How do you hook these up to a Imac?

One of the A2's has a 3mm audio receptacle on its rear panel (earphone jack) as well as analog L & R audio wire inputs (which can be used with legacy receivers). You plug a double-ended (male) 3mm wire into the master speaker & connect the other end to iMac's headphone out. That should do it.If the A2's are going to sit further than a few feet from the iMac, then acquire a pair of Audioengine wireless (AW3) units for greater flexibility in siting. Audiodengine wireless transmitters work very well actually.

three ways;1. mini jack lead2. mini jack lead using audivana dac interface software gives better audio quality3. usb to outboard usb powered dac unit- best audio quality

You can either run the headphone output on the back of the iMac to the input on the A2s (which is what 95% or users will do), or for a more elegant (but more expensive) solution, buy an outboard DAC (digital to analog converter) that can take a USB output from the iMac and convert it to an analog signal for the A2s.

I do not own an iMac, but if it is like 99.9999999% of personal computers then it will have a headphone jack. The A2 speakers come with a cable to allow you to connect them to the headphone jack of any device, assuming it's a standard size 3.5mm jack, which most every modern device uses.Onces that's done, you just have to turn them on and start listening. I think you will be happy with them, I still am after 3years.

Yea. There are all types of drivers online. My imac didn't need drivers. My protools 9 recognized it

Yes. You would just use your headphone jack on the iMAC and the appropriate 3.5mm cable.

It has a FireWire 400 out, I had to get a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter to be able to hook it up to my imac.

I haven't tried it with an iMac but it certainly ought to work. I use it with my laptop.

I bought my TP30 to use with an iMac. The amp plugs into the iMac via USB. Your speakers connect to the amp using regular speaker wire. You have change your computer settings to output sound through the USB port (instead of the internal speakers). I have my TP30 connected to a pair of AudioEngine P4 speakers. This setup is fantastic! Great sound from a small package.

Connectivity includes DVI (DVI-to-VGA adapter included). On iMac and G4. Get the DVI to VGA adapter from Apple, then male VGA to male VGA cable should do it. Don't buy that Rite AV cable choose a better brand unless you want to take a chance getting a good one. I bought the Rite AV and one failed in less than a year.

What projector do you have? Does your Imac have a place for the SVGA Cable to hook up? I don't think the Imac has a place open for the SVGA cable to hook up..? Dan

It comes with a Firewire 800 cable. I'm pretty sure that a 2006 iMac doesn't have a Firewire 800 port, so you'd probably have to purchase a standard Firewire cable.

Works on my iMac, if that's any help. I don't have any of the other Apple devices.

How are you trying to connect it? Hdmi? Pc cable hook up thing? An apple hook up? Magic?

This device has a DVI digital monitor cable (white with lots of pins). I purchased a converter for $30 so it could plug into the micro DisplayPort jack in my laptop. If your IMac as a DisplayPort jack (most recent Macs do) then you will need to purchase the converter.

A 2x rca cable to 3.5 mm plugged in to the macs headphone jack should work.

Hi Glenn, There is not a direct way to hook up the RTi A3 speakers to an Apple desktop computer. The rear connections on the speakers require them to be hooked up to a stereo or home theater receiver. That said, there a couple of ways I would recommend to use your desktop computer and the Polks if you already have a receiver on your home theater system. 1)You can run a 3.5mm M/M stereo audio cable (any length you need) from your desktop computer's headphone jack to your receiver then use a 3.5mm stereo female to 2 RCA stereo male Y-cable to plug in to an auxiliary input on the receiver. Or 2) you can avoid a long 3.5mm cord from your headphone jack by purchasing an Apple Airport Express that plugs into an outlet near your receiver. Then run a much shorter cord from the airport express to the receiver (similar to the other cords above, but you can just get a 3.5mm stereo Y-cable as long as everything is male and not female). I use the long cable to my receiver and listen to my iTunes on my iMac through my receiver and the RTi A3s. It sounds pretty dang good. If you don't have a receiver and have no interest in having that sort of set up, I don't think there is a way to do it. You will want to find speakers that have their own power supply, which the Polk RTi A3s do not have. I hope this helps! Christopher

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.

You cannot plug these directly to your computer. You can hook these up to a receiver/amplifier and use one of the inputs on the receiver/amplifier to connect the line-out from your computer sound card.

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.
