Molly Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I was recently gifted a brand new pair of Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-140SA add on speakers. Can I hook these up to my Roland workstation to use as studio monitors? Please educate me on why or why not. Thanks in advance.

Molly Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Do you have advice on finding a quarter inch to spade fork cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2017 I'm not sure try checking Monoprice, they may have them. The only thing is you may need the real name of the connectors, I don't think they are really called what you said ? They have almost every type of adaptor or cable. Not sure what your talking about with a spade fork cable ? Is that just like the single piece that is like a double banana plug connection just in one piece ? https://www.monoprice.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2017 Is this what your calling " quarter inch to spade fork cable " If this is what it is I can't find an adaptor, just not sure if 1/4" is NL4 , (NL4 is the bottom pic) sorry, maby a place that sells stuff for musicians where this plug is used more ? I have heard of people changing out these connectors on the back of pro speakers to other connections but you really can't change out that on a workstation, I guess The top pic would just be a double banana connector, two singles would work if you can convert to the other end connection. The bottom pic is what they call NL4 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent_George Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 So I looked up Roland workstations. It seems it has 1/4inch TRS connections for Monitor outs. You would need to get an amplifier to have the speakers work in this configuration. So it would go TRS Main or Aux Out - Amplifier (doesn't have to be overly expensive) should keep it XLR ins since TRS is balanced from my understanding - To Banana Plugs for the speakers. So to make it work you would need TRS to XLR or RCA cables Amplifier with XLR or RCA input and Binding Posts outs Speaker wire to the speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
