Is there another way to hook these speakers to the monitor/receiver besides direct contact, is there a monitor/receiver on the market that can be used

these are standard passive speakers and they can only be hooked directly to a home a receiver for signal and power.

after you connect your computer to the receiver, then connect this set to the receiver just like other speakers. There is no special connection for this set or anything.

I never hooked up the monitors internal speaker. Your computer is driving the the sound so stick to the better quality you get from your three speakers.

I hear the sound through my external speakers, which I configured it this way. You can use the built-in speakers or both. I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know Thanks. KRM

Hi Ben, believe it or not, you don't even need a receiver for these speakers because they have on-board amp and EQ. This means you don't need the "middle man". You can go directly from your music source to the speaker, or you can go from your music source, to a mixer, and from the mixer to the speakers. These are active speakers, which means they do not need a powered channel, all they need is the audio signal and the speakers do the rest. These speakers make an absolutely badass home-theater setup. I have a pair of XLR-to-RCA speaker cords and I just plug the RCA end into the red/white(L/R) output channels on my Blu-ray, plug the XLR into my mixer, then run a cord to each speaker and press play. If your receiver has a set of RCA outputs, I don't see why you couldn't use these in place of normal satellite speakers. Awesome sound quality, AMAZING volume and bass. Hell, sometimes I even plug my mp3 player directly into the speaker using a 1/8"-to-1/4" converter plug and crank it up. All I need is music, and a power outlet and I'm set. Honestly, I have replaced every speaker I've ever had with just one set of these JBL's. I use them for everything(Home theater, music listening, studio monitors, amplifying musical instruments, mobile dj-ing, etc..). Just buy them man, you'll be happy :)

Hi Dallas, the speakers are prewired with special ends so they can only connect to the receiver/player

Yes - you can hook them up using an XLR cable. You'll need an XLR cable that is male on one side and female on the other. On the back of the speakers there is an "input" and "output" XLR jack. Whichever speaker has your original input (microphone, sound input, etc.) will carry that sound over (using the output XLR jack) over to the "input" XLR jack of the 2nd speaker.

I'm not sure these can be hooked up with computer terminals. Not sure. I would call Klipsch directly.

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

They do not plug directly into a computer. I have an audio interface (in my case, an Avid Rack 11), which interfaces with the monitors. I'm sure there are plenty of ways to accomplish an interface, but the monitors do not plug directly into a computer.

Just use the in and out jacks on the back of the speakers. Out from the speaker connected to source in to additional speaker.

There non powered regular speakers that need to be powered by a receiver. I have them and they sound great!

In order to use these speakers you need to buy a stereo receiver. There are many available. I bought a Yamaha rxv 373, w two Pyle pcb3bk speakers and spent less than $200. I already owned a JBL Northridge e series 10 inch 150 watt subwoofer from a previous application. W these purchases combined, I have a really nice system for minimal $ Once you have these things in place you then use a hdmi cable to connect the receiver to the TV.

Just use speaker cable to hook up to receiver/amplifier. Speakers draw power from amplifier so no power cable needed.

My speakers hook to an amp, that has the same connects as the speakers, so I used regular speaker wire. If yours has jacks, I have used cables that had the proper jack, and cut of the jacks on the opposite end, to hook the speaker.

I hadn't yet heard mine, and your question got me curious, so I got mine working (had to go into the monitor's menu and switch the sound input to HDMI first in case anyone else runs into this issue) . They are a nice addition for an office worker who just needs basic sound, but I wouldn't recommend playing music on these, as they don't have the bass, depth or richness of sound needed to enjoy music. I am still using my 10+ year old Altec Lansing computer speakers, and they still sound awesome. I see that you can buy a new set on Amazon with a sub-woofer for about $60 (Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker), and I would definitely recommend a pair like this to compliment this "gorgeous" monitor! I am still SO happy with this monitor, and I hope NEC continues to make it, as I will stick with them for life if so. The picture is awesome, and I LOVE the semi-gloss! Ok....I'll stop about the monitor now, hehe. :-D

Refer to page 8 of the instruction book. My son connected the speakers for me. If the book instruction is not enough Best Buy offer a connection service.
