These active near-field studio monitors give you three wired ways in plus Bluetooth 5.0, so the same pair can sit on a mixing desk or a living-room shelf. The rear panel carries balanced 1/4-inch TRS inputs for an audio interface and unbalanced RCA inputs for a turntable or consumer source, while a front 1/8-inch aux jack handles a phone or laptop quickly. Each input type sums together, so you can leave several sources connected at once. The active speaker powers from a standard figure-8 (IEC C7) mains cord.
Active 5-inch studio monitors with balanced 1/4-inch TRS, unbalanced RCA, front 1/8-inch aux inputs and Bluetooth 5.0.
