looking for a speaker wire adapter

[.:Wyze Loc:.]

ive own a pair of of studio monitors and im looking for a adaptor for the red/black speaker connectors to make em go to a 1/4" output jack.
do these even exist?
please help

[bennychico11]

are the studio monitors activer per chance??

what are you trying to plug into the speakers?

[petermiller]

if they are binding post type with the correct spacing you are talking about a bannana connector to a TS female adaptor
whirlwind makes one called ( AD1) if you are talking about push terminals which is more often the case on monitors then you will need bare end wire to 1/4 ts female which you can make. If you are not so inclined then just get an AD1 and cut off the bannana and put that end into the push terminals. Planet waves make a split bannana end cable if the spacing is not standard.

Those arent really studio monitors but what are you tryin to connect it to? More than likely they need to go to an amp. Man just use speaker wire. If its bananna clip then get the speaker cables from Radioshack they have color coded dual pin plugs on each end.

Those are just really cheap PA speakers. You will need a PA amplifier. DO NOT try to feed 1000 watts rms into these things, you will blow them up. In fact, as soon as you get them, put them back up on ebay. If you paid more than $50 for the pair, you got ripped off.

These things are good for small (very small) DJ rigs or maybe vocal monitors for your rehearsal space, but that's about it.

[.:Wyze Loc:.]

ok i had a feeling i got ripped off man...thanx

[misscc803]

Man when ever in doubt ask. They will tell u ne thing just to make a sale. I remember seeing those one time before and I was like yeah right people.

yer it says you can get refunded if your not happy. dont be happy with them.
If you were going to use them you would need to buy a power amp.
Also you can see he is selling the exact same speakers just 500 watts this time and the title is "Pro DJ speakers PA" so they arent studio monitors at all and i bet you that they boost the bass so it wont be accurate. Refund them, you dont need 1000 watts .. get KRK active Rokits if you need monitors, you will be able to get them at the same price and they are powered/active so you wont need an amp.

yea i was trying to return them but they said ill only get back what i paid for em and i wont get the shipping back

can i sue for false advertising?

It would cost you more than the shipping charge.

Are those the "modern" version of white-van speakers?

[Farview]

The white van speakers used to look nice, these don't.

[.:Wyze Loc:.]

white van?
so ive been scammed..damn how did these guys become power sellers on eBay
well i guess im goin back to musiciansfriend.com
...so these speakers are useless?

[Farview]

They are PA speakers, if you need monitors for rehearsals, you can use them.

[.:Wyze Loc:.]

really i just need em to listen to my tracks

[.:Wyze Loc:.]

hey since these are PA speakers, then can i hook em up to a home audio receiver and then connect the recevier to my mobile pre?

Yes, but you would probably be better off using the speakers that came with the stereo.
PA speakers are made to throw sound. They don't sound good, they sound annoyingly loud, honky and strident. These are useless unless you don't have normal stereo speakers to use.

[misscc803]

You come out better saleing them locally b/c u never get shipping and handling back when sending an item back inless it didnt work and they dont have ne more in stock or they are refunding u b/c they never shipped out. I say sale locally take that money and go buy you some decent monitors. You paid like what $40 total for the monitors? If so man u could sale them for more locally b/c if u return them u only getting 0.01 cent back which aint a good thing. Think about it. Thats why they have that big thing about return policy they know people gonna send them back and people be winnin them speakers for like 0.01 or 5.00 so u get shitted and then even shitted more when u ask for a refund.

Take my advice or leave it. Up to you.

[.:Wyze Loc:.]

alrite yall, thanx for the advice

[.:Wyze Loc:.]

ok
hey i guess these speakers i have arent self powered...because i hooked them up to my stereo and they worked

[Minion]

Well from looking at the auction (if that was your actual auction) it looks like you got them for 1 cent + shipping which I guess isn"t a Bad deal if you needed some PA speakers but as for useing them as Studio Monitors I wouldn"t use them for that....

So if you did get them for 1 cent I guess you didn"t really get Ripped off, You could probably use them for Car stereo speakers.....If you got rid of the Piezeo tweeters and put in some non piezeo tweeters you might get a better sound but it still wouldn"t be good enough for Studio monitors.....

Anytime you see Monitors with a Piezeo tweeter you know it is not going to sound good as peizeo"s sound very Tinny and have a Bad Ringing sound that comes from them so try to stay away from Peizeo"s....

Cheers
