Wait, im confused... where do i plug in the XLR cables? This can't go into my audio interface and the speaker itself at the same time... help???

I used the 1/4" inputs instead. Although I did run the xlr's from the outs of my board for awhile.

You should be able to plug into both without issue... unless your audio interface doesn't have XLR input output on it.

I'm assuming you mean that your interface does not have XLR Jacks? You'll probably need a couple balanced XLR to TRS cables. Like this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BPBQXM5/

you need to get two XLR to 1/4 inch cables to go into your audio interface. you can get them cheap on amazon, or call up guitar center- they can help you more and i'm sure they'd have them.

You most likely need trs cables. XLR cables are generally used for microphones.

The best answer I can give is that first you need to make sure as someone else said is that the plugs are in the right holes. On mine the red plug went to the mike and the black one went to the speakers. Next you need to check the volume control on the headphones and your computer. If that doesn't work then there is something wrong with them.

I bought this a few months ago but have so far not been able to connect as it has no RCA connections. Should get XLR cables soon, so if you are not in a hurry, I can give you some feed back shortly (next 2 weeks)

Simple answer. If your speakers are powered speakers, then you simply connect XLR speaker cable(s) from the "Main Output" jacks on the back of the mixer directly into the XLR input jacks on the back of the speakers. If your speakers are not powered (i.e., passive speakers), then you will need to connect the Main Output cable(s) from the mixer to an amplifier first (such as a powered mixer or head). Then connect speaker cables from amplifier's speaker outputs into the input jacks on the speakers.

I use a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface, with balanced XLR to XLR cables - very quiet. What are you connecting to the monitors? Make sure you are using quality cable(s) as well.

You need a regular mic cable (xlr ends). It connects the output of one into the input of another.

Everyone on here talks about the fluff. Like how pretty or ugly the speakers are and what they use them for. But the elephant in the room is what are the connectors on the back of the base station? There are zero pictures of the back of the base station and calling many distributors no one has a clue. There are no online user manual pdf's either. I awesome there is an electrical outlet and 2 audio in/out connector holes? Does anyone know? Thank you for helping me as I want to hook this up to my Home AVR Surround Sound system to use for listening to the radio.

..yes, very frustrating. I'm having the same problem and unfortunately we may have to hook up a separate feed from the laptop headphone jack to the audio system. I had understood that you could get sound through the HDMI so this is a pain in the butt.

Plug it into one of your USB ports, then plug the headphones/mic/speakers or whatever your using it for in and you done. Windows has native support so the Operating system should pick it up right away. I bought mine for a set of Klipsch speakers, has been working well for about 4 months.

Go to the Sound properties in Control Panel and make sure it is pointed to use this devices audio driver. This was an automatic process when I installed mine, but obviously there is some other variable in your system. Also go to Device Manager and remove the device and re-install, could be an issue with the audio segment of the driver. Shouldn't be this hard to get audio, so if none of this works it may be defective as others have stated. Hope this helps.

I have the same system and have no problems playing my ipod through all the speakers. There must be something wrong in your settings for that port? I guess I never changed anything when I hooked up my ipod.

Try using a different aux cable. I have had that issue before where I had a mono aux cable. I had no idea there was a difference. That's the last thing I can really think of.

What Brent said. Or get a audio interface. And connect them via 1/4" trs and USB. If your using these to make music I recommend the interface option as you'll want that for the sound card inside and it takes a load off your computer

You're welcome, I made the same mistake when I first got my board. I would invest in some xlr to 1\4 or RCA adapters.

Hey, I had the same problem--you just need an RCA adaptor. Such as a speaker system that you can plug it into.
