Yea I sound like a fucking idiot asking this but wanna make sure....


I just bought some KRK RP5s from a mate, along with 2 TRS cables. Now for some reason I thought I could plug TRS cables directly into the back of my pc...I know. So now I got a pair of KRKs just sitting on my floor.

Now im telling you now I don't know fuck all about electronic inputs bla bla bla so Im not completely sure.

So I thought, how am I gonna hook these up to my pc? And I thought through a mixer (which I dont have). So I went looking for some mixers which looked like I could use. I saw this

Now with this am I able to plug my KRK RP5s into the mixer (with 2 TRS Cables) and then plug the mixer into my computer, and the sound will come outa my KRKs? So what do I set the mixer as my soundcard on my pc somehow so that the krks will be recognised as the output so audio from my pc will come outa them?

Mentioned before I dont know much about electronics so...to be honest with you im sick of listening to music through my £8 creative speakers...

are you just using the built in soundcard on the PC?

yea I am

KRKs are "professional" quality speakers with mono inputs so unfortunately for you, you will need to upgrade your soundcard before you can directly plug them into your PC! I have my speakers set up through a 4 in, 4 out 1/4" jack soundcard and it works nicely!

If you plan to use the internal output then you only need a minijack->2xmono trs - cable..

also it seems that rp5:s have RCA inputs as well, so then you could do the connection also with a stereo minijack to rca -cable

You would want Stereo, not mono...


L channel goes to the left speaker, R channel to the right...
