    Default hooking up computer speakers to mixer

    Hey guys,
    until now, I have been using only headphones to mix because I didn't have any speakers. But now I found an old pair of computer speakers which I'm wanting to connect to the mixer.
    The mixer has 2 outputs: 2x RCA or 2x TRS (1/4") but the speakers have mini jack (male) connectors. I looked on various sites and also google for some conversion plugs but couldn't find something suited for this..
    Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

    Hey,

    I had the same problem and have now got a RCA to 3.5 jack cable coming out of the mixer. Then you can connect the 3.5 jack from the speakers to the 3.5 jack comin out of the mixer through a little "bridge" you can buy from most electronic stores. Its just a small metal cylinder with a 3.5 connection on both sides. Sorry if the description is bad dont know what that thing is called! Hope it helps.

    Thanks for the reply again
    I don't really like ebay and especially not when the product has to be shipped to europe all the way from asia I think it's a little overkill for such a small cable.
    Anyways, thanks to your links I could do a little more refined google search and I found out conrad actually has these cables in stock under 'overige audio adapterkabels' which is great, I will definitely order that one
    Now I'm looking for some more cool little things on conrad to avoid paying shipping costs (free over 25€ )
