Hi. I want to hook up my Audioengine A5 speakers to my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 external USB interface. The Scarlett has 4 1/4 line output jacks: https://media.sweetwater.com/store/manu ... s/iov3.jpg
The A6's has a single 1/8 mini plug input jack. I believe it is TRS.
I am wondering if I need a y cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/GLS-Audio-10-Fee ... B00M0YDAT2
That would be a male 1/8 TRS to 2 male 1/4 TS. Would that work?
Ok I just read the frigging manual. It says that with the outputs of the 6i6, you can use TS for unbalanced and TRS for balanced. What does that mean in relation to the A5's TRS input jack? Should the 2 male 1/4 jacks be TS or TRS?
Thanks if you can help.
What cable do I need? Scarlett 6i6 to Audioengine A5

The cable you have listed should work fine with the A5. You could also use a cable with RCA instead of 1/8 TRS. I'm not sure if the audio would be any better though.
