unit and powers speaker pairs all over the house. Another goo feature is that the off-on switch stays in the position you leave it and can be used in a switched power outlet of a master amp or anything else you want it to respond to. I keep coming back to this amp and have been very happy with them...especially the price and availability. No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input.

I am not sure about this. I always assumed that it used the phono port for the line out and the usb was only for power. I bet that it is only for power, but maybe I might try the usb as the audio line out and update my answer. I doubt it will work though.

It is an amplifier and it should work, but I am not sure the output (in Wattage) will be enough to give you sufficient sound volume to fill a room...depends on the speakers and how many you hook up...it is basically a stereo unit and not surround sound and you may have to get some adapters to hook up your laptop output jacks to the input jacks of the amp. If you like it loud, you may want to get a more powerful unit...that's all I know.

I wouldn't recommend this amp for that. Its a 2 channel amp, has no speaker inputs only a headphone sized input.
