Can the audio output be plugged into powered speakers or does it need to be plugged into an amplifier?

Yes it needs power and it comes with the 5v power supply included that plugs into it. I was very satisfied wit the unit. I amplified the analog output using cheap computer speakers then pluging headphones into the jack on the computer speakers. The pictures and whats included in the box is shown out on the amazon site.

Not powered. Need to be connected to an AMP. Has great sound. Added a small subzero 100 sub-woofer.

I looked at mine and read info on internet. I see Bluetooth in for speaker usage but no output plug.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

No audio outlet because speakers are built in.USB connection that you much change your sound output destination each time you switch back to your laptop speakers.

You will need an amp unless you are getting a powered subwoofer which comes with a built in amp

Yes. That is how the built-in amplifier is powered. Speakers come with two cords - one plugs into your audio out jack on your monitor or cpu and the other cord plugs into a standard wall jack.

Yes it can be plugged into either. When you select your inputs it will say which port its connected to.

I answered 'yes' by mistake - it is not necessary, so there is no confusion. The speakers are self powered, you simply need to plug them in from the speaker with the power cord to a 110 outlet.

You will need powered external speakers if you plan not to use a receiver. In other words, speakers which have their own volume control.

Unfortunately no, the USB plug is how the speakers get power, so it would need to be plugged in, in order for the speakers to be turned on.

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

It is powered in that you can use it with headphones without a power amp, but If you want to power speakers you need a power amp with this.

Yes, it is a powered speaker. You can just plug your sound source, including iPod or iPad, with no amp or other receiver needed.

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.

No audio output. This plugs into an electronic drum kit, like a Yamaha DD65,Or similar. Then that plugs into a PA.
