- A: AnswerHello maehem, Great question! The Sony XG500 uses a DC 20 V (using the supplied AC adaptor connected to AC 100 V - 240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz power supply) AC adaptor (AC-E2040U) + AC power cord (mains lead) are included in the box. Hope this helps, Regards, Sam
Answered by SonyListens
- A: AnswerHi KMS, Thank you for reaching out! We only recommend using the supplied AC adapter and power cord (mains lead) since we cannot guarantee the operation of a non-Sony AC power cord. You can purchase a replacement AC adapter and power cord through our authorized parts distributor (Encompass). Unfortunately, due to the current Bestbuy phishing protocol for your protection, we cannot provide a direct email or phone number for Encompass as of now. Please find Sony Electronics' Support information: Go to our support website > click on “Support” > scroll down click on “Contact Support” > click on [Product Type] and from there you'll see different ways to reach us.

Q: QuestionDoes this have a built-in mic for hands free phone operations?(3 answers)
A: AnswerHi Tcb05, Good question! Unfortunately, It doesn't have a built-in mic for hands-free calling function. If you're looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that supports hands-free calling, I'd recommend checking out the SRSXB33 and XB43 speaker. 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. Plus, with a durable exterior, an IP66 Water-resistant, and Dustproof rating, 30-hour battery life, and an easy-to-hold handle, you can take it almost wherever you want to go. Regards, SamAnswered by SonyListens

Q: QuestionCan this be paired with the SRS-XB31? Is there any type of mount for outside use?(3 answers)
A: AnswerAny Sony speaker with Stereo Pair or Party Connect will connect to this speaker. You will need the Sony Music Center app to do this. I am sure this can be done manually but would have to research. I have 2 xb23’s connected to it and the sound is amazing.Answered by Technoggen
