are these just speakers? I ordered them and there is no way to plug them into a midi.

Yes. They are NOT self powered speakers such as you would have when connecting to computer or iphone. They are traditional speaker that connects to a stereo or AV reciever. Of course you could buy an additional mini amp to use with them so could connect up a phone or midi source but that a whole other piece of equipment and topic.

No, you would need a separate amplifier. Your other option is to return the Control 1 speakers and get the C2PS Control 2P speakers instead.

No they are not. If that is what you need these will not work. I am very happy with the quality and sound.

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

No they are not, you will need a amp. However for the cost they are a great speaker and the sound quality is great for DJ and parties.

I'm sorry; I'm using them for computer speakers (they're really good) and know nothing about mixing. B

I just plug them into the USB port and the picture of headphone port. Than I got sound. Make sure the volume on your computer is up and adjust the volume on your speakers wire. One time I had turned it the wrong way and got no sound. I hope this is helpful. The sound is great and loud with good base. I use them all the time with my Students skills DVD.

Are you using the USB cable it came with? I had to get a separate midi cable, which I plugged into my sound card and it works just fine.

No these are usb with their own mixer. Download the drivers from their website for the best results. They are impressive for the price.

These speakers were not made to be plugged into any RCA output source, (jacks). You will need to go to your local Radio Shack store and purchase and/or fabricate something yourself. Mine are plugged into a home stereo reciever that has both RCA and the jacks on these speakers.

They do not work on mine. I've hooked it up with the headphone input and now with the digital audio out. If you use a component hook up, you may get sound from both.

No, there is not a good, smart or inexpensive way to convert USB "output" to MIDI. You should find a product that comes with a conventional MIDI out port such as Alesis Q49.

this is a midi controller it doesnt have its own sounds it comes with software or you can use any other software you want you have to use it with a computer,laptop or any other device but there is a microphone hole in it so you can use earphones if you don't have speakers

No, the MIDI output of your synth does not send audio, it's just for control signals. This mixer does not have any MIDI capabilities. To get sound from your synth to this mixer, you'd need to connect the audio outputs (1/4" or whatever your synth has) to the 1/4" inputs of this mixer with appropriate cables/adapters.

It's not a keyboard, it's a midi controller. You need a PC/Mac with speakers + software to use this.

How do I hook these speakers in to my Mac G4? Is there a USB connection or only RCA type jacks requiring a sound card to be put into my computer? Or can they be attached some other way? Any advice would be appreciated.

It is no way to plug these speakers into an audio jack, they only plug into the USB jack.

I don't think so. They aren't meant to be computer speakers, but hooked into an audio receiver in an entertainment system. For what it is worth, the sound great!
