[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 93356, member: 2121"] Re: usb power Even when using a PC, I've found that the on-board USB sockets don't provide enough amperage to power an iPod/iPad. There are hacks for Asus mobos to increase the power output of the USB sockets. I think the USB spec allows for up to 500mA from the socket, iirc. The iPod/iPad needs around 2000mA. It's obvious that the X32 was not designed with charging devices, or providing power to specific devices in the mind of Behringers engineers. It looks like the X32 sockets don't provide enough juice to power Apple stuff. How I got around this was to buy one of these for my X32 case: [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006HFME4M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL] OK, so I'm UK based and you aren't, but there must be something similar available where you are. The two USB sockets allow me to charge up an MP3 player and my iPad without preventing me from using the onboard socket for recording from the desk. I now get band members asking me to charge their iPhones from FOH. I may start charging for this, along with batteries, drum keys, etc. It's just another service I provide. YMMV, but in my experience I only use the onboard USB socket on the desk for recording and scene storage. Anything else (charging, etc), I buy something specific to that task. HTH. Karl. [/QUOTE]
