Monitors Part II

[thevo711]

Thanks for all of the answer on why I need monitor speakers. It seems that the general consensus is that I should be hooking them up to the sound card. Now I know I have a crappy sound card, SBLive, so my next question is, do monitors use the same type of cables that my computer speakers use ? I mean, I only have a 1/8" output out of my soundcard form my speakers now, will I be able to hook up monitors to these ?

Thanks, Vo

I would invest in a (small) mixer... It just makes things easier.

all sound cards have different output jacks some are 1/8 most of the more expensive sound cards are 1/4 and rca

All you have to do is..... purchase or make a cable that is 1/8" stereo male on one end and dual 1/4" mono males on the other end.
