QuestionI set my speaker to only charge to 90% to save its battery. Is it bad for the speaker/ battery to leave it plugged in all the time? It’s mostly at the house so I’ve been leaving it on the charger.
Asked 3 years ago by Cocomoo.
- Answer Leaving it plugged in wont hurt it as it performs a hare better with ac power than its battery. From what i researched.

QuestionMaybe a far out question, but I like keeping track of my investments and being so portable, I feel like this could be easy for someone to steal. Is there anywhere this could store an apple AirTag for tracking?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I can see your concerns on tracking purposes but no safe place to stick a tracker without being removed by thief. Youd practicly gotta tear it apart just to plant a tag on this beast.

Asked 3 years ago by Ian.

QuestionWhat is the voltage output on the speaker
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi there, Thanks for inquiring about the XG500. The power voltage requirement is DC 20 V (using the supplied AC adaptor connected to AC 100 V - 240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz power supply). The combination of the X-Balanced Speaker Unit, High-efficiency Tweeter, and passive radiators deliver a crisp and clear sound whether you’re listening in an indoor space or outside. Plus, with a durable exterior, an IP66 Water-resistant and Dustproof rating (Dustproof and Water-resistant are effective only when the cap is closed), up to 30-hour battery life, and an easy-to-hold handle, you can take it almost wherever you want to go. Regards, Jess

- Answer Hi there, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this is not a public specification at this time. I would reach out to the airport you are traveling with to see what restrictions are actually in place. Hope this helps! The SRS-XG500 is perfect for taking a powerful sound outside. The combination of the X-Balanced Speaker Unit, High-efficiency Tweeter, and passive radiators deliver a crisp and clear sound whether you’re listening in an indoor space or outside.

QuestionI noticed that this speaker can be used as a guitar amp. Can it also be used as a bass amp?
Asked 3 years ago by Drewdog.
- Answer Hi Drewdog, thanks for your inquiry. As long as your bass guitar can output to ¼” it should be fine. Make sure you start with the volume all the way down on the bass guitar and slowly increase to find the best settings. Regards, Sam
