User questions & answers

Question:	Can you record a drum machine track on here and add vocals and guitar later
Answer:	My boyfriend have a Apple laptop but the audio works really good. I’m happy to bay this for him
Question:	when you export multi track recordings, do the files keep their individual tracks
Answer:	Yes it does come with the pop filter.
Question:	i really want this unit, the reviews sound great, but i have a question: do you absolutely HAVE to download your music via some music software to your computer for some reason? or can you directly download to a CD recorder if you wish to
Answer:	If you are 6'4-6'5 you should be fine with the mic stand up right. We tested with our staff here. If you require additional height, you will need to prop up the stand.
Question:	I want to play a recorded backing track while singing live. Can I do this through the recorder or do I need to add a mixer downstream from it
Answer:	Yes, it had a standard connection.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would 2 play 3 speakers sound better then one play 5? I already own a play
Answer:	Yes, you would have true stereo sound and a fuller volume to the room.
Question:	Will this work with a winows os for control or must it be android or applie
Answer:	I use Phonos on Windows Phone and it does the job (if you are asking about actual Windows Mobile 6.5, then there is no app for that). The developers have worked very hard on functionality and are constantly improving it. The main shortcoming is the time it takes to connect to the Sonos network. It can take 5-10 seconds to connect which is annoying, oh, and you must remember to be connected to your local network (so turn the Wi-Fi on).Otherwise, Phone works fine and is worth the $4.99. The Android app is better, but you take what you can get.
Question:	if i buy a sonos 3, have wi-fi in my house, and a pandora account I need nothing else to play music? no bridge, no connectors, no nothing
Answer:	Christina is correct. The bridge is small and everything is easy to set up. I will say, in my opinion the Sonos 5 has superior sound quality, but the 3 is certainly adequate. I have 2 5's and one 3. After purchasing the first one with the bridge, adding the other two was as easy as plugging them in and then following the simple software instructions to add them to the group. I play from my Pandora account and also a number of radio stations. Good luck, enjoy!
Question:	can you plug into this device in addition to it being wireless? does it have an audio port
Answer:	There are no line-in jacks on the Play:3. There's an ethernet port, but that's all.

Product features

Stereo sound.

Even if you’re not an all-out audiophile, you still deserve great sound. Play:3 delivers, in stereo. Three Class-D amplifiers and three custom-built drivers create a full, wide sound stage so the instruments and vocals really shine. There’s also a bass radiator to pump out the lows.

Multiple orientations.

Stand it tall or set it on its side. Either way, Play:3 automatically optimizes the sound. When it's horizontal, it's in stereo. When it's vertical, it's in mono. The rubber feet on two sides make it safe for any surface.

User questions & answers

Question:	I like to record from my portable PA (JBL EON210P) w/ RCA & 1/4" output. Is this a good recorder or is there other better options
Answer:	The DP006 is an entry level 4-6 track recorder. It's not a professional board, but it does what it claims to do very well.
Question:	can you record a live performace
Answer:	Absolutely! However your results will depend on the placement of the device. You could record a live performance using either the internal mic or using external mics strategically located. This little unit is pretty diverse in it's application. Results depend on your recording acumen. Which develop over time.
Question:	Can you transfer your recording to a thumb drive
Answer:	You record individual tracks that are then mixed down by you into a stereo mp3 with this same unit. From there, you can do anything with the mp3 file - put it on a thumb drive, email it, upload it, etc. If you are asking "can you go directly to thumb drive?", I don't think there is an easy way. It has an SD card that you can take out and put in any card reader, then you would be able to transfer onto a thumb drive.
Question:	does this need external speakers or are they built in? also what would be a good micraphone to use for i need one further away from the unit
Answer:	It does need some sort of device to output sound. It is equipped for headphones. You can use any mic you like as well as a condenser if you have phantom power capabilities. The onboard mics are good quality as well.
