I don't have an iPad, what would be the difference between this and the Scarlett Solo?

Not sure about the Scarlett Solo, but this is made for ipad / garageband. 1 downside is I cannot use the monitor feature (Audio out) without the ipad plugged in. So basically, if I just want to plug in live and get live sound from this unit(because it provides phantom power for my condenser mix, I have to plug in my ipad...:-( Otherwise it works pretty well, just wish I could jam without plugging in another device to record!

Unfortunately, it has to be on the iPad. I could have sware once I plugged the power in it would be fine, but nope...Pretty big bummer IMOP. I did look at the Scarlett and that one appears to be basically the same thing except not marketed towards apple. The scarlett looks to be more PC / USB built, but as far as the "having to be plugged into a recording device before outputting any sound" is concerned?? May be the same way, not sure.

It seems to be otherwise identical. I use it with a PC and it works like a charm! Highly recommended. You do not need an IPad to get ful functionality. Actuallu it is even officially described (somewhere :) ) IPad connectivity is/was a marketing main point fotr this device but in practice is an equal option to present USB connection. So you may use it as a standard USB interface as I do as I do not have an IPad.

I use my Satechi with my 4th gen iPad. Be aware that this is NOT a device like I used to have, where you plug the device into an electric outlet, and then mount your iPad/iPod on it and it will play music, etc and charge your Apple device as well. The Satechi is merely a SPEAKER.....it runs on an internal battery that you charge by plugging one end of an included cable into the Satechi and the other into your COMPUTER, to charge it. It seems to hold a charge for about 7 hrs. of playing time. To use it as a speaker for your iPad, you plug the included very short plug from the iPad earphone jack into the speaker. As stated below, it does NOT CHARGE your iPad. I received this as a gift, replacing my broken charger/speaker. I wish I had returned this and gotten the other....much more useful for me. The one plus for this speaker system is that it is portable....if you want to take your iPad to a picnic in the park, you can play it with the speaker system.

Here is the side-by-side comparison chart I used to compare the two before I made my purchase. . .http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hometheater-systems/home-theater-package/?selected=377425_377422_&mode;=compare.Like Solomon Fried wrote the 597 can handle an iPad. It also has a port for Internet Radio but you have to buy the receiver/antenna for it. None of that was important to me. I got the 597 because from the above link I was sure it had 3D sound.

I have the A4, so perhaps there is a difference, but I know of no adapter. The A4 is a stand alone unit that utilizes airplay to allow your mac, iPad or iPhone to play your music. The initial connection can be cumbersome, but once established it's a no brainer to play your music via airplay.

Not the greatest for iPOD, and average for IPAD and PC. The problem is this is a 300 ohm headphone and to fully appreciate the sound you need a headphone amp. But it tell work, you will just not the full performance from it

Got is202 early this year. It has switchable phantom power and works great with my studio condenser mics. I don't see why it wouldn't work with iPad 4 and other than the iPad might not fit properly in the device. It will not work as an interface for the computer through USB but if you use garage band on iPad to record you can transfer project and open it in GarageBand for Mac. I was also very impressed with the quality of recording I got from this product. Best thing though is that it's so easy and fast to set up so I've been doing a lot more recording.

I purchsed this item for my husband who plays guitar and yes he uses it on his iPhone device as well as yh e iPad. The HD is more expensive but the sound is much better. He loved it because it is wireless. Does not work well sometime in his brothers house he said that it may not be "grounded".

i was using an old iPhone as an iPod touch and a bose blue tooth speaker and it was decent but not as good. The nomad speaker points at the ceiling and fills the room better, disguises noise better.If the iPod works well for you, then why buy something else. But if you are still being interrupted from noises you might want to try getting a sound machine.

I use with amplitude on my ipad3. The pedal itself has no effects on its own

Yes as the plugs are the same.. But to tell you the truth I wouldn't bother buying one if I had my time over. Not long after I ordered my dock Sonos released an uprade, "play from this phone" which basically meant you didn't have to have your computer on the listen to music..I only bought the dock for this very purpose as I only have a laptop which is not going 24/7..now my dock is just a very expensive charger.. Check if you phone supports the "play from this phone" tab on the Sonos main controller screen.. I know my iPad 1 won't support it.. Good luck..

In my case, I didn't really notice a difference between this mic and the one built in the Ipad. I wouldn't spend the money.

yes you will. ipod has a wacky sound quality, perhaps the mac is better. The iBasso is great and it is a DAC meaning it can convert digital waves to analog waves. The sound is more realistic. I'm really satisfied with it.

Anything that's has a self contained power supply. The iPod Classic does not put out enough juice to run "stand-alone" speakers. After doing some research and reading user reviews, I purchased the Logitech 140's and I'm not sorry.

I haven't tried the Solo², but have heard good things. Since they do not feature the active noise cancellation found on the Studio they should have better sound quality at a lower cost and should otherwise be similar in quality. Personally I'd say go to a store that allows you to try both, then compare and purchase the one you prefer on Amazon for slightly less.

There are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to play a song and jam with it with a plugged in instrument. I have used Amplitube (which I hate, loathe and despise, but that's because everytime they update it, they make it less usable). A little research on apps, and various cables would help you. I've given you one app already. With an assumption you want to use a guitar, here's the guitar cable that I use Griffin Technology GuitarConnect Cable for iPhone, iPod, and iPad I have two of them. Don't use the IK Multimedia ones, they are garbage. There are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to play a song and jam with it with a plugged in instrument.

First, I don't have an iPad- exchanged it for a Samsung tablet which is easy to use and understand. Second, I returned the Aura BluNote because the sound was terrible.

Don't have a Mac, so can't help. BTW, I too liked the Scarlett, but at the time it didn't have MIDI ports. The Presonus has been great though.
