Confused about cables (Connecting amp/mixer to Laptop)
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 4:42 pm
Hey, I've just acquired a decent pair of 150w speakers, a numark mixer and a technics hifi amp for cheap. Now until I start buying some wax i want to rinse out some tunes on my laptop through my new big speakers, and I'm a little bit stumped about how I go about getting these speakers hooked up to my laptop and it would be sweet if you anyone could point me in the right direction so I can get on eBay and get everything hooked up.
My amp is a 'Stereo Tuner Amplifier'. On the front there is a 'Phones' input. The only outputs/inputs on the back are for where the Hifi speakers are plugged in.
Now the idea I have is that I need a Stereo Jack to 2x RCA Phono Plugs cable to plug the amplifier into the mixer (the stereo jack would go into the 'Phones' input on the front?) and the 2 RCA into the Mixer? Then I'm guessing another phono to aux in order to connect the mixer to the laptop.
.. but i need clarification on this, as I'm really not sure I'm right.
Cheers
