Connecting external audio monitors to MacBook Pro

I'm trying to set up a home studio. I'm about to purchase two Rokit Powered 8 studio monitors by KRK, which connect via an XLR or a 1/4" RCA cable. How can I connect these monitors to my 15" MacBook Pro?

You need a stereo cable with 2 1/4" RCA plug on one end and the mini plug that you need for the MBP on the other end. They do make these.

  • Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

    What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again.  I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

    1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
    1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
    1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
    1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
    1 USB 3.0 upstream port
    4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
    Thank you!

  • What cable do I need to connect Dell 1707FPt Monitor with MacBook Pro

    Hi and thanks in advance for your answers.
    I have this monitor (Dell 1707FPt) :http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/1707FPT/EN/index.htm
    And I wish to use it with my MacBook Pro. The cable I have now (VGA I believe) does not fit anywhere on the MacBook.
    I'd like to know what cable I need to buy to connect the two.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your answer a brody. I hope this information is what you need.

  • Using an HDMI cable to connect to a monitor from Macbook Pro, but no sound

    I just purchased a HP2159 HD monitor, and hooked it up to my macbook pro via an HDMI cable, but there is no sound. Can anyone help me?

    What do you mean by "properly setup?" There is no setup. Just plug it in.

  • External LCD Monitor and MacBook Pro - Bad Experience

    Hi,
    I have an LG 22" LCD (W2252TQ) attached to my MacBook Pro. And it is a horrible experience. It buzzes if the brightness is not at 100%. The colors are not like they are on the MacBook Pro LCD.
    I am getting the LCD replaced for the 2nd time (the first time was because of a slightly different experience).
    I am beginning to wonder if my MacBook Pro just doesn't play well with this particular model of LCD display. I have it connected via the VGA-DVI adapter. Could that be causing my problem? If I go straight to DVI, will it be better?
    Anyone have any recommended settings for an LCD monitor (gamma, color, etc.)?
    Thanks.

    I have my MBP hooked up to a Viewsonic 22 in. LCD directly with the DVI cable that came with the monitor. No problems so far. Perhaps try a different brand of monitor. I have heard good things about both Viewsonic and Samsung.

  • Connecting Dell u2715h Monitor to Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013

    I recently purchased the Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor U2715H to work as a second monitor with my Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch (late 2013).
    What connection cables do I need to make this work most effectively?

    Hi,
    I bought the same monitor. I will receive it next week, but i read some blogs about the best alternatives for getting the 2560x1440 and my first option will be connecting my macbook pro retina 13' using the thunderbolt (mini-display port) to the mini-display port available in the monitor.
    I'm planning using this cable:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD862ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-05-m
    A mini-reference about the mini-display port (It was useful for me):
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    This is what I'm planning to do. Note that I don't know if it works! I think so, but I don't know. I will tell you if it works next week.
    If you have a mini-display port to display port cable it should work too.
    Regards,
    Carlos.

  • How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
    What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

    and deleted all SyncMaster.icc files. I did leave behind one SyncMaster file in the home/../Displays which had an old date and I new was ok.
    Rebooted, plugged in SyncMaster, and a new icc file was automatically created in the /Library/../Displays folder.
    My display works normally, now.

  • How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

    How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
    Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

    Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one.  It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

    When I connect external LCD monitor to my MacBook Pro I get picture on it, but i got two black spaces on the top and bottom. I also got picture on both monitor, external and MacBook. How can I choose to just have picture on my external monitor?

    "How can I choose to just have picture on my external monitor? "
    Close the lid of the laptop. Let the computer sleep and then wake it up.

  • I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

    New to the community here, thanks for your patience.  I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
    I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
    I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
    Thanks so much.

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • IPhoto Window moves from external monitor to MacBook Pro

    When working with iPhoto 9.5.1 on my external Apple Cinema display, the iPhoto window periodically jumps from the external display to my MacBook Pro display. This usually occurs when I work in a second application for a short while and when returning to iPhoto, as soon as I select something in the iPhoto window, it jumps to the other display. The OS is 10.9.5.

    Sounds like the standard VGA connector used in computers for ages. Connector looks anything like this?

    If yes, will need that adapter and a male to male standard VGA cable.
