Hi, I won't have my PC with me; can I just power up &amp; plug in external speaker? If so,what speaker(s) will connect the easiest?

It won't do anything. It needs some sort of program running to make noise. MIDI controllers like this are just buttons in the shape of a keyboard that tell your computer what to do. There are some free plugins/programs you could can use for piano sounds or synths. I use Alicia's Key's by Native Instruments, but that costs money (but it's worth it imo). You can use a laptop or even a tablet with the right adapters if you have those. In short, the keyboard itself doesn't make any noise without other software.

No. It doesn't come with an external speaker, but you can plug it into one that you purchase separately. Although I'd wager the speaker would need to be powered.

If you want sound, you need a sound card. Speakers alone will not work. Check this out about how sound cards work: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/sound-card.htm

Can an iPhone be connected to these speakers independent of a PC? We want to use to playback music while rehearsing (live music).

If your laptop does not have the Bluetooth option, then you will not be able to connect this speaker.. If it does you will definitely be able to connect because my son has a laptop and is able to connect.. Thanks Bonnie

You would have to have a special cord that would connect from the PC to the speaker. We use this application on occasion. The cord we use is a mini plug to a quarter inch. You have to set the PC to mono or you will only get one side of the sound which doesn't seem like a problem but often times music and movies have vocals or instrumentals heavier on one side than the other. I hope this helps! Have a great night!

You can use the USB plug for Sound/Power, you don't need to use the audio jack. I have mine plugged in to my desktop and I think the sound is really nice. I listen to lectures and music on then and I like that you can control the sound from the right side speaker dial.

you have to attach the transmitter to the computer so why not plug it in? the speaker work great on either batteries or plug in thus they are called portable...the distance is probably 50 feet or so.

No....only an external speaker can be connected (which is highly recommended)

No. you do not need USB PC speakers, you need ordinary passive speakers (like the one you use for your home theater). In essence, this device is two-in-one: external USB sound card and an amplifier. Hope that helps.

The speaker has an amplifier (so it has own power/volume nob). It comes with a 120V AC to 12V DC switching power adapter that needs to be plugged into the back of the right speaker. An audio jack (stereo) also needs to be plugged into your computer.

If you want ot use as a computer speaker, as Brian said, Get a 1/8" male to male audio cable and hook one end to the laptop/PC's headphone or audio jack to the AUX of the speaker. Problem solved. Using USB may work, but I'd think of other options first, as the USB port on this device sends voltage out, as well as the USB port on your computer would, thats like pluging an outlet into an outlet....could have disastrous results..... Come "next door" if you have any other questions.

It's a good speaker and you can pair it to any source. If you do it on your laptop B.T. you can choose the device from your computer. After you choose the device on your computer then pair on the speaker.

Nice Speaker, you can use bluetooth or you can use whichever you like, I often use them both, buy another sd card. load music and you are on, or you can bluetooth your phone, tablet or laptop.

You won't if your PC has a Bluetooth receiver built into it. If it doesn't, then you will need a small "USB Bluetooth Adapter", that slides in one of your PCs USB ports before it will sync up the speaker. These can be found at any elec store for around $8-$12.

Check the packaging really carefully, you may have trashed it by accident (it's very small). Don't worry! Firstly, you can easily use any bluetooth device with these speakers. Or, if you really want a Creative bluetooth dongle, I could sell you mine
