- In this video, I will show you how to connect a pair of powered studio monitor speakers to your laptop without the need for an audio interface.
The cable I use in the video is a 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4" TS Stereo Breakout Cable below is a link to one on Amazon which should work great

If you would rather get an audio interface I recommend any of the Focusrite Scarlett range of interfaces such as the one at the link below:

Hey, thanks for the video, could u make a comparison between the monitors audio with and without the audio interface ?
please do this req
Best explanation I've seen. Good work!
The audio interface is made to communicate with a D.A.W. (ABELTON, FL, REASON) and allows you to record to a track in the DAW. So if you have a 4 input interface you can record each input into 4 separate tracks in whatever D.A.W. you're using at the same time.
ty for the info
Can I use my equalizer on my computer to get more bass and treble because it's a flat sound at first?
Thanks
I got one of the newer MacBook pros that doesn’t have all the same outlets. Do they sell adapters or something so that I can do this?
Will this work with an I pad instead of the laptop as I run fl mobile on my I pad and would love to be able to connect my studio monitors to my I pad ...?? Plz let me no thanks
Important question please: if I connect the headphone jack via a TRS cable to a SINGLE monitor will I hear the full output of the stereo or will I lose half of it (lose the right speaker output?) Thx much in advance!
does the studio monitor volume decrease when we connect it directly to the pc without sound card ?
I'm having problems finding a dual xlr to 3.5 cable that allows space so I can move speakers apart.. they all are so close together that I cant seperate speakers to do a proper Left and right setup
Just wanted to know,, apart from the interference thing, is quality drop really noticeable with the headphone jack?
The audio quality is the same from the headphones to the inbuilt speakers to the monitors.
@@darrenhirst9900 thx
is it possible to connect your monitor speakers to pc without an audio interface but with xlr?
Hey! Yeah you should be able to get this to work with a cable such as this (double check it is a male xlr conection on your speakers but it is on my yamaha hs7s www.amazon.com/TISINO-Stereo-Breakout-Double-Cords/dp/B07K58L9MW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=xlr+to+3.5mm+y+cable&qid=1606334678&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQ1ZHUURZT0dRMTQmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTEwMzQyMTVTM0FNRDFCQ0tRSjImZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDgwODk0NE04RVVYWjNPWUFWMyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Actually laptop already have sound card it just not all laptop have premium dedicated sound card
I only have one monitor can i connect with a 6 cable and with 6 to 3cm adapter?
Hi, yes, make sure it is stereo to stereo like this one amzn.to/2Y7XThF and it should work
@@Tunelighting can i have the 6.35 cable and an 3.5 adapter or should i get the 6.35 to 3.5 cable?
Yep that will work too
@@innovate_eco will there be any latency issues
I tried this and got an odd result. The only way it would work (correctly) was if I panned the computer output fully to the left or right. If the output was centered, the speaker only outputs the difference between the left and right channels. I believe it's because the cable, as described, acts as an unbalanced stereo, where the monitor input is expecting a balanced mono input.
I didn't understand very well, help
Really not difficult
Hello, Pretty new to all this. I got some JBL LSR305's from a friend that Im trying to connect to an Echo Dot (3.5mm Audio output).
Notes:
The 2 Studio Monitors have a Balanced XLR and TRS 1/4 Inch each.
The output of the Echo Dot or Macbook 3.5mm (unbalanced im assuming?).
I found some options i think will work:
1. Option A
2 x 1/8 to 1/4 TRS Stereo Cable and 3.5mm Audio Y Splitter Stereo (3.5mm to 2 x 3.5mm)

and
www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00LM0ZGK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
2. Option B
1 x 3.5mm TRS to Dual 6.35mm TS Y Splitter Breakout Cord, 1/8 inch Male Stereo to Dual 1/4 Mono Male
www.amazon.ca/Devinal-6-35mm-Splitter-Breakout-Stereo/dp/B07QBF6X2K/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=1%2F8+to+1%2F4+cable&qid=1606616014&sr=8-14
The difference is the end going into the Monitors is TS vs TRS. Not sure what would be best.
Thank you in Advance!
What optione did you take ?
You didn't show how the cables plug into the cord for the laptop
