What leads do I need?
What leads do I need? Posted on: 16.02.2013 by Elvis Woodis I've just purchased these speakers...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2611337828...84.m1497.l2649 I'm looking to buy an S4 next week. What leads will I need to link these up to my S4? Will I need a 4 to 2 phono lead? Cheers | |

| Alphonso Deitchman 18.02.2013 | The input labels on the back of the speakers are not labelled very well so I can't be 100% sure without testing them, but yes those cables should do the job. You'll need another RCA to RCA for your S4 if you don't have one already. |
| Elvis Woodis 18.02.2013 | Ok, so at the minute I've bought these two leads.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1606007690...84.m1497.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2508625682...84.m1497.l2649 The first to link up speaker one to my mac/iPod and then second to link up speaker 1 to speaker 2. Is this correct? |
| Elvis Woodis 18.02.2013 | Ok, now I'm confused. I thought makar1's post was correct? An RCA cable from speaker 1 to the S4, and another RCA cable from speaker 1 to speaker 2? |

| Valene Guasp 17.02.2013 | You would only send stereo to one speaker if you only had one speaker, as he has 2 send left and right to corresponding speaker. Sometimes sending stereo to one speaker causes frequencies to phase each other out aswell |

| Valene Guasp 17.02.2013 | Single RCA from L (White) out of S4 to left speaker, single RCA from R (Red) out of S4 to right speaker. Simplesss |
| Elvis Woodis 16.02.2013 | Brilliant, thanks. I suspect option one will achieve the better sound. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 16.02.2013 | You can either connect a pair of RCAs from your S4 to Speaker 1, then another pair of RCAs from Speaker 1 to Speaker 2. Or, connect a single mono RCA from each output of your S4 to each speaker. |

| Elvis Woodis 16.02.2013 | But I thought the thought the S4 only has one rca output? |
| Alphonso Deitchman 16.02.2013 | Looks like you'll need 2x stereo RCA leads. |
