This 8-inch powered studio monitor is an active speaker: each cabinet has its own 203-watt Class-D amplifier and takes a line-level input directly from an interface or mixer, not a speaker-wire connection. Its only audio input is a single balanced combo jack that accepts either a 3-pin XLR or a 1/4-inch TRS/TS plug. There are no RCA or 3.5mm inputs, so a phone or turntable needs an interface in between. Sold singly or as a pair; each cabinet needs its own cable run.
