Can I link a USB audio interface to audio monitors with mono jack leads? May 19, 2009
I’ve just bought a Mackie Tapco Link USB Audio Interface and some M-Audio Studiophile DX4 Active Audio Monitors. The interface has 2 1/4″ jack outputs on the back, and the monitors have 2 1/4″ audio inputs. Can I use mono leads to link them or will I need stereo cables?
You should be fine with mono leads if there is one lead per channel.
The combined stereo lead would only be essential if there was a just a single output socket.
You will also be fine if you use 2 X stereo leads as the sockets will just read from one of the channels in this case.
