can this output be usedwith i-pod in to run set of powered computer speakers?

Yes, as long as the speakers are powered (have built in amplifier) The unit will not power passive speakers (speaker that do not have and internal or external amplifier. If you ask the question with the model of your speakers I can provide a definite yes or no answer
1272912
Yes, and it will boost the input level going to the speakers. Bear in mind however that your speakers can only supply as much clean volume as their built-in amplifier is capable of; boosting the input signal too much will simply drive the amp into clipping (distortion).

I believe that it should. I'm a customer like you and don't own an iPod, but the output can be adjusted from nothing to much higher than a normal line-out found on most entertainment electronics.

Don't know, but mine only has RCA outputs, not the normal 3.5mm computer speaker size

I use it to connect my iPod to my home audio system & works fine. I'm not too electronically savvy. Sorry.

I don't have any speakers like that, but the cable has no data transfer capacity, so if it is just for power, and the adapter fits it should work.

Yes; if Windows recognize it, you can use it as output. On OSX it is always recognized as output audio device.Every software works with it; all that you do is to set the input and output as IO2 and that's all.

Yes! Use the USB connection to hook up to your computer, and connect a set of powered speakers to the RCA outputs on back of unit.

Hi, I had first bought one of these that needed powered speakers, then I traded it in for this one I think. And yes that is exclusively what this is used for. We use it for our restaurant, to play spottily, and to play the iPod. It works great! I hope this helped.

Yes. The output can be connected with any amplified device, like computer speakers.
1566678
Yes, but the computer won't drive the speakers directly. You'll need to connect the computer to an amplifier, and the speakers to the amp. I did something like this on my machine, using a Topping TP21 amp I purchased here on Amazon. Just search for "Topping" under the "Electronics" heading here to see some good choices.

Yes I have powered several pairs of speakers from the surround back/ zone 2 output using an impedance balancing speaker selector.

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

The USB port on this system is for output recording and it's not very good. You can't crank the system up enough to get a decent volume on the output. You could plug an I-Pod into the stereo input with a 1/8 inch plug.

Those speakers are probably rated at 1200W peak for like 3 seconds before they blow up, lol. This amp will be just fine for those speakers, but make sure you have the correct cable to hook them up, there are a few options on Amazon, and eBay, I have bought several cables and adapters for my DJ company, and I can tell you, it is nice to have the spares on hand just in case. You will need this cable to hook this amp to your ipod, it's a 10 foot long cable, should be just right for your setup, search amazon for this, Hosa CMP159 Stereo Breakout, 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4 in TS, 10-Feet

No. You need to connect your iPod to an amplifier. The speakers connect to the amplifier

I would think not. I would imagine that the output on your device is not capable of handling more than one. Also I think you would have to think about the impedence of the speakers combined.

Sorry, but no. The speakers get their power from a powered USB port on the connected device. There's two cables that come from the speakers - one is a USB connector that plugs into the PC or Mac for power and the other is an audio connector that plugs into the headphone jack of the PC or Mac. I bought these speakers to connect to a used Mac that had no audio to the speakers (but still had headphone audio) and they work great. Unlike the iPad Mini, the Mac has a powered USB port.I suppose you could try connecting the USB connector of the speakers to a USB charging plug, but I don't know if that will work and that seems inconvenient for a mobile device like the iPad Mini.

Yes, this is a powered speaker, so the amp is built in. I have run songs even from my iPad for a Christmas party. And it has good power. I have been pleased with it. Depending on your computer, you will probably have a stereo out, so if only using one speaker, get a y cord or adapter to bring the two sides down to one signal before plugging into the speaker input.

Mr. Imagine did not help you...GeeThe only way to use an I pod is to get an adapter. Get a long double ended 3mm cord that goes from your 3mm earphone hole on the POD then patch it into tje female 3mm end of a Y splitter to RCA and then go through a vacant input. - imagine that.
