Apple 6360 manual Connecting external stereo speakers

Connecting external stereo speakers

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

1Assemble the speakers and the cable you need.

You need a cable with a stereo miniplug at one end to connect one or both speakers to the computer.

Stereo miniplug

Some speakers require a dual-plug adapter, which has two plugs on its end, to plug into Audio In ports on both speakers. Others, like those shown below, accept a single stereo miniplug and are joined by standard speaker wires. See the documentation that came with your speakers for more information.

The following illustration shows the equipment configuration and the connections for a computer sound system.
