Studio monitoring speakers directly into iPad and Auria...

[macmac62]

Hi everybody, is it possible resp. recommended to connect (active) studio monitors directly to the iPad using the headphone output? I would not want to buy an extra audio interface as I have an Apogee Jam and Mic... Mixing and mastering using headphones is not recommended I am aware...

I've done this with a 1/8" stereo to dual 1/4" mono Y-cable with no problems.

I'm currently using this cable with my powered monitors. They're unbalanced but only 10 feet long, and I haven't noticed any issues. I finally ordered a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 because I grew weary of connecting and disconnecting the Jam and camera connection kit from my iPad. In any case, this cable works perfectly. They also come with RCA cables if your monitors require them.

OK, so I´ll try directly connecting the speakers with these cables...
Thanks a lot!
