How to connect Wharfedale monitors to Audio Interface?
Q: Hi everybody i’m new into these audio equipments. I have an Edirol UA-25 A/I with balanced I/O connected to my PC via USB and a pair of Wharfedale 8.2 Pro Active Studio Monitors. i believe there’s a XLR port behind each of the monitor. Here are 2 situations:
If i want to use them for monitoring my audio in Adobe Audition so how am i going to connect the monitors to my Edirol UA-25? What type of cable (preferably high quality) should i use?
If i want to use for leisure listening, can i just straight away plug into my sound card audio jacks with adapters or converter or something, so in this case without the Edirol? (it is unnecessarily to turn on Edirol without really using it)
Thank you.
A: Reecky – Very easy hookup.
The Edirol has RCA audio outputs and the Wharfdale’s have RCA inputs. All you need is a pair of good quality RCA cables. If you insist on balanced (it won’t make a difference in the sound with short cables) you could get a 1/4 inch TRS to XLR male cable.

To connect the sound card 3.5mm to the monitors, all you need is a standard 3.5mm to RCA cable like this:
