How do you setup a mixer going to these speakers? I'm trying to setup a computer karaoke. Will this work? Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your inquiry. If you are setting up a karaoke system, we would recommend getting a USB mixer for your computer in addition to the KRK speakers. This will make it possible for you to mix your microphone levels and speaker levels.

Hi, If you have a mixer with 1/4 inch of XLR outs or even RCA - you can simply connect the mixer directly to the speakers. If you have an RCA connection, for example, one side of the RCA would go to one speaker and the other side would go to the other - since it is split into Left and Right - so one speaker is on the right and the other on the left. You can set these up for Compute Karaoke - you need need a wire that looks like a headphone jack on one side - so this side would plug into your computer where you would ordinarily plug your headphones - and the other side should be Dual RCA - Left and Right - so one side goes into the computer (the headphone jack side) and the RCA side has to be split between the two speakers - one connector goes into one speaker and the other connector into the other. This would definitely work for you. The wire itself is maybe $5 at most. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. My very best wishes, Jennifer Millennium Worldwide

Yes it will work however you need to understand how a sound system works as far as input and output sequencing. Your cpu will would be the starting point. So CPU>MIXER> AMP> SPEAKERS. But these units are one pre amped which is a good thing. But they are not designed for live vocal sounds mp4 playback does not really count. I would suggest getting at least a selfpowered bheringger PA speaker which is designed more for what you need. Hope this helps and if you have anymore questions just ask

Hi, how can you plug the mixer into the laptop? I don't recommend the sound card onboard to record because maybe you experiment some latency when you record. The laptop is ok, but you need to buy adicional parts to optimize the latency, one of those is an external sound card and also one ssd disk to replace the default hard disk. For record i recommend a m-audio card, good luck!

Hi Eric I use powered speakers as i was told i couldnt mix powered with passive speakers. Though i have seen a link on youtube explaing how you can use both using a sound filter check it out i dont have the link. But i use powered speakers and powered bass bin. Sorry i couldnt help. Thanks from Barry.

Hi, make sure you have good quality cables, & try separating your mixer & your speaker power sources....You may be inducing a ground loop... -MT

I'm sorry there's not enough information here . Where is your mixer in the chain from input to output i.e.. speakers. A integrated amp should have a tape monitor loop where the E.Q. would go and it would be able to use it to effect the sound signature from any input. This might help. The output of my pre amp goes to the input of the E.Q. then the out put of the E.Q. goes to the inputs of my two amps. See that way it can modifie the signal so the amps produce the signal you want to go to the speakers

You will need amplifiers system and analog to auxiliary cable in order to work. Go with klipse 2.1 computer speakers would be the best option for you if you don't want to spend all that money on amplifier system and such.

Check out the specks on the Xenyx. I think it has only one preamp. Also check your other equipment to see if they have preamps built into their systems. Any mixer is mainly for routing multiple units to the amps and then on to the speakers or speaker/amps. Most mixers have preamps as part of their input system but not all the inputs are preamps. You can usually tell by the xlr inputs which are always preamps. Juts make sure your mixer has the amount of preamps you need, but most amplifiers now have preamps built in. Feel free to emailme with more info about your system or what you want to do and I will be glad to help you. John

The wires to connect the mixer to the speakers were provided. I got a single microphone with the system and the appropriate to connect it to the mixer. Now your system will have the capability to hook up multiple mics and you will need to get those separately.

It has to be something with your computer or iTunes sound settings. I have the same speaker and they are the best computer speakers I have ever heard. these speakers are very balanced when you set them up right. The rock.

There is only one input and one volume control so you would also need a mixer so you could control the individual sound sources you were tryiny to mix. These speakers would be excellent monitor speakers for a mixing setup.

I'm using an mbox interface. Because these are ultimately speakers for mixing and editing music. Look at my review for these.

Hi James, I'm Jordan. First off I need to clarify which harbinger PA system you have, if it's the 60W or the 120W, I would use the main insert on the back of the mixer and connect a stereo 1/4 Inch Jack to split 1/4 mono jacks, then connect those to the left/mono input and output on the back of the lexicon. Hope that helps. Jordan

Hello there, You can use this device as a mixer. You can take the two karaoke mics and connect to the front mic jacks. You can connect the sound (headphones) out put of the computer to the RCA IN jacks at the back. But now you also need an Amplifier to which you will connect the Mixer RCA OUT in the back. You can connect any pair of speakers to the Amp. I hope this answers your query.

What Brent said. Or get a audio interface. And connect them via 1/4" trs and USB. If your using these to make music I recommend the interface option as you'll want that for the sound card inside and it takes a load off your computer

You need an audio interface. Usually plugs in via USB. The. The speakers can conect to that. They connect via 1/4 inch cables. An interface will run you about 200 for a cheap one that's good enough.

I use a mixer.. Im not sure but I think it makes this stereo if it isn't already. I hear it in both speakers

You might look at my answer to the question above about plugging in a mic. The mixer will let you send the input to the rca inputs, but the comments about the sound stand. If you are looking at buying an amp, you are much better off getting one that is designed for voice. Even a cheap one.If you need a bass amp as well, and the karaoke is just for fun at home, it won't be awful, but it won't be good.
