arright i just got a new set off Wharfedale 8.2 Active Monitors

they came with 2 power cables...but i need to plug them into my Emu 1820

what cables should i get?
 
One of the goofy things about the 1820 is it's speaker outs are all 1/8" mini plugs, as if it's assuming you're going to be using it with computer desktop speakers only. So you're going to need to go from 1/4" TRS balanced on the Wharfes to 1/8" mini unbalanced on the E-MU. Get a quality (for each channel) a 1/4" TRS male to 1/4" TRS male cable, and hit your local Radio Shack for the most efficient adapetr or adapter combo to translate 3-conductor 1/4" down to 2-conductor mini plugs.

I have my active monitors plugged into 4L and 4R on the back of the dock.

1/4"(EMU 1820) to XLR(speaker)

Always have had it this way.
I also use the Patchmix Default which setup the software routing.
 
I don't know, its just a standard XLR with the 3-ring 1/4" plug. TRS I think some call it.

You probably have standard Nuetriks on the monitors, so you could just do with speaker cable, with 1/4"plugs? I don't think you have to have 3 wire...either.

There is something to do with the low and higher impedance of cables, so get speaker cables not guitar cables, is my understanding.
 
i got the monitors workin.....how do i controll the volume in patchmix?
 
on the mixer on the lower right, there's a mute (which I use all the time between my headphones and monitors).

then the Main output sliders you can figure out pretty much by just messing about.

enjoy...
