Can I connect them to my Samsung TV for sound? Or do I have to buy speakers? thanks

Most likely no. They include one 1/4 inch unbalanced, and one XLR balanced output. You can buy either an active speaker system or a mixer and amp (or subsequently a powered mixer) to operate these if you don't have one already

You have to buy speakers. Microphones receive sound and then transmit that sound through speakers. However, I wouldn't even recommend these as a paperweight!

Yes you have 2 options. If your TV got a audio output then use that to connect this speakers. If your TV don't have audio output then you need use their AV option (You cannot HDMI)

See if your TV has audio outputs. You can then connect the speakers to the tv.

Diane, these will be great for tv. You will hear sounds you never heard from the tv speakers. You may also want to consider a good quality sound bar with sub woofer. I have one and it is fantastic.

I don t understand this comment! Have you set them up? I have had them for seven months and they work fine. You need a receiver with adequate power. The speakers are attached to a receiver not a TV.

I haven't used these with my TV but I suppose you could as they have analogue and digital inputs. It might be a pain though as you have to adjust the volume from the speaker. Plus with these monitors it's garbage in, garbage out. They are supposed to be near field so the sound you get from your television might not sound so great and might not be worth the investment. They can get loud for sure though.

If you are asking can these speakers be connected directly to the tv, the answer is no...these speakers are designed to connect directly to a home stereo receiver (where you have the tv connected to the input on the home stereo receiver). If you are looking for speakers to connect directly to the tv, you need POWERED speakers (not passive, like the 161's). If your tv has an analog audio output (you would have to check the back), a good option would be the Companion 2 Series III speakers (but only if your tv has an analog audio out).

I don't own the jbl speakers. There for, I don't know if they will work with the TV. U'll just have to do ur research.

The monitors don't provide sound, they are just a display device. Plug your speakers into your computer, or whatever device you have your monitor connected to.

They are generic speakers with two wires coming out of them. You tv would need hookups for that.

Hi Sam,Sorry but please don't waste you time and money on these. They are a cheep knockoff with horrible sound. I ended up throwing mine away almost immediately. I woud up going to the Samsung web site to order some original replacements that I'm very happy with.Hope this helps.

You will have to go through some sort or preamp and amp to provide enough power to drive these speakers. Or a new/current day video receiver is the best match to give you fullest capabilities between your TV and stereo system.

They have to be hooked up to speaker terminals on an amplifier or receiver. Not sure that your TV has the power or connection to connect directly. I would connect the audio outputs to a receiver or if you are using HDMI to a receiver, just connect them to the receiver.

Thanks for your question. You will need a receiver for these. It is a wonderful sounding speaker system.

No, they are standard speakers and need a stereo or receiver to use the speakers, they are not a stand alone audio device.

Yes. .....you will need a power amplifier. ...they are not powered speakers.
