fej180 · 04-07-2007, 08:16 AM

Hey, I am replacing my soundblaster X-Fi sound card with a Presonus Firebox recording interface. I have the Logitech x-530 5.1 speakers. I dont know how to hook them up to my presonus though. Here is a link to both, any help is greatly appreciated. I dont have the manual to the speakers, and the manual to the recording interface doesnt say how. Thanks

You would have to get adapters, but even then I don't think it would work. Do you not have integrated sound inputs?

What kind of adapters would I have to get? The cables that come out of the speakers, which are now plugged into my Soundblaster X-Fi Card, are the 1/16 inch jacks, that are orange black and green I think. On the Presonus, there are 2 main outs that 1/4 inch, and 4 other outputs which are also 1/4 jacks. Im just not sure how to do it. Thanks
