Can someone tell me if these speakers will work for a computer. They are sold by Newegg under computer speakers but I dont see how they connect or how they get power.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6836196006

I have a cheap Sounblaster Audigy SE that I paid $20 for at Wal-Mart, I also have onboard audio. It says stereo rca inputs for soundcards but my soundcard does not have rca inputs and they also say unpowered, so how would this work with a soundcard?

Thanks


Magnetic shielding and compact size make these speakers perfect for placement near video monitors or computer displays.

Behringer MS16 Active Personal Monitor System Features:

* Compact stereo speaker system ideally suited for home studios, multimedia applications, keyboard and vocal monitoring etc.
* Powerful 4" woofers and high-resolution tweeters powered by two 8-Watt amplifiers
* Dedicated volume, bass and treble controls for more flexibility
* Stereo RCA inputs for sound cards, keyboards etc. that can be used simultaneously with second stereo source (e.g. CD/MD player) through 1/8" TRS stereo input
* Separately adjustable 1/4" TRS microphone input mixable with stereo inputs for playback and vocal monitoring applications
* 1/8" TRS headphone connector with auto-mute loudspeaker function

RCA male to 3,5mm jack, don't know the original name but they're called that here. I check google for the 1/8" and also looked up a pic for ya. http://www.cablesdirect.com/prodimages/CC399-25_LR.jpg

Altho these are monitors. Monitors can't be compared to a logitech set. If you want the real deal buy a stereo amp and see what speakers you like at any local hi-fi dealer.

Do a google search for the speakers themselves and see what cables come with them and how they're powered - the picture on Newegg doesn't show anything.

Immature kiddy replies is what I expected. That's about all that roam these forums anymore. Anybody with some actual technical knowledge of music monitors?

Use RCA to jack cables and they will fit.

From Behringer's website

http://www.behringer.com/EN/Produc [...] eaturelist

There is a a link on the page to download the manual. Info on connections is there.

They have built-in amplification so they should work with almost anything.

Thanks guys, these look like pretty decent speakers to replace my failing 2.1 logitechs.

So I need to find a RCA male to 1/8TRS, whatever that is?

Two stereo line inputs (RCA and 1/8" TRS) allow simultaneous use of two stereo sources, so you can play back CDs, MDs or MP3s and use an electric guitar/keyboard at the same time

Thanks supersnicker. I was searching for 1/8, not 3.5mm. Thanks for the pic too.
