Considering using as a monitor for small school programs. What cable(s) do I need to hook it up to our soundboard? What kind of input for the mics?

We use this model as a monitor when playing at restaurants and wine bars and it works great for this. All three mic inputs are combination 1/4" and XLR, so you can use either type of cable. The output to go to a mixer/soundboard is XLR, but you can get an adapter if you need another type of input to the board.

It takes standard XLR cabling to and from the board, and to/from the mic(s). It will also accept Speakon cable ends, but I just use the XLR. If you want to daisy chain it to another and pass through this, you can only use XLR. Check out the close up pictures, you can tell from the details.

Works with either XLR or 1/4" cables. There's also a "cd/tape in" using phono plugs.

You should only need to power it up and feed the "XLR through output" from your mix board into one of the XLR inputs on the front this amp. If you're plugging in mics they should be XLR balanced mics for best results.

You need something that supplies the mic with Phantom Power and connects to your PC via USB. I would use something like a "MXL MICMATE PRO XLR To USB Preamp with gain". Then, you need a PC with a sound card that can handle the quality you require and an internet connection that can broadcast (upload) the amount of kbps you are wanting to send. Good Luck and happy recording!

I am running all my sound through a sound board first. You should have the correct inputs and outputs to use this. I will say that it is quite a good piece of equipment for the price. I am also using pyle-pro monitors which were also excellent value.

There is an XLR version (connect to computer via audio interface), and a USB version, connect directly to the computer. Based on how you are going to use it, I highly recommend the XLR version. Pick up a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, a good mike cable and mic stand all for around $300, (new)-- you'll be very happy with the results!

I just bought this monitor and wanted audio too. What do I have to do to get audio?

I use a XLR x XLR cable to connect to my board. Or you can use a 1/4" x 1/4" cable. These can also be had from Amazon for an inexpensive price. I have been using them for over a year now and I love them. Easy to set up and sound great.

If I were you I'd first make sure that your monitor supports HDCP. Otherwise it's probably not going to work. If it does support it, it will be a simple plug and play HOWEVER you will need a surround sound or some similar a/v system to output your audio to. most monitors do not have a way to play sound at all. Most cable boxes have component out (red/white plugs basic audio) and optical audio (smallish square port with flap that has best audio).

If you are connecting your monitor through a HDMI to VGA adapter, it should be one that has the audio split out to an audio jack. You can plug your speakers into that jack.

Yes, it should do the job, if the monitor doesnt have built in speakers, you will need external speakers for the sound though.

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

This is a standard low impedance analog output. You will need a soundcard with a microphone preamp commonly called an interface. For example, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2

If the monitor is a desk setup, I would use an USB to DVI adapter. This works for conference room projection in my mind.

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways.Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

I use M-Audio AV30 monitors with them. They are built very well, much better than I expected. They weigh quite a bit too. Solid steel construction. I am very happy with them and I would recommend them. Hope the info helps.

The line outs can go to powered speakers (a decent pair of 'studio' monitors will cost at least $100), to an audio interface on your computer, or to an old-style stereo receiver. The line outs will NOT work with unpowered speakers.

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi.does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.
