Is it possible to hook a laptop up to these speakers? What cord would I need?

These speakers just have connectors to hook up stereo wire from an amplifier to the speakers. They are not designed for use with a computer - It may be possible to do so, however, but you would probably need to have an amplifier between the speakers and the computer.

Yes, through a integrated amplifier or receiver with sufficient wattage to power these speakers. The laptop by itself would have insufficient power.

Yes, it's possible but you won't hear much. These speakers, and most others, are designed to be driven by a fair amount of audio as from a tuner or amplifier. The output from a laptop is designed for headphones or a small amp to drive, for instance, the speakers in an iPod dock. Power these speakers with sufficient drive and they'll let you hear stuff you didn't even know was there.... I love mine! Good luck, JC

You will need a cable with a male XLR plug on the speaker side and most likely a male 3.5mm stereo plug for the computer side.

You can hook it up to a laptop but NOT directly. Gotta get a special wire that connects to a laptop to a radio/amplifier that connects to the speakers

Only the output jacks on the front and rear. I've only seen laptops with built-in speaker systems. There are a lot of good inexpensive (&lt;$30) speaker systems available. Search Amazon or a auction site with free S&H for "computer speakers subwoofer system". Read this Amazon review, it may help you:

Yes, just plug the sound cord into the headphone plugin in the computer and the VGA cord into the computer plugin. You can also attach the sound cord to a set of speakers the same way.

Pretty sure you can just use an RCA to 1/8" adapter to connect sound coming from a computer. Never tried it but since the E8's have RCA out, this solution seems reasonable.

No audio outlet because speakers are built in.USB connection that you much change your sound output destination each time you switch back to your laptop speakers.

On the back of the speaker there are two RCA ports. (Red and white) so yes you can connect to the laptop but the cable would have to be a RCA to a 3.5mm Headphone jack wire. What I did is a bought a bluetooth adapter that also had the two RCA ports and conected it to the speakers so I could connect my laptop, phone or any other bluetooth device.

These are not powered speakers. You need an amplifier. So these are definitely not meant to be hooked up to a computer.

You would have to have a separate audio cable. If your laptop has a mini (1/8") headphone out, you can use a mini to rca, or whatever your audio input would require.

yes, of course you can use these with a laptop. the inputs are digital or analog (mini or stereo rca)

yes, you just need the appropriate cable to go from your computer to the speaker. We have a set of these at a municipal football field that we use for announcements in between quarters we play music from an iPad

These speakers are powered, which means you can connect them directly to a computer/laptop without first connecting them to a receiver/amplifier. Unlike computer speakers, you will need to purchase an audio cable separately. If you only have one speaker, you will want a cable that is 1/8" (3.5mm) TRS to single 1/4" TS or XLR because that cable will combine right and left stereo channels so you hear both through the single speaker. If you have two speakers, you will want a cable that is 1/8" (3.5mm) TRS to dual 1/4" TS or dual XLR.

The best option would be to get a usb interface. You can find a decent one for around $100. Then you could just get a couple 1/4" TRS cables and run those from the speakers to the interface, then connect the interface to your computer with usb.

You can plug it into your laptop's headphone jack (assuming it has one). However - my laptop has a crappy built-in sound card, so the audio quality was bad. I ended up getting a USB sound card (about $50) and plugged the speakers into that - much better. I'd say try it straight in first and see if you are OK with the sound.

Hi! The speakers just connect with a USB cable so if you have a laptop or a newer version ofa Samsung charger you can just connect it to that. Computer stores will probably sell a plug with a USB connection in it. Hope this helps! ☆

Of course! Just plug it into the jack on the side of the laptop. They have a long cord too so it even better. Really good bass too
