Is an audio interface really necessary?

Can I link a USB audio interface to audio monitors with mono jack leads?

  • 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?

  • Answer:

    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.
