Q: 2. I want to use it to play hpd 16. Will it sound properly?

A: The Roland Mobile cube offers big and clean sound for its relatively small size. If you are looking for a portable speaker under $200, this is a great option; allowing you to plug in not only the HPD-16 drum machine, but also other electronic devices such as microphones, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, MP3 players- you name it!

Q: 3. are batteries rechargeable?

A: It doesn't come with batteries. You buy your own. It takes AA, so you could buy rechargeable if you wanted to. I have run mine only on electricity so far. I like the battery option, though.

Q: 4. What cable/adaptor do I need to connect a Ipod touch/ipad to the input to make changes using the Cube Kit?

A: You will need a stereo 3.5mm male to 1/4 female. Then a 1/4 guitar cable. Here is the B&H part number for the adapter for your phone to 1/4 B&H # PRCSMMSPF.You don't play through the phone like an i Rig. You plug the phone in the guitar input using the adapter I sent. Then download the EFX you want into the amp. Then you remove everything and plug in your guitar as usual and access the EFX Cube kit. Here is a photo of the set up in the manual.file://nas2a-a href= http://srv.bnh.com/pchome/johnpace/Downloads/CUBE-10GX_OM.pdf target= _blank srv.bnh.com/pchome/johnpace/Downloads/CUBE-10GX_OM.pdf/a

Q: 5. Well my acoustic guitar work with this amp. LAG tramotane?

A: The Roland CUBE-10GX is a good amplifier for acoustic guitars.

Q: 6. can i use this speaker with a turnable vinyl system?

A: Probably not directly. The Roland CM-30 does not have phono inputs. You would need to purchase a separate phono pre-amp to put between the turntable and Roland. This would convert the very weak turntable phono output into a line-level signal that you could plug into the aux inputs on the Roland. The exception would be if your turntable has a built-in phono pre-amp so that it puts out a line-level signal (which I believe would be the case if it has USB outputs), but this would be uncommon.

Q: 7. What kind of AC adapter does this require?

A: Roland PSB-1U - AC Power Adapter B&H # ROPSB120

Q: 9. I'm looking for something that will allow me to connect multiple speaker types to my mixer to monitor music productions from different speakers. I need to send audio out from the main mix on my mixer to powered studio monitors, and non powered PA speakers (the audio would go into the built in mixer that acts as the amp for the speakers and go to the speakers from there) as well as running to a stereo amp unit (connects with RCA type audio connectors, so would run 1/4 to RCA cable) that is running subwoofers? I have been warned that running powered sound into powered speakers can be bad, so that is why I am wondering if this would be a good solution for my usage. Thanks!

A: I have this unit and it works great for the intended purpose, but I don't think I would want to use it for what you have described. It probably could do the job, but it sounds as if you need a good mixer instead. All my mixers have had monitor outputs, main outputs, and an RCA line-level output for recording (often labelled tape ). It sounds as if all your needs could be met by a decent mixer with a full compliment of outputs.

Q: 10. Any customs duties included

A: The Roland Mobile Cube presently sells for $179 USD. Any additional fees such as duties, tax, and VAT are not included in this price.
