I need help connecting my new studio monitors.

[brandmansam]

I just bought a pair of studio monitors and now I wanna hook them up with my Audio Interface. The problem is that I have no idea how to do it the correct way so I'm hoping someone could help me.

I'm using the Zoom R8 as a A/I and here's a picture of the output jacks.

I bought the Behringer MS40 studio monitors and here's a picture of their jacks.

So,
It'd be nice if someone could tell me how to do it since I can't figure it out myself.

Buy one of these


and one of these



The first cable red+white plug into the zoom L+R outputs.

The combined end goes to 'stereo in' on the monitor speaker.

The other cable goes between the two speakers at the jacks labelled to and from.








Alternatively, you can use these between zoom and speakers.

Use the same outputs from the zoom, but red+white go to red+white 'line2' on the speakers.
You'd still use the same cable to go between the two speakers.

OKay, I'll try that.
Thank you.

No problem. Best of luck.

Just check that the 'to' and 'from' jacks are definitely RCA. (same as the 'coaxial' port)

It's hard to tell from the pics, but i'm 99% sure they are.

The cable that goes between the speakers is included with the speakers but apparently there is no cable included to hook up the speakers with an audio source. I guess I'll have to buy one of the two options of cables you linked tomorrow.

Ok, cool. I guess that makes sense.
