I have one KRK Rokit RP5 G2 at the moment. I want to test the sound.

I don't have an amp, or a seperate soundcard. I don't want to be spend loads of money on something just to connect them to my PC. Can i somehow connect them to my PC with the Numark Mixtrack Pro? as that has a built in amp. I've read on forums people told someone else that they should get an external soundcard...but someone else said it isn't necessary.

So what's the easiest way to go about connecting them? is there a cable that i can plug into the KRK and then put directly into my PC?

Thanks

Edit, the Krks have a built in amplifier. Youll need a lead to go from the mixtrack to your KRKs. The info on that Numark is appalling so I cant easily tell you what lead. I suspect that its a USB souncard with inputs going to PC, if thats the case youll need to go from PC (3.5" jack) to KRK (1/4" jack) with this :

If your built-in soundcard has a stereo mini-jack out, you'll need a stereo 3.5" mini-jack to 2 x male 1/4" balanced TRS connectors to go direct from your PC to the KRK's.

The easiest/cheapest way directly from the onboard would be 3.5mm stereo to 2xRCA, which is a very common cable.

The Numark mixer has RCA outs so from that you could connect with RCA to RCA cables.



That's 2.5mm stereo to stereo, no good.



That's actually 3.5mm to TS, unbalanced. You couldn't make a balanced connection from the onboard anyway.
I don't know if it would work on the KRKs, since the input is made for balanced TRS.

I have yet to see a balanced connector not compatible to unbalanced...
