1 Subwoofer Monitor [COLOR=#22229c]http://www.ikey-audio.com/m-10sv2[/COLOR]

I will plug this 2.1 system in my mac (NOT mixer and external souncard), the subwoofer dont have XLR output, only XLR input, so is impossible send the sound from the subwoofer to the monitors through XLR cable, i will have to use the 1/4 Output Jacks to send the sound to TSR input monitors.

My Doubt is: makes big diferences on the sound’s quality use XLR instead 1/4 Jacks to send the sound from Subwoofers to the monitors ? for now i will only use this to listen music, but i will buy my new dj equipament, i will buy the Novation Twitch and djing with this monitors and sub pluged this way, only with 1/4 Jacks, not with XLR, the sound’s quality will be good ? or is much better with XLR ?? i dont understand very well this technical stuffs, i hope some guys can clarify this for me, thanks alot !!!

I think for home use the 1/4 should do just fine, in fact they aren’t that uncommon at some of the clubs I’ve played at; just make sure they are the right kind of 1/4 – NOT instrument cables. Heres a link to an article on the main site that will explain in further detail:
