Although these are being marketed as computer speakers, I see no stereo mini plug input. Do the speakers only have RCA phono plug connectors?

External Audio Input (RCA/Phono) A stereo RCA-type input is located on the rear of the left speaker. This is an unbalanced input that is common with a majority of consumer level home audio electronics. The RCA-type input can be connected to a computer or portable device using a ⅛" stereo mini-to-RCA audio cable speaker system. The volume control knob controls both the Main Stereo Input and `Aux In'.

The stereo mini plug input is on the front of the "powered speaker" ( the one with volume control) under the headphone jack, on the right side.

If the speaker has a stereo mini-jack Aux input, you can buy a stereo RCA to mini-plug cable. They are really easy to find and they come in different lengths; you then connect the mini-plug to the Aux input of the speaker and the RCAs to the output of the Pre-Amp.

They have two "phono plug" l/r inputs. You can adapt to any type of connector. I thought a standard turntable had phono plugs however also needs a amp/booster of some sort to boost the output to the amp. If your turntable has a way of getting a good signal out then you should be able to adapt to the phono plug on the speakers. The photo should sound great once connected.

These speakers take copper speaker wire; so in order to use them with a PC, you would need an amplifier that can take 1/8 inch stereo input, such as the Lepai Tripath TA2020. From the PC to the amplifier, you would need a male-to-male 1/8inch stereo cable, and from the amplifier to the speakers, you would need standard copper speaker wire.

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

Yes. They are NOT self powered speakers such as you would have when connecting to computer or iphone. They are traditional speaker that connects to a stereo or AV reciever. Of course you could buy an additional mini amp to use with them so could connect up a phone or midi source but that a whole other piece of equipment and topic.

RCA inputs on the subwoofer requiring a male plug. If you use a computer a stereo mini for the computer. It came with the cables needed.

I believe you're looking for this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10218&cs;_id=1021804&p;_id=665&seq;=1&format;=2It would let you plug the turntable into anything that has one of those headphone jack-sized audio inputs (for example 99.9% of the computers on the market have those inputs, and also a lot of stereos). Otherwise, yes, they do make speakers that have standard RCA plugs, but why buy new speakers when you likely have a stereo or computer with speakers attached to them already :)

Unfortunately not. Those are powered from the computer itself, these have an external ac port and a speaker plug (3.5mm or whatever the standard is now)

These speakers require a stereo amplifier and cannot be connected directly to your computer. They are wonderful speakers. I understand that there is a newer model that is even better.

I do not believe so. They are designed to plug in to a computer using mini phono plugs. If your component stereo accepts those types of plugs it probably would work.

Each speaker has two inputs: unbalanced RCA and balanced 1/4" TRS. From your computer, you will likely use the RCA connectors. Depending on your computer's sound card, the other side would be another RCA or a miniplug.

I see nothing marked 'phono' inputs, but there are left and right analog RCA type inputs. You may be able to hook up a phonograph turntable to them, but it may require a pre amp. There are PDF manuals online for this receiver. HH

These are passive speakers...meaning they are not self-powered. So no, they do not accept RCA plugs. They have 5-way binding posts that will accept bare wires, banana plugs, pins, etc.

If I recall correctly - these came with the cords , and yes, speakers plug in like any computer speakers - from the audio jack to computer, and a line (RCA) to the other stereo side - I think your wondering if they are USB driven? they are not - hope this helps

No, these speakers get power from a USB port and source input from a hard wired auxiliary cable. There are no other inputs or outputs
