IPod's Output Power?

Can't find any info about iPod's (Nano and Touch) output power (in mW).
Please, help!

I don't believe Apple makes that information available, but it is safe to say the output power is very low, probably around 30 to 100 mW at most. Just as important, the output is almost certainly optimized for headphones like Apple's own earbuds, so you won't get much power for loads much greater than 32 ohms nominal impedance.
Also, FWIW Apple hasn't been noted for providing a particularly high quality headphone amplifier signal path in older iPods but it may be paying more attention to this in newer designs. At one point, only the Shuffle featured a direct coupled output, which produced noticeably better bass response (cleaner, tighter sound, not just more bass), but now seems to be moving away from the inferior capacitively coupled output on at least some other models.

    Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

    The iPod charger is only 5W.
    The iPad 2 needs a 10W charger.
    It will charge slower and hotter.

  • N96 audio output power

    i searched everywere and i didn't found the output power of the n96
    i thing it's a big mistake don't apear in the specs. it's very important. 
     if some one could help me i appreciate.
    something that for me would be better.. the sound should up and down 5 points when using the speaker(not 10)..like when we are using the headphones...
    thanks

    When you say output power do you mean the how loud the headphones are, ie Volume?
    Because the handset is of European design it has to conform with European Legislation, one country in Europe says that there is a maximum volume output a device can produce from its headphones.
    You will find that most devices including European Models of the Apple iPod etc will also conform to this limitation. As Apple is a US company they make devices with and without the limit for EU and Non EU countries however as Nokia is based in the EU all their devices carry this restriction.

    I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

  • IPod will not power up. Computer will not recogize, and will not sync.

    It was working fine until I advanced music track. Received a low battery notice, and it went dark...The battery had been fully charges earlier. I can't get the computer to even recognize it, or charge, or anything. It just seems dead. Any ideas guys...???
    Thank you...!!!

    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

  • IPod screen illuminates but no image; iPod won't power off

    iPod hard drive whirrs and screen illuminates, but no image (text or other) appears. iPod won't power off. iPod is recognized by iTunes only when in disk mode. Multiple restores were useless in restoring the screen function. Tools such as Disk Utility and Disk Warrior verified the directories were satisfactory. Can't locate a hardware diagnostic tool that can diagnose an iPod; and because the screen is malfunctioning, I can't run the iPod's built-in diagnostic routines.
    Any solutions, or is this iPod destined for the repair shop?

    If your iPod will not power off, unplug it from any power supply and wait for it to run the battery down completely. Then it will power off simply because there is not enough power to keep it running. (It may take 24 hours to do this.) Once this has happened, plug the iPod back into your computer. After about 30 minutes, you should see the "Please wait, very low battery" message. After a while longer, the iPod will have enough power and should reset itself. If not, re-post, but see below.
    At the bottom of your post you state that you have a 30GB video iPod. In that case, if you need to re-post, it would be better in the 5th generation iPod forum, (either 5th generation or 5th gen late - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for more information) as there will be posts from owners of the same model as you have, and with the same problems.

  • MuVo2 (1,5G): Can I Use output power only (not install the battery) when I listen the mus

    Hi Sir:
    When I am in home and listen the music on MuVo2 ,can I use output power only (AC power) and remove the battery ( the battery is not in the MuVo2)?
    This is good to the MuVo2 or not ? (have any damange?)
    Because I always use the MuVo2 in my home, I think to charge AC into the battery, and use it until in low battery , then charge again.. It seem to a little stupid....
    Can I use AC(output power) only when I listen the music ? and remove the AC(output power) when I close/shut down the MuVo2 ? ( I know , the usermanual say it is not good to MuVo2 if AC(output power) "always on" the MuVo2 even it's shutdown.)
    I saw in the usermanual there will be a little image indicate the MuVo2 is "output power only".... So can I use output power only or not ? Is it good to MuVo2?
    Thanks a lot !!
    ( Your product is great~!)
    B/R, Richard

    Richard,
    Yes, you can use the player on the AC outlet only if you want, that's fine.

  • How to reduce Hub 3 output POWER?

    I use my laptop in the same room (~5m) as the router and wondered if there was a way of reducing the output power from the Hub 3 antenna, which has a range of ~40m?  I have two young children in the room and am concerned about wi-fi signal levels.  A colleague mentioned that he can reduce the output power of his APPLE router easily.  Is there a similar option for the Hub 3 BT product?  I realise that if I do not have the laptop switched on, i.e. no activity, then the power level drops automatically, which is a great feature.  Thanks,  Fred.

    There is no facility to reduce power apart from the power save option which turns the WiFi off.
    The maximum power allowed by WiFi is 100mW (100 milliwatts) which is very small. If you are concerned about WiFi, then it would be better to turn it off, and connect to your laptop using an Ethernet cable.
    You can extend the Ethernet port of the hub by using Powerline adapters. Which use the mains wiring to carry the data.

  • WAP321-E-K9/max RF output power of 802.11a?

    Does the WAP 321-E-K9 (as 5GHZ frequency) supports the 802.11a?
    If yes, please specify exactly the output power transmission in dBm?
    Is it possible to have the 5GHZ frequency that not support the 802.11a? Because in the technical sheet of the WAP 321-E-K9 there is no specifications about the output power transmission (dBm) of the 802.11a standards ( only 802.11b/n/g are specified) ?

    Hi commercial7,
    I hope this helps:
    From the product documentation on the WAP321-E-K9 it appears that the WAP only supports 802.11b/g/n protocols. 802.11a (5GHz) is a legacy protocol that was outdated with the release of 802.11n (2.4/5GHz). While WAPs that use 802.11n are backwards compatible (support 802.11a/b/g devices), WAPs that use 802.11a won't support devices that use newer protocols. 
    According to the WAP321 Wireless-N documentation, transmitted output power: 802.11n @ HT20HT40, MCS15: 13 dBm
    Also according to the WAP321 Wireless-N documentation, receiver sensitivity: 802.11n: 300 Mbps @ -64 dBm. Since 802.11n should support 802.11a, you may want to check the hardware specifics for the 802.11a device you are trying to connect with.
    Does this answer your question?

  • HT1430 What is the output power,      when using a portable batteries that the iPad need to charge up??

    What is the output power needed to charge a iPad,  when using a portable battery?
    Will 2.1A output work?
    Thanks

    The wall charger which comes with the ipad is a 10 watt charger, it's current is 2A, voltage is 5v. 2x5=10 w.
    2.1Ax5v = 10.5w.

    Hi,  
    This is Marcus from Application Engineering at National Instruments.  I have reviewed over your math and you are correct in your calculations.  To determine the power output of your PXI-5422 you will have to know the Vpp which you are using and also the load that you will be connecting to the device.  These factors will then determine the power output of your PXI-5422.

  • HH v2.0 output power
