I'm trying to set up two sets of speakers in different room with input from a computer, how do you connect to the computer as the source of the music?

Forget the wires. If you have wifi, you can use an Apple airport express for each amp/speaker set. Then iTunes (or any sound source from your computer or laptop connected to the network) can play through either or both. I have 8 zones in my house like this now, and it works great. Each can be independently selected with independent volume controls. You can also play from iPad or iPhone, but only one zone at a time.

Easier than you might think. Most PCs will have audio connections on the Mother Board. These will produce a 'line level' output similar to what is produced by CD or DVD players. Most name brand PCs such as Dell or HP will have the drivers already installed. You connect the PC's audio out to the preamps AUX/DVD/CD or tape monitor inputs. This assumes RCA type connections at the PC and Preamp. You may need to get an inexpensive 3.5 mm to RCA adapter cable. Just put that in the Amazon search. Although the AMP-100 has two line level inputs, this can get tricky. You may not get what you expect. Read the free book! Also when connecting multipal sets of speakers it is important to insure that the nominal resistance does not go below 4 ohm or in some newer amps 8 Ohm. Once again. To prevent serious damage.

From computer "Phono out" use cable for instance :Hosa Cable CMR206 Stereo 1/8 Inch to Dual RCA Adapter Cable - 6 Foot (AMAZON)

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

Wow !! I don't know. I connected two male devices to the two female couplings to add it to the input on my computer as shown in the picture. Maybe there is a double male connector with a female end to connect to a device. I am not sure. I just connected (seperately) two sets of coupling addapters to speakers and for microphones.

That's exactly the idea. You connect it on the pc, and in one end the headphones and in the other the speakers. And in virtual dj config, you select dual channel and divide the sound between Left and Right.

I know nothing about computer speakers, but you can connect to any device that accepts a stereo Y-cable (One end is like a headphone plug and the other end is left and right RCA audio plugs). I use one of these cables to connect to my surround sound amplifier to get virtual surround. Much better results than the onboard sound.

Naa. That won't happen. You can only connect to one speaker at a time, and if you want to use two of them, you will have to connect it using wires.

If you have powered speakers, like for a computer, this can connect to them. Otherwise you need a stereo or amplifier.

after you connect your computer to the receiver, then connect this set to the receiver just like other speakers. There is no special connection for this set or anything.

You need to plug speakers into any CPU and then you will have sound. Thanks, Computer World

you can use computer speakers. But you need a power source for the speakers and will have to turn them on and off as with a computer.

You need an audio interface. Usually plugs in via USB. The. The speakers can conect to that. They connect via 1/4 inch cables. An interface will run you about 200 for a cheap one that's good enough.

You can connect to any receivers speaker outputs. You cannot connect these directly to a computer since computers do not have L and R speaker outputs.

They're passive speakers so you'd need an amplifier between your computer and your speakers. I use an Onkyo 8255 receiver/amplifier, which my computer is connected to (laptop 1/8" jack into RCA jack using an adapter).

The best option would be to get a usb interface. You can find a decent one for around $100. Then you could just get a couple 1/4" TRS cables and run those from the speakers to the interface, then connect the interface to your computer with usb.

It is not complicated. Fisrt take every component out. Then connect them using your instructions mannual. Once you have the components connected, there is a plug that connects to the "headphone" or audio section of your computer. make sure you plug it to electricity before you plug it to your computer, and then turn on the system. Then you plug it to the "headphone" or audio inlet of your computer and VOILA....there will be sound through your new speaker system!!!!

Hook up speakers to your source such as the computer. Or get wireless speakers.

you have to plug one speaker into the other and the other speaker into an outlet. Then connect your computer/ipod/phone into the speaker using the cord provided
