I am sorry I don't know on that but my best guess is just use the aux cord in the back and connect all ur systems to a emulator I think it's called and hook ur iPad to that and use it like that my best guess is but I can be wrong so try at ur risk of success or failure have a nice day

My guess is no, If you look closely at all of the pictures of the system, it actually shows all of the cables. The system itself is powered so hooking it up to your receiver if it's not powered shouldn't be a problem. I got the system for my son, so I never actually had it here to look at, but in the pictures it shows 2 RCA cables so I'm assuming you can hook it up to anything that has a line out.

i know you can hook it up to your ipad. i dont know if you can hook up both unless you had a dual audio splitter. And the audio input cables come with the set up and should be able to fit in in your JBL ES250 subs.

I think you want amplified speakers to work with your iPad. That is, the kind that have batteries, or plug into a wall outlet. These speakers do not have a power source. They work well with a traditional stereo receiver/amplifier, but probably not with a small electronic device.Also, I think there would be a problem with the cabling.

Simple answer cables. you can directly connect an ipad to these provided you find cable and proper wiring of the cable, use caution (example mic cable wiring is criss crossed, I had to undo redo the wiring inside to work). For improve sound use Behringer Xenyx 802 basic multi input mix. For tethering may use something like a Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver with slight loss of audio quality, negligible in a party. I use all depending what's needed.

Yes - you can hook them up using an XLR cable. You'll need an XLR cable that is male on one side and female on the other. On the back of the speakers there is an "input" and "output" XLR jack. Whichever speaker has your original input (microphone, sound input, etc.) will carry that sound over (using the output XLR jack) over to the "input" XLR jack of the 2nd speaker.

Thank you for your response. I was unaware of what a Y cable is until now. I ended up buying a receiver and speakers. Its good information to know though.

Nope. These connect with speaker wire, so you'll need some sort of receiver to connect them to. They have good lows, so a sub isn't strictly necessary--especially for music--but for movies, you'll probably want a decent sub and surrounds too.

No, I think not they are meant to be used with an amplifier/receiver. Plug your I Phone into one of those then it will work. But I must tell you the speakers are really poor quality, the grills keep falling off etc. I returned mine.

The connector is your standard plug in, like most AV plugs. I don't know if Ipads have standard input for speakers. If so, yes. But this summer for placing on top of a tablet, and produces good sound.

Louie, these are fine speakers. However the entire ES series has been removed from the JBL line and the new ones in the ES series for sale are the only ones remaining. Some of the remaining new speakers in the ES series are selling for a premium. (Please note that the price listed is for ONE speaker. You need to buy two of them for stereo or to use in a surround system.)If you haven't bought them, now is your last chance. See my answer to Scott W. below for more details.

Sure thing, even better if you add a small subwoofer to the system. I have these plugged into an older Yamaha receiver along with an 8" JBL powered sub and it sounds pretty sweet!

The outdoor speaker comes with a cable that would connect the transmitter to the 3.5mm headphone jack on your iPad - 3.5mm jack to left/right RCA connectors into transmitter. You could also connect to the receiver, but that's generally more difficult. Yes, you can run two speakers from the same transmitter. There is a left/right switch on the speakers to allow you to set one for each. I did not find where you could buy just an extra speaker, so you end up with a second transmitter you do not need. Love the speakers - plenty of quality sound, certainly enough for the patio space in the backyard where I use mine.

Let me take a look at mine, what type of speakers? I usually connect mine to JBL'S.

You cannot just hook up an iphone to anything like this. You need a mixer and and amplifier or an amplifed mixer to actually run a PA system. THEN you need the correct interface to connect the iPhone to the mixer. Depending on the quality of the mixer, which will most certainly be of the Crap level if you are buying these speakers, you will need an 1/8" to rca adapter cable. Based on your question you are way out of your league, even with these cheap throw-away speakers.

Hi Ben, believe it or not, you don't even need a receiver for these speakers because they have on-board amp and EQ. This means you don't need the "middle man". You can go directly from your music source to the speaker, or you can go from your music source, to a mixer, and from the mixer to the speakers. These are active speakers, which means they do not need a powered channel, all they need is the audio signal and the speakers do the rest. These speakers make an absolutely badass home-theater setup. I have a pair of XLR-to-RCA speaker cords and I just plug the RCA end into the red/white(L/R) output channels on my Blu-ray, plug the XLR into my mixer, then run a cord to each speaker and press play. If your receiver has a set of RCA outputs, I don't see why you couldn't use these in place of normal satellite speakers. Awesome sound quality, AMAZING volume and bass. Hell, sometimes I even plug my mp3 player directly into the speaker using a 1/8"-to-1/4" converter plug and crank it up. All I need is music, and a power outlet and I'm set. Honestly, I have replaced every speaker I've ever had with just one set of these JBL's. I use them for everything(Home theater, music listening, studio monitors, amplifying musical instruments, mobile dj-ing, etc..). Just buy them man, you'll be happy :)

If you have a LFE output on your receiver, then you only need one cable. Quoting the Owner's Manual, "If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS processor/receiver, the Low-Pass Frequency is set by the processor/receiver." See http://www.jbl.com/images/media/ES250P(120V)_OM_EN.pdfIf you want to run in "normal" mode, then you'll need to buy two cables. See the manual for configuration settings getting the L/R receiver outputs to your subwoofer.I use mine in LFE mode. I hope I've helped you. Good luck!

You can listen wirelessly (Bluetooth) from your device (iPhone, iPad, etc.). The subwoofer connects wired with an optical wire or RCA jacks.

No, you will need to get wire to connect them as well as a sub woofer cable. Search MEDIA BRIDGE on amazon I've have been using them for the past few years and have never been disappointed. Get a quality speaker cable there are several supplier on amazon.....I use Cmpl CL2 rated cable...its over kill but sounds AWESOME
