Appears to be exactly what I need, but it's 1 ft too short. Any degredation of audio with patch cords?

there is most probably very small breakdown of electrical signal at any connection point. I have never had a length of patch cord where I noticed a breakdown in sound quality. I recommend this product.

Well...Actually not using it in these days...but I remember that...not to buy.what I remember is that some white noise when it's connected.

Have put a 3 ft patch on one of male leads to connect to TV, the other male connects to an Airport express. There is a male to DIN lead from the female socket to our stereo. No noticeable degradation between the two males if I swap leads over...

I think I only ever noticed degradation with patch cords like in the 10 foot range. And really long ones can sometimes pick up radio wave interference and/or give you a hum, hiss, or slight buzzing sound. One of these cords plugged into a phone for example, then patched into a larger amplifier, and you'd never know that music was coming from the phone! Sounds as full and rich as it's recorded!

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways. Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

I assume you want to hear some type of audio connection. you would be looking for an " RCA " audio cable. This is available at Amazon, Ebay, Radio Shack, etc.

To be honnest they are really really shorts... I've a dual monitor with 1 27" and 1 21". One speaker on extreme left and the other one on extreme right. The sub is under my desk.Cords were not long enought and are proprietary plugs. It looks like PS/2 cable but the sound was awfull with a simple PS/2 cable. I finally cuted the cable of the left speaker and I added some lenght with an alarm cable like this one http://www.china-cablewires.com/images/products/2012031913334607979324w1000h1000uzjaomei/fire-alarm-cables-shielded.jpgBut dont forget that you'll void warranty doing that.And another point, the sound is good BUT there's a constant background noise, so I'm not really happy with that...

I had a similar problem. All you can do is cut the wires and splice in 4 meters worth of speaker cable. It's what I did, and i did not notice any loss of fidelity.

You're entirely welcome! As a matter of fact, there is no point to extend the distance between the two speakers. The 30 inch with the original cord has already provided satisfactory separation.

Dear Gregory, You can certainly use a longer power cord--in fact, a better quality power cord can result in better sound the supplied one! I carry the full Audioquest line of power cords. Eric C

The cord is quite small, unless you plan on not moving a lot with the speaker it should be fine. If you need a longer cord I recommend you get a Mediabridge 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.

Hey I was stuck in your boat as well. Today, I bought the Auvio 1/8" 3ft stereo cable from Radio Shack for $16.50 after taxes. The cable works perfectly with my Studios. The cable also feels more durable and looks nice.

I would not stress about this. The best solution would be to use an RCA Y adapter, and you could have one in 2 days from Amazon. However, you will get signal from plugging it into either the red or white terminal. Plug it into the one you like best and order the adaptor. I made my own from an old RCA cable that I had. Remember that you only paid $100 for your surround sound system-you aren't going for audiophile levels of accuracy here.

I just purchased a basic patch cord and a small used amp at a local hock shop. Cost me $50. I do not have a mic stand. Usually just play with it on my desk. A music stand would also work.

Should be longer enough to reach. It sounds like you have the same setup that I do and I had enough cord to hook up

The USB cord is close to 30" long to the *right* speaker. This poses a problem for setups like mine, with my desktop on the floor next to my desk on the left side. There wasn't even close to enough cord to reach to the right-hand side. There was just enough to reach the near side, and the left speaker connects only to the right, so the speakers could be set up reversed. Having them reversed was OK, since I could swap the speakers (make right play the left sounds and vice versa) without too much trouble in Ubuntu.

The Longer the length of cable the less likely the audio will maintain it's purity (signal to noise ratio) as it can pick up AI along the way. This rode Adapter is for a 1/8 stereo jack to XLR, it is not the best way to maintain audio quality. However if your connection (chain) type necessitates this, i must tell you it's not bad at all.

I purchased a "Coax SVGA Monitor Cable Hddb 15m" for $16.35+6.17 shipping+$22.52 I got the 25ft to reach from my TV to my couch but they have shorter in feet. All you do is plug one end into the TV, and the other into the laptop. (mine is male to male ends) Set the source button on your TV to "VGA", turn on your laptop, wait for the signal to come through and your are good to go. If your laptop doesn't have the holes for the pins to screw into, it might be loose and fall out. Check it out, I am extremely pleased with it. BUT, it doesn't have the audio wires. My sound comes out of my laptop. If you want the sound, I suggest the "RiteAV-SVGA Monitor Cable with 3.5m audio" for $12.69+tax (Maybe less for shorter cable than 25ft.) Check both of these out before purchase to see which is best for you. I have no problem with mine and using my 42" HDTV as a monitor is awesome for looking at photos. We watched our Disney photo CD's on Christmas Eve. Good Luck to you!

Wish I knew. I just found your post because I'm looking for the same thing. I probably have a dozen 1/8" mini plug cords at home and not a single one is skinny enough to fit into the headphones' housing.

Make sure it's a shielded RTS 1/4" - XLR conversion. You might get sufficient gain control form the X2U's gain adjustment, but to be safe, I'd agree that you could utilize a DI box or some other signal pad.
