Connecting external stereo speakers

You can take advantage of your computer’s stereo sound output by attaching
externally powered (amplified) speakers.

1

Assemble the speakers and the cable you need.

You need a cable with stereo miniplugs at each end to connect one or both
speakers to the computer. (Some speakers require a dual-plug adapter.
Others, like those shown in the next illustration, accept a single stereo
miniplug and are joined by standard speaker wires.)

2

Turn off the Macintosh.

3

Plug a stereo miniplug into the sound output port (

) on the Macintosh.

4

Plug a stereo miniplug into the Audio In port on one of the speakers.

If the speakers take a dual-plug cable, connect both plugs.

5

Connect the speakers together with speaker wires, if necessary.

Your finished connections should look something like this:
