Can this speaker be connected in series?/ Does the Altec Lansing iM-237 have an output jack to allow you to connect multiple speakers in series, or can you only use one speaker at a time?

I don't see why it wouldn't work with a 3.5mm to RCA adapter as M. Burch suggests. Plug the left channel into an RCA to 3.5mm female adapter, do the same for the right channel, then plug one speaker into each line out. Since the speakers are independently powered, volume shouldn't suffer.

At the Altec Lansing website, it says that even if you plug two of them in, only one will play, so don't waste your $$$ trying it.

Has anyone tried this that can verify whether the volume is reduced with 2 speakers?

No output port - you would need to get a splitter, connect that to your ipod, then you could plug in two but I would assume the volume would be greatly reduced for each speaker

For "real" stereo, one speaker plays left and one right but one speaker alone sounds terrific to me. Go ahead and get one....you will end up getting another if you don't want to carry a speaker (though very light weight and not really a problem) from room to room.I think you will love one or two. I asked the company (excellent email response in less than 24 hours) about using more than 2 and that is not possible now but the company rep forwarded my suggestion to the techie types as a possiblity.aah

I hadn't previously used my ALTEC Lansing Orbit iML237 USB speaker on this hub, but plugged it in today and it worked perfectly fine. Great, clear sound. I then plugged that speaker into my preferred hub, the 7 port 'Plugable 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 4A Power Adapter' also from Amazon, and it worked perfectly well, too. It costs $10 more but it's noticeably more substantial. In addition, the buttons on the Sabrient created problems for me and I wanted more ports anyway. With either device, there was no hum, static or any other kind of interference in my USB speaker. Hope this helps.

I too got the Altec Lansing im600 and the remote also does not work. It does require a battery that is taped onto the remote package, but after putting the battery into the remote it still did not work. There are no instructions that go with the remote so it is VERY frustrating! I ultimately sent it back and I am waiting for a new system.

Most soundfreaq devices CAN be daisy chained together to provide output to multiple speakers. You link one speaker to your device and then use a simple rca headphone jack cord (with the same plug on BOTH ends) to link the speakers together. Cheap and easy.

Yes, you can connect multiple sources to this speaker via bluetooth. I've had up to 4 sources stored, though I haven't figured out how the speaker decides which one gets first shot at connecting. Good luck!

Dear James, The SA-4 amplifier is made to run one pair of speakers. Are these 4 speakers you wish to run an independent system, or are you trying to run a second zone off of an existing system? That will help me greatly in recommending the right type of product. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I asked the same question! It is a stand alone unit and has excellent sound output. Although initially I had hoped to incorporate in my other surround sound speakers, I am pleased with the Polk system. An alternative could be the Definitive Technology MYTHOS XTR-SSA3 unit that has receiver compatibility.

Yes you can link the speakers to run in series. It is an active, or powered, speaker, so it does require to be plugged into the wall. If price is an option, I recommend the behringer b112 or b115. The pile speaker is exactly that. A pile of s***. If money is not an issue, look into qsc. Always go for powered, as you will not need a separate power amp for them. The qsc 8 or 10 inch speakers give huge punch in a compact size. Priced around 500-700 each they are the best option. The behringer speakers can be had for 200-350 each and are not bad

I have the 3rd Gen Ipod with the 30-pin hookup at the bottom. I would imagine if the 4th Gen ipod has the 30 pin-hookup (located on the bottom of your ipod) that it would be compatible with the Altec Lansing IMT320. The sound quality on this speaker system is fantastic.

Glad to hear you got one, have you tried it yet? Mine is on it's way via UPS, I should have it tomorrow.12/5 UPDATE: by now you may have found out the VS4121 only works if you connect the speakers that come with it. The subwoofer doesn't work as a stand alone with the IM600. I just called Altec and got someone who actually knew what they were talking about and he was surprised that it was recommended by an Altec employee (Wagner). None of their speaker systems w/sub work on the IM600. The guy I just spoke with said there is a stand alone sub in the works and should be out early next year. Sorry for the bad advice but as you can see it was given to me as well direct from Altec. Happy Holidays! Glad to hear you got one, have you tried it yet?

My understanding is that the you do not. You can have one set of speakers hooked up if you want. I have four sets of speakers connected at various volumes and they sound great.

Theoretically, you can. I do. However, I have to shut every single speaker on and off every single time I want to play on multiples at once. It takes about 5 minutes for everything to work. Which is too long and my mood changes. It's a giant pain and completely un-magical. I don't recommend these speakers at all. If you want to buy three inexpensively anyway, let me know. Mine work well, just not on my network

Yes. Plug the speaker into the headphone jack. The cord on the Altec Lansing is 8 inches long. Use the volume control on your player. I'm guessing I've had this speaker for at least a year and I love it. The batteries last a long time. I use it with an iPad 2 and iPhone.

No, there is two Quarter inch outputs jacks 1& 2 these are same mono signal to each speaker. so when you option to use the speakon conector you can run only one speaker or two in paralle. the amp is mono only but still sounds good for small shows.

The Sherwood runs 4 sets of speakers by itself works great. By theory you could tap in and run the extra sets as well using the pyle device. Dont know how the volume would be affected.

It only has output for 4 sets of speakers. I guess you could connect two sets to one output but both would be on with that button.
