New to setting up speakers...

[tina-duncan]

Greetings!

I recently bought a pair of passive monitors as part of my attempt at a mini home studio and will admit I do not know the first thing about hooking them up.

the monitors in question are R6 Studio Monitor Speaker KRK SYSTEMS


I have a small mixer that I use as my main interface between my computer and instruments/mics which has an RCA output that I would like to connect my monitors to, however I am concerned that it will not be enough to power the monitors and it is my understanding I may need a power amp?

My mixer is Behringer: XENYX 302USB

could someone perhaps point me in the right direction as to how to set this up, what wiring/connections I will need and power amps if necessary?

Many thanks,
Tina

Yes, passive monitors require a power amp. It most likely would have RCA input jacks, then either wired terminals, or banana clips or SpeakOn connectors for the speakers.

If I may be so bold as to suggest: Emotiva UPA200

Or if you really need to keep it in the uber-low budget: Emotiva Mini-X100
